Updated services to protect companies from cyber threats

With the help of the new Yandex Security Deck modules and ML WAF technology in Yandex Smart Web Security, businesses will be able to cover key risks, from hacked web applications and DDoS attacks to data leaks.

New models in Security Deck

With the development of technologies, cloud infrastructures are becoming more complex: our large customers often operate thousands of resources that are constantly changing, and in such cases, we cannot do without automating their protection. Today we are taking several important steps in this direction. We are developing the Security Deck CNAPP platform as a single login window that centralizes security management and makes it possible to quickly activate protection with one click.

The Russian Kubernetes® market is growing by 20-25% per year, outpacing global rates. Container technologies were originally developed as a tool for developers, however, not taking into account security requirements and the possiblity of working simultaneously with IS teams. Due to the lack of built-in security tools, 67% of companies have delayed application releases over the past year, and 37% have suffered financial losses.

One of the new modules, Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) in Security Deck, provides a single space for developers and IS teams to monitor security without slowing down development processes. The module discovers and protects Kubernetes clusters, makes it possible to define security policies when deploying applications, and protects them during execution.

In addition to the KSPM module, two other new modules have been added to the Security Deck platform:

  • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) — to automate the security monitoring process of the client’s entire cloud infrastructure configurations.

  • Threat Detection — to automatically monitor threats and display warnings in the console after Security Deck is connected.

The updates also affect the Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) module, a solution for detecting and controlling confidential data in cloud infrastructure. It is now integrated with Yandex 360: you can scan information from Yandex Disk and find personal, payment, and other sensitive data. In the near future, a similar functionality will appear for Yandex Mail.

To test the updated services, submit an application on the site.

Protection from DDoS attacks in Smart Web Security

Smart Web Security also has a new ML WAF module that covers a wider range of threats. This is a new ML-based security technology for blocking web attacks not covered by signature methods.

The new technology was launched as part of a joint venture with SolidSoft. Previously, Yandex B2B Tech and SolidSoft formed a joint venture to create cybersecurity solutions, e.g., tools for businesses to protect their web applications from attacks and other current threats.
