NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Siemplify™, the leader in Security Orchestration, Automation, and Incident Response, today announced the roll out of a major product enhancement fulfilling the demands of the today’s security operations.
Siemplify ThreatNexus is the industry’s first security orchestration platform to automatically unify today’s disparate enterprise security tools, providing SOC teams with a comprehensive platform for security operations and incident response. Security operations are struggling under the weight of a barrage of alerts straining both infrastructure and personnel. With ThreatNexus as the nucleus of their threat management, Enterprise and MSSP security teams are finally armed with the tools necessary to connect the dots and respond to all types of threats.
Security operations teams are engaged in a constant struggle to keep up with the volume of security alerts, maintain the right skills, and manage incident response processes.
They want quality information, presented in a way that makes it easy to grasp and react to quickly. They want not to be bogged down in security alerts, and not to spend precious time searching for information. They want every task that can be automated to be automated. They want to have one central place where they can ingest all the information needed to make decisions that will minimize IT and business risk for their organizations.
In short: they want a technological solution that is built with them in mind.
Nobody questions whether cybersecurity’s relevance has skyrocketed in recent years. The frequency of attacks and the amount of damage attacks can inflict have both risen exponentially. Across all industries, big and small companies are scattering for solutions to protect their highly sensitive information from these new threats.
This has forced cybersecurity experts around the world to play a freshly dealt hand: cybersecurity risks are at an all time high, and they have potential to cause more damage than ever before. Regarding which industry you work in, the attacks can be indiscriminate. Nobody is safe. This has given a rise to innovative solutions to curb or outright stop attacks dead in their tracks.
Here are some observations we have seen thus far in 2017:
Siemplify™, the leader in security orchestration and automation, today announced the expansion of its Executive Team with the addition of Stefan Schmid as Vice President of Sales, EMEA. Stefan brings decades of security and sales leadership experience, and will help strengthen Siemplify’s position as a leader in powering security operations for Enterprise and MSSP organizations throughout the region as global demand for security orchestration continues to accelerate.
Siemplify™, the leader in security orchestration and automation, today announced Miguel Carrero, formerly Executive Vice President of Strategy and Business Development will expand his duties to Chief Revenue Officer. With decades of enterprise software and cyber-security leadership experience, Miguel will help strengthen Siemplify’s position as a leader in powering security operations for Enterprise and MSSP organizations.
To sustain market leadership, SORs must embrace creative disruption. This means developing an SOI tier, decoupling it from the SOR for cross-platform intelligence and embracing an open platform architecture for application developers to build on top of the SOI as a marketplace. Splunk’s Splunkbase is a microcosm of this concept, and serverless will make this economically feasible for companies at a variety of stages in their life cycle.
Last but not least, systems of engagement (SOE) are the consumers leveraging the SOI tier to build applications for security analysts. SOAR startups like Siemplify are currently receiving attention for defining workflows automation to meet the challenges of modern security operations.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Siemplify™, the leader in Security Orchestration and Incident Response, announced today it has joined the HPE Security Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program, integrating its security orchestration and incident response capabilities with HPE Security ArcSight. This aims to provide security teams with the necessary platform and tools to effectively detect, triage and respond to threats, manage day to day alerts, and drive efficiency across their security operations.
A new Forrester report from top cybersecurity analysts reported that companies such as Siemplify, Hexadite, and Cybersponse are promoting industry shifting philosophies. They operate on this sort of premise: with an increased frequency of attacks and their intricacy, it is nearly impossible to gauge the actual threat being posed by each alert that comes through your system. You simply do not have the resources, or as mentioned earlier, the workforce, to adequately scrub through each alert coming across your desk. It takes a new kind of outlook to be able to tackle the issue at hand, and the answer is not so black and white. The only good solution is one that takes all the good from each cybersecurity defense tactic and combining it into one, or better known as orchestration.
oint research with Enterprise Security Group reveals security leaders’ top challenges and their broader implications for security operations
NEW YORK– (BUSINESS WIRE)–Siemplify™, the leader in security orchestration and incident response, today announced the release of a new Enterprise Security Group (ESG) Research Report. In early 2017, ESG and Siemplify launched a joint research effort to better understand the complex challenges and priorities that security operations leaders are navigating this year.
Surveying 150 cybersecurity professionals across a variety of verticals, the extensive study sheds new light on the growing needs of security operations. Though organizations have spent resources on and deployed more detection systems, there is now a developing need to shift their focus to achieving efficient and rapid response times, making it clear that manual and unstructured triage and response processes are one of the main factors hampering efficient response. Organizations were furthermore overwhelmed by the amount of security alert data and also struggle with the cybersecurity industry’s ongoing staff and skill shortage.
Short-staffed, more than half of organizations admit they ignore alerts that should be investigated because they lack resources to handle the overflow.
Strained by the cybersecurity skills shortage, 54 percent of respondents to a new survey say they are forced to ignore security alerts worthy of further investigation, because they don’t have the staff and expertise to handle them
The Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) surveyed 150 IT and cybersecurity pros with knowledge of, or responsibility for, enterprise security. In the study, released today, they discovered security operations has become a “bottleneck” as challenges in people, processes, and technology limit organizations’ ability to handle threats.

