The company reinforces its status as a fast-growing, disruptive leader in the security services landscape with new industry recognitions highlighting innovation and market adoption

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland and Phoenix, July 24, 2019 – Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S), announced today that it has been recognized for the third consecutive year as part of Gartner’s Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services and was also named as one of the top 10 key players in Gartner’s Europe Context: Magic Quadrant for Managed Security Services Worldwide.

These latest accolades come on the heels of Kudelski Security’s previous endorsements for its managed security service offering, which include being named as a leader in the latest “Forrester Wave™: Emerging Managed Security Services Providers (MSSP), Q3 2018” as well as one of the top 20 MSSPs worldwide in the MSSP Alert Top 100 Managed Security Services Providers List for 2018.

“These industry recognitions further validate the commitment we’ve made to provide our clients with a new breed of Managed Security Service to support their evolving security needs and encompass the realities of the market today,” said Alton Kizziah, Kudelski Security’s VP Global Managed Security Services. “Our goal has been to challenge legacy MSSPs by delivering cutting-edge and holistic threat detection combined with incident response that strengthens detection capabilities and interrupts malicious activity – at any stage of any attack.”

Gartner’s Market Guide for MDR services provides insights to security and risk management leaders looking to augment their operations with real-time threat detection and incident response capabilities. Gartner highlights in the 2019 report the different styles of MDR, including managed EDR and the increasing demand for integrated incident response capabilities to contain and disrupt threats efficiently.

“Gartner calls out in the report that the need for organizations today to identify and address multiple threat types in a very short time frame. Unfortunately, well-performed incident response takes time and skill that many organizations just don’t have in house,” continued Kizziah. “Our ability to provide deeper investigation, analysis and validation of threats, along with enhanced guidance on how to contain and mitigate their exposure, provides significant value to our MDR customers.

Kudelski is one of only a few full-service MSSPs referenced in this year’s report that provides advanced detection and response capabilities -such as managed endpoint detection and response, threat hunting, managed attacker deception and integrated incident response (IR) across multiple environments (on premises, Cloud, hybrid, OT/ICS).

Kudelski Security was also recently recognized as of one the top 10 notable vendors in Gartner’s Europe Context: Magic Quadrant for Managed Security Services Worldwide report for its robust capabilities including quicker and more efficient MSS outputs, operational technology and industrial IoT security monitoring, and managed threat hunting. The report also highlighted Kudelski Security’s ability to provide a unified view of security monitoring and visibility across its multiple technology landscapes via a single client portal, which includes on-demand service performance dashboards.

“The attention we’ve received recently from Gartner, Forrester and others accentuate what we’ve heard from our clients, prospects and partners,” added Kizziah “As a result, managed security services have become our area of fastest growth. We continue to add prestigious brands to our long-term, client base around the world and look forward to expanding our offering portfolio to maintain our leading position.”

La nouvelle offre permet de se positionner sur le marché en plein essor des solutions de sécurité pour les réseaux de technologies opérationnelles (TO)

et des systèmes de contrôles industriels (SCI)

CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Suisse et PHOENIX (AZ), USA – 7 Mai 2018 – Kudelski Security, la division cybersécurité du Groupe Kudelski (SIX:KUD.S) et fournisseur de solutions innovantes dans le domaine de la cybersécurité, a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement de son offre de services de sécurité managés axée sur la protection des technologies opérationnelles (TO) et des systèmes de contrôles industriels (SCI). Pour mettre en place cette nouvelle offre, Kudelski Security a conclu un partenariat stratégique avec Claroty, dont la technologie sera intégrée dans les Cyber Fusion Center (CFC) de Kudelski Security en Suisse et aux États-Unis.

« Les technologies opérationnelles représentent un risque croissant pour les clients dans le monde entier », a déclaré Rich Fennessy, CEO de Kudelski Security. « Alors que quelques attaques spectaculaires d’infrastructures critiques ont souligné la nécessité d’une meilleure sécurité, un grand nombre d’organisations peinent encore à contrôler efficacement leur environnement industriel. Nous comblons cette lacune en leur proposant des services bien définis et une technologie éprouvée permettant de réduire les risques. »

L’offre de services de sécurité managés de Kudelski Security s’enrichit sans cesse de nouvelles innovations, en Europe comme aux États-Unis. Kudelski Security a notamment été le premier à proposer la technologie de réseaux de leurres (« managed attacker deception ») début 2017, complétant son offre de services sécurité managés axée sur la détection et la réponse aux menaces avancées au niveau des terminaux (« managed detection & response (MDR) »). L’ajout de services spécifiquement conçus pour contrôler des technologies opérationnelles donne aux clients une plus grande visibilité et leur permet d’augmenter la protection de leurs infrastructures critiques et de réduire ainsi le risque d’exposition aux cyber-menaces.

