Blackpoint Cyber & CyberFOX partner to offer bundled security

Techday NZ3 days ago
Blackpoint Cyber and CyberFOX have entered into a strategic partnership that will see CyberFOX become an official reseller of Blackpoint Cyber's security solutions, making bundled cybersecurity offerings available to partners from a single provider.
The agreement means CyberFOX will provide all Blackpoint Cyber solutions through its own platform, giving partners the opportunity to combine Privileged Access Management (PAM) with Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This combination aims to help managed service providers (MSPs) simplify compliance, mitigate risk, and respond to cybersecurity incidents with increased efficiency.
The bundled offerings are designed to provide protection against credential abuse, lateral movement within networks, and privilege escalation attacks. Additionally, the integrated solution streamlines compliance workflows for regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
Tim Sheahen, Senior Vice President of Sales at Blackpoint Cyber, commented on the value of the strategic partnership. "Blackpoint was built to give defenders an advantage. We're proud to partner with CyberFOX to expand access to our platform and bring our real-time threat detection and response capabilities together with world-class PAM. This partnership reflects our shared belief in simplicity, interoperability, and delivering real security outcomes for partners and their clients."
Adam Slutskin, Chief Revenue Officer at CyberFOX, highlighted the benefits the arrangement will provide to partners and clients. "At CyberFOX, we believe security should be effective, affordable, and easy to manage. By partnering with Blackpoint, we're giving our partners the ability to consolidate tools, reduce alert fatigue, and improve incident response, all while protecting privileged accounts and credentials. We're excited to deliver this 'better together' experience to our growing partner ecosystem."
As part of the new partnership, Blackpoint Cyber will offer dedicated technical support and resources to all CyberFOX partners. This is intended to help them integrate and adopt the solutions quickly and extract maximum value from the bundled offerings. Both companies have stated that their collective goal is to improve resilience for MSPs through risk reduction, greater use of automation, and enhanced oversight of security operations.
By enabling partners to access a bundled offering of world-class threat detection and response with identity-centric security from a single provider, the companies aim to empower MSPs to deliver stronger security outcomes to their clients without adding complexity to their operations. The partnership follows a growing industry trend of consolidating security solutions to support organisations dealing with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and regulatory pressures.
CyberFOX is a global cybersecurity software provider focused on privileged access management (PAM) and password management for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT Pros. Its flagship products, Password Boss for password management and CyberFOX AutoElevate for PAM, supply critical elements of a comprehensive security strategy.

Yubico Delivers PIN Advancements With New YubiKey 5 Enhanced PIN Keys

Press Release – Yubico Yubico is committed to meeting the growing demand for phishing-resistant YubiKeys and enabling faster, more affordable delivery of keys to markets like the EU and APJ, where regulatory pressures for phishing-resistant authentication are intensifying. Yubico is today introducing the YubiKey 5 – Enhanced PIN, available exclusively via YubiKey as a Service, providing enterprises with seamless flexibility to roll out device-bound passkeys with impactful cost savings at scale to 175 countries and 24 territories. Pre-configured with the ability to deliver great PIN controls and user enforcement, the YubiKey 5 – Enhanced PIN features a minimum PIN length and an increase in overall PIN complexity. Customers now have the ability to easily meet policy and audit requirements, as well as evolving compliance and regulatory guidance for authentication, with an 'off-the-shelf' product. To prepare for continuously evolving cyber threats, governments around the world are adapting and updating authentication requirements for online services, which directly impact thousands of organisations and their employees. While there's currently no universal regulation for more robust multi-factor authentication (MFA), the need is highlighted across a range of requirements, including PSD2, GDPR, and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), emphasising the importance of ensuring cyber resilience against unauthorised access from credential phishing attacks. The cybersecurity industry agrees, with best practices leaning towards adoption of phishing-resistant MFA and some organisations requiring longer PINs (at least six characters) and PIN complexity on security keys for the most robust protection. Features are now available for the YubiKey 5 NFC and YubiKey 5C NFC models on the Enhanced PIN product via YubiKey as a Service, including: PIN Complexity turned on automatically Minimum PIN Length set to 6 characters Complete PIN control and user enforcement policies for all users via alwaysUV (always user verify) turned on by default Unique FIDO AAGUID to allow policy enforcement The added YubiKey 5 – Enhanced PIN keys offer the ability for organisations in these countries to be able to meet the latest authentication regulations and requirements, and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. Yubico is committed to meeting the growing demand for phishing-resistant YubiKeys and enabling faster, more affordable delivery of keys to markets like the EU and APJ, where regulatory pressures for phishing-resistant authentication are intensifying. To meet continued global demand for phishing-resistant YubiKeys and varying regional requirements, Yubico recently announced the expanded availability of YubiKey as a Service to all countries in the European Union (EU), as well as YubiEnterprise Delivery across 117 new locations around the world. Now totalling 199 locations (175 countries and 24 territories), Yubico has been able to double the existing delivery coverage of YubiKeys to both office-based and remote users. This new release follows the introduction of the YubiKey 5.7 firmware and the Security Key – Enterprise Edition last year, where PIN complexity has been an optional feature available on YubiKeys with firmware version 5.7 or later. These advancements allow organisations to be more agile and flexible in their adoption of phishing-resistant YubiKeys, and build upon the company's existing reach in markets such as the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia, India and the UK.
