Digital Shadows announces its Digital Risk Management Technology Ecosystem

Dubai, UAE, October 24, 2017 – Digital Shadows, the industry leader in digital risk management, today announced the launch of its Digital Risk Management Technology Ecosystem. Formed from almost a dozen technology companies, with more expected to join in the coming months, they all share a vision for how security analytics and security information and event management (SIEM), product orchestration and automation, risk & compliance, intelligence and network enforcement, must work together to best protect customers from today’s digital risks. All initial ecosystem members will bring their individual, industry-proven strengths to enhance Digital Shadows’ intelligence and digital risk management capabilities which extend across the widest range of data sources within the open, deep and dark web to protect customers around the world.

Cyber and physical threats, combined with data, brand, VIP and infrastructure exposure along with third-party risk, are continuing to grow in complexity and volume. Organizations need a rapid and coordinated approach to analysis and response, but their existing solutions typically aren’t validated to work together to facilitate these efforts. To meet this need, Digital Shadows developed the Digital Risk Management Technology Ecosystem to give customers a tightly integrated portfolio of third-party technology products and services, enabling enhanced threat management and remediation capabilities to protect customers’ business, brand and reputation, while simultaneously accelerating return on investment for existing security solutions.

“Today’s digital economy indexed on the use of digital technologies requires that organizations gain complete visibility into their digital footprint to understand their external risk exposure and enable threat mitigation actions,” said Doug Cahill, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Such a holistic approach requires collaboration and integrations that when realized, would enable organizations to take a huge step forward in business efficiency and security effectiveness.”

Alex Seton, Digital Shadows VP Business & Corporate Development said, “Customers seeking to leverage Digital Shadows Searchlight intelligence and digital risk management service with third-party products will now be able to more effectively respond to digital threats. Through a framework created with leading industry partners, Digital Shadows customers now gain even greater insight, a streamlined approach to workflow and remediation, and network-level resolution to verified threats.”