« Nous nous réjouissons d’étendre notre offre de services de sécurité managés avec Claroty, qui propose une technologie d’avant-garde pour la protection des réseaux de technologies opérationnelles et des systèmes de contrôles industriels », a déclaré Alton Kizziah, Vice-Président Global Managed Services chez Kudelski Security. « Nous sommes constamment à la recherche de technologies et de capacités qui répondent aux défis les plus complexes et fournissent de la valeur ajoutée à nos clients. En répondant aux préoccupations spécifiques des technologies opérationnelles et des systèmes de contrôles industriels, nous offrons à la fois une capacité additionnelle de réduire les cyber-menaces et un service essentiel aux prestataires d’infrastructures critiques et aux entreprises dans les secteurs industriels et des télécommunications. »

Les activités malveillantes sur les réseaux TO se multiplient, comme le montre la hausse des menaces provenant de groupes de pirates de SCI et l’émergence de logiciels malveillants spécifiques aux SCI, comme par exemple Trisis et CrashOverride. Cette tendance va se poursuivre dans le futur et Gartner estime que les dépenses liées à la sécurité TO atteindront entre 8 milliards USD et 14 milliards USD d’ici 2022. Le partenariat de Kudelski Security avec Claroty a pour objectif d’apporter des services de monitoring et de réponse en temps réel aux réseaux TO pour un large éventail d’industries, y compris dans les domaines de l’énergie et des services publics.

En intégrant Claroty dans la stratégie CFC de Kudelski Security, il sera désormais possible de fournir aux opérateurs et aux analystes de sécurité une visibilité hors du commun dans les réseaux TO ainsi que dans les systèmes qui les exploitent, tout en étant complètement passif. Par définition, les opérations normales ne sont pas affectées, et par conséquent ces systèmes critiques peuvent continuer de fonctionner sans interruption.

L‘ajout de Claroty, fournissant la capacité de monitorer des technologies opérationnelles, est une étape vers la réalisation d'une stratégie plus large, à trois niveaux, pour sécuriser le processus de transformation numérique dans les environnements TO et IoT. Le Centre d’Excellence en Sécurité de l’Internet des Objets du Groupe lancé en 2017, fournit des services de design et d’évaluations de sécurité de terminaux. La plateforme sécurisée IoT permet quant à elle de sécuriser des terminaux tout au long de leur cycle de vie ainsi que les données critiques qu’ils produisent. Ces deux solutions peuvent être associées aux services de sécurité managés de Kudelski Security, permettant au Groupe de monitorer la sécurité des terminaux IoT et fournir une réponse aux incidents. Cette approche intégrée permet ainsi d’aider les organisations à concevoir, gérer et maintenir leurs activités IoT de manière sécurisée.

Company Recognized as One of the Few Full-Service MSSPs Offering MDR Capabilities to Improve Threat Detection, Incident Response and Continuous Monitoring

CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Switzerland and PHOENIX, July 6^th, 2017 – Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division of the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) and trusted innovator for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, today announced it has been recognized in Gartner’s recently released “Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services” as a Representative Vendor.

Gartner’s guide provides insights to IT security professionals looking to augment their operations with real-time threat detection and incident response capabilities. As one of its key findings shows, organizations often struggle to deploy MDR capabilities due to limited resources in people, processes and technology. Kudelski Security, one of only a few full-service Managed Security Services providers (MSSP) referenced in the guide, offers enterprises a cost-effective way to overcome these challenges and optimize cyber defenses.

“Enterprises are reeling from the scale and frequency of security threats and, despite resource limitations, there’s great pressure on CISOs to have the right people, process and technology in place,” said Rich Fennessy, chief executive officer, Kudelski Security. “Gartner has led the industry with research into MDR and based on their findings expect use to increase from 1 percent to 15 percent of organizations by 2020.

“This recognition in the Gartner market guide validates once more our managed security strategy,” continued Fennessy. “Our broader approach includes innovative new services such as managed deception, managed endpoint and rapid incident response, and has generated tremendous client interest. By going far beyond legacy MSSPs we’re helping to set a new benchmark in detecting and defending against cyber adversaries.”

Kudelski Security has been hailed for utilizing iterative intelligence, advanced detection and deep analysis capabilities to develop new “MSS 2.0” security solutions. The resulting powerful, first-of-its kind offerings are driven by Cyber Fusion Centers (CFCs) in Switzerland and Phoenix, which provide the ability to fuse contextual threat intelligence with security-relevant data. This enables Kudelski Security’s service teams to rapidly identify and respond to evasive threats and ensure clients have the vital information and forensic support necessary for quick, effective response.