NEW YORK–Siemplify, the leader in threat management and security orchestration today announced the extension of its ThreatNexus platform to the MSSP market.
The challenge of too many alerts, dependence on manual processes, and a shortage of analysts plaguing security operations are helping to drive robust growth in MSSP’s. Yet these challenges are being exacerbated with MSSP’s, leading to higher customer acquisition cost and lower margins. The MSSP market faces some unique challenges; the need to abstract different technology stacks across their client base into a common security orchestration framework, the need to drive efficiency and automation among their analyst team to maintaining profitability, and the need to standardize processes across diverse security teams and customer profiles.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Siemplify™, the leader in threat management, security orchestration, and incident response, today announced the expansion of its Advisory Board with the addition of Miguel Carrero.

I spoke with Amos Stern, Siemplify’s CEO and co-founder, about the platform’s benefits and how it impacts security in the Internet of Things.
Most companies don’t lack for security products—and that’s become a problem. Firewalls, IDS/IPSs, AV, and a host of other systems generate tons of logs and alerts, forcing security operators and admins to sift through piles of notifications to find relevant information during investigations.
Israeli cyber security startup Siemplify has raised $4 million. The investors include 83North Venture Capital (formerly Greylock IL) and angel investors David Strohm (Partner, Greylock Partners), Alex Pinchev (Rackspace president Global Sales and Marketing), Alex Daly, (former ArcSight founder and CEO), Tom Kilroy (EVP Intel), and Moti Gutman (Matrix CEO).

Transforming the way enterprises perform cyberthreat analysis, Siemplify emerged from stealth mode today with the first security operations platform to employ the same advanced cybersecurity methodologies used by leading military intelligence organizations.
The Siemplify Threat Analysis Platform automatically correlates security alerts, identifies and prioritizes incidents, and graphically depicts the complete threat chain, setting new standards for time-to-insight and time-to-remediate. The platform acts as a central hub linking an organization’s existing security, threat intelligence and risk management tools, including Splunk and popular SIEMs, effectively improving the return on those investments.
According to a study conducted by HP and the Ponemon Institute, companies need an average of 46 days to resolve a cyberattack. “The problem is not detection per se but discerning the threats hidden in the noise of thousands of alerts generated by the disparate security monitoring systems,” said Amos Stern, CEO and co-founder of Siemplify. “This makes it impossible to see the broader attack chain and identify root cause quickly.”
Israel-founded cyber threat analysis platform Siemplify has come out of stealth by announcing pilots with several companies as well as early adopters in the finance, telecoms, and pharma industries.
The Siemplify Threat Analysis Platform analyses security incidents by priority and creates a context of the threat for the best response. Currently it takes roughly 46 days to resolve a cyberattack, according to a Ponemon Institute study with HP.
“The problem is not detection per se but discerning the threats hidden in the noise of thousands of alerts generated by the disparate security monitoring systems,” said Siemplify CEO Amos Stern. “This makes it impossible to see the broader attack chain and identify root cause quickly.”
Israeli startup Siemplify, which is applying military intelligence tech to enterprise security software, is making its debut in a big way by announcing they have already raised $4 million and are already running cybersecurity trials with several Fortune 50 companies and Israeli banks and telecoms.
Investors include CEO Moti Gutman of Matrix, Exec VP Tom Kilroy of Intel, President Alex Pinchev at Rackspace, David Strohm of Greylock Partners, Alex Daly and 83North Venture Capital. Siemplify is also a product of the fifth batch at the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator in Tel Aviv.
Israeli cybersecurity firm Siemplify said on Thursday it has raised $4 million as it launched its platform that reduces the time between cyber attack identification and resolution.
The company, whose investors include 83North Venture Capital, said it uses real-time graph analysis and methodologies gained from military intelligence.
With millions of cyberattacks being launched against the private sector every day, enterprises can no longer afford to wait weeks for their security teams to manually track down every breach. The latest startup to take a shot at speeding detection times is Siemplify Ltd., which came out of stealth mode today with a threat analysis platform that uses an organization’s existing network monitoring mechanisms in order to identify data leaks.
The software can interface with everything from traditional all-in-one security tracking suites to more modern software like Splunk Inc.’s popular namesake platform for aggregating operational logs. After everything is properly integrated, the records from the different systems are streamed into a centralized repository and correlated to uncover patterns that may not emerge when each data source is examined individually. The approach makes it possible to determine the full scope of an attack and weed out false positives in the process.
Siemplify’s platform displays the filtered results in a graphical interface
The interface provides modelling tools for getting to the root of the breach. The functionality enables security professionals to switch among data sources in order to examine the attack from different angles and assemble the pieces into a timeline that can be traced back to the initial network compromise. The startup says that carrying out the analysis visually is much more straightforward than working directly with the raw information, and therefore faster as well.
The end-result is that hackers have less time to snoop around inside an organization’s systems after they’ve broken through its defenses. That value proposition has helped Siemplify attract $4 million from half a dozen high-profile investors including Intel Corp. corporate strategy boss Tom Kilroy, as well as several major customers in its home country of Israel. The startup says that multiple Fortune 50 companies are also piloting its platform, which could lead to big contracts further down the line.
Lessons from building the threat intelligence platform for the Israeli Defence Force form the technical foundations of a new security startup called Siemplify.
Siemplify’s tech is designed to contextualise threat alerts from the disparate array of security technologies on enterprise networks (anti-malware, intrusion detection systems, firewalls and more). Its platform acts as a central hub linking an organisation’s existing security, threat intelligence and risk management tools, including Splunk and other popular (security information and event management systems) SIEMs, before consolidating and correlating alerts.
