Nord Security launches NordStellar, a new threat exposure management platform for businesses
LONDON, May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading cybersecurity company Nord Security introduces NordStellar, a next-generation threat exposure management platform. Created by developers of market-leading VPN solution NordVPN, the enterprise cyber threat exposure management platform helps businesses detect and respond to cyber threats, secure data access, safeguard accounts, prevent fraud, and reduce the risk of ransomware attacks.
“Businesses are often unaware of data leaks until it’s too late. Also, monitoring external cyber threats demands significant investment in both time and human resources. NordStellar allows companies to cut down on data leak detection times, save resources with automated monitoring, and minimize risk to an organization,” says Vakaris Noreika, head of product for NordStellar.
The rise of cyberattacks on businesses
The number of cyberattacks targeting businesses is increasing at an alarming rate. According to recent statistics, ransomware attacks have seen a significant surge and now account for almost a quarter of all breaches. There was a 71% increase in attacks targeting identities in 2023. Additionally, cybercriminals now commonly abuse valid accounts, which account for 30% of all incidents.
Noreika emphasizes that threat actors don’t need to look for complicated methods to access systems today. Instead, they can simply search for credentials that are probably already available on the dark web. This presents a risk that NordStellar can mitigate.
How companies benefit from NordStellar
NordStellar provides comprehensive protection and dark web monitoring for employee, brand, and corporate security. It bolsters enterprises’ resilience against cyberattacks by reducing ransomware risks, preventing account takeovers, identifying malware exposure, detecting compromised credentials, and protecting employees from identity theft.
“The new platform enables security teams to detect and respond to cyber threats aimed at companies before they become more serious. The multifaceted approach enhances businesses’ overall cybersecurity posture by identifying and mitigating internal and external threats promptly,” says Noreika.