Over the past year, the company has set an innovation leadership pace in the security marketplace by introducing breakthroughs ranging from the Kudelski Security Research Division to the Kudelski Group’s Internet of Things (IoT) Security Center of Excellence. Only weeks ago, Kudelski Security announced it had created the first and only MSS solution featuring illusive networks’ Deception Management System™(DMS), which minimizes time-to-detection and the impact of breaches by forcing cyber intruders into an alternate reality.

llusive's Pioneering Deceptions Everywhere Technology to Enable Kudelski Security’s
Managed Security Services to Minimize Time to Detection and Impact of Breaches
by Forcing Intruders Into an Alternate Reality

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland and Phoenix (AZ), USA, May 3 , 2017 – Kudelski Security, the
cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) and trusted innovator for the world’s most
security-conscious organizations, today announced that illusive networks’ innovative Deceptions
Everywhere® technology has been integrated into Kudelski Security’s managed security services (MSS)
offerings. This is the first and only managed security services solution to feature illusive’s Deception
Management SystemTM(DMS), creating the most robust enterprise-class protection offering available.

Traditional managed security service providers (MSSPs) offer solutions that do little more than alert
clients to anomalies on the network, often leaving security teams to do the time-consuming work of
identifying real threats. This wastes critical time in the event of a breach and leads clients to question the
value and return on their MSSP investment. In response to this, Kudelski Security has pioneered a new
approach to MSS. Delivered through global Cyber Fusion Centers in Cheseaux, Switzerland and in
Phoenix, Arizona, Kudelski Security’s MSS offerings provide enterprises with the relevant, contextualized,
actionable threat intelligence they need to make better decisions, faster and reduce the time to identify an
attack.

“Kudelski Security distinguishes its MSS offering by adopting cutting-edge technologies and approaches
that better match the security demands created by a continuously evolving threat landscape,” said Rich
Fennessy, Chief Executive Officer of Kudelski Security. “Illusive networks’ Deceptions Everywhere
technology is an important addition to our MSS strategy, enabling us to better protect our clients’ critical
assets by identifying breaches more quickly, slowing attackers down and reducing the damage they can
cause.”

“Illusive’s dynamic cybersecurity solution blankets a company’s entire network with information that
deceives attackers, providing a high detection rate, near zero false positives, plus it is easy both to deploy
and maintain, especially for large organizations,” said Tracy Pallas, vice president, worldwide channels at
illusive networks. “Our industry-leading, pre-emptive deception technology will greatly enhance Kudelski
Security’s market-disruptive approach of providing more effective and valuable managed security
services.”

Typical honeypot networks are easy for experienced hackers to identify, as they are often small and
contain generic file and machine names. Honeypots are passive, placed in the hope that attackers may
stumble upon them. They also lack elements that are present in real endpoints and networks, such as
recent browser histories, logins and other activities. Illusive’s sophisticated approach creates an alternate
network environment that behaves and appears as a real network would. Driven by an advanced machine
learning platform that preemptively identifies attack pathways, best-fit deceptions are autonomously
produced based on continuous real-time environment analysis, deployed agentlessly and set remotely.
By providing an endless source of false information, illusive’s solution mitigates Advanced Persistent
Threats (APT) at the earliest opportunity, enabling clients to detect breaches with real-time forensics and
without disruption to business. If an attacker can determine that they’ve discovered a network guarded
with deception technology, they will move even slower, knowing that any wrong maneuver will alert the
enterprise to their presence and shut them out.

“Illusive keeps intruders guessing even if they’ve managed to penetrate an enterprise’s real network. We
are able to deploy deceptions everywhere, learn how attackers behave and expose their tactics, creating
actionable intelligence for security teams to use in order to fortify their environment against future
threats,” said Alton Kizziah, vice president, global managed services, Kudelski Security. “The fact that
both companies create advanced solutions that provide relevant threat data and reduce time to detection
make this an ideal partnership. Our already robust managed service offering is now made even more
powerful through this integration.”

Kudelski Security’s Managed Security Services with illusive networks’ Deceptions Everywhere technology
is available immediately. For more information or to arrange for a demonstration, please visit:

illusive networks is pioneering deception-based cybersecurity with its patented Deceptions Everywhere®
technology that neutralizes targeted attacks and Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) by creating a
deceptive layer across the entire network. By providing an endless source of false information, illusive

Kudelski Security Launches its U.S. Cyber Fusion Center and Pioneers New Approach to Managed Services

Introduces first managed security offering addressing all phases of the attack kill chain; Provides CISOs with relevant intelligence, contextualized data and comprehensive threat response plans CHESEAUX, Switzerland and PHOENIX (AZ), USA, February 8 2017 – Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) and trusted innovator for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, today announced the availability of powerful, first-of-its kind Managed Security Services (MSS) delivered by its Cyber Fusion Centers (CFCs) in Switzerland and Phoenix.

Kudelski Security’s offerings were designed from the ground up to address gaps in traditional managed security services provider (MSSP) approaches and deliver what organizations need most: the ability to reduce the time it takes to detect threats. Kudelski Security developed its MSS infrastructure, selected cutting-edge technologies and created unique methodology to meet security needs being created by rapid business transformation, as well as to overcome modern cyber adversaries’ tactics, techniques and procedures.

“Providing security monitoring on a 24/7 basis is no longer enough,” said Rich Fennessy, CEO of Kudelski Security. “Digital transformation continues to introduce new technology that accelerates business innovation and growth. However, it also leaves us exposed to the evolving risks of cybercrime. We need a new generation of services driven by an approach that seeks to identify and contain threats earlier on, before they damage business operations and reputation.

”The company powers its new MSS approach using advanced CFCs that provide the ability to fuse contextual threat intelligence with security-relevant data. This enables Kudelski Security service teams to more rapidly identify and respond to evasive threats and ensure clients have the vital information and forensic support they need for a quick, effective response.

“Kudelski Security is bringing a radical new approach to MSS, with an offering that promises to do what traditional MSSPs have historically struggled with: fast, accurate and predictive threat detection,” said Martha Vasquez, senior research analyst for IDC Infrastructure Services Research Practice. “Kudelski’s CFCs are able to analyze incredible amounts of data to accurately learn the habits and methodology of attackers, which enables them to detect and defend against potential threats while still in the pre-breach stage of the attack kill chain.”

Traditional MSSPs are not delivering the value that organizations need

The traditional focus on the breach stage of the attack kill chain is a key reason why the average breach goes undetected for 146 days. This gives cybercriminals time to process the full attack lifecycle and achieve their mission objectives, such as corporate espionage and data theft.

“Our approach is unique, powerful and focused on driving value to client security teams,” said Alton Kizziah, vice president, global managed services, Kudelski Security. “We go beyond legacy MSSPs and take a non-linear approach to the attack kill chain that mirrors the way attackers move. This enables us to combat advanced adversaries and disrupt their movements at progressively earlier stages of an attack.”

Kudelski Security’s CFCs collect and analyze data relevant to an organization, as well as its vertical market. Leveraging its in-house Research & Development capabilities, analysts are able to contextualize findings and inject them into a custom-built analytics platform in order to deliver increasingly relevant and actionable content with recommended responses, thereby reducing time to detection and even discovering threats while still in the pre-breach phase.

Kudelski Security’s MSS offering includes the following services:

• Comprehensive Threat Intelligence & Monitoring: The CFC fuses technical data with relevant threat, industry and business intelligence as soon as suspicious activity is detected on a client’s network. Threat Hunting and Analyst teams review alerts, analyze impact and investigate the potential root cause. The result is a detailed, tailored report providing CISOs and security teams the necessary contextual intelligence, security event data and expert recommendations to quickly and effectively respond to security threats and stop attackers in their tracks.

• Full Security Device Management & Support: The CFC manages, monitors and maintains a wide range of security devices from leading technology vendors such as F5, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper, RSA and LogRhythm. Kudelski Security’s vendor-certified experts act as an extension of the organization’s team, providing specialized, round-the-clock security device support and management, freeing up staff to focus on other initiatives.

• Powerful Breach Detection & Response: Traditional proactive prevention has failed and attackers are now shifting their primary focus from the network toward the endpoint – the weakest link in most defenses. Data generated by CrowdStrike’s state-of-the-art Endpoint Detection & Response technology, and Illusive Networks’ advanced Attacker Deception platform, is automatically fused with third-party and proprietary threat intelligence. This enables the CFC to detect activities faster, confuse attackers, collect forensic data and contain the threat, while activating client incident response plans.

“Our strategic partnership with Kudelski Security equips joint customers with a unique opportunity to more effectively manage security operations, assets and be unequivocally prepared to stop breaches,” said George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “Kudelski Security’s innovative approach to delivering fast, agile and proactive MSS is a perfect fit for CrowdStrike’s cloud-native endpoint protection platform, and sets a new standard of effectiveness, efficiency and scalability in enterprise security.”

Kudelski Security’s MSS provide enterprises with scalable offerings, customizable to suit any organization’s unique business goals and environment. Intuitive, easy-to-use client portals provide CISOs and security leaders an instant view on their threat landscape. With real-time service updates, incident alerts, reports and a range of other resources, the services simplify management of security infrastructure and targeted threats and help minimize the impact of a breach.
