AWS rolls out 3 key security capabilities at re:Inforce, helping customers simplify and scale - Middle East Business News and Information
New tools will allow customers to better protect their digital assets, identify important security issues, defend against cyberattacks, and more. • AWS is introducing three new enhanced security services to help organizations better manage emerging threats in the gen AI era. • AWS Security Hub helps teams identify and address critical issues in one unified location. • AWS Shield's new proactive network security analysis makes it easier to spot and fix security gaps before attackers can exploit them. • Amazon GuardDuty enhances its Extended Threat Detection to container-based environments, identifying complex attack patterns that might otherwise go undetected. United Arab Emirates, Dubai,July 2025 – Amazon Web Services (AWS) unveiled a suite of new security capabilities at AWS re:Inforce, to help customers of all sizes strengthen their digital defenses. AWS re:Inforce, the company's annual cloud security conference, brings together security experts, partners, and builders from around the world to collaborate on addressing emerging security challenges in the generative AI era. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, AWS announced a dozen new capabilities today aiming to simplify security management while providing even more comprehensive protection. Here are three of those key services: AWS Security Hub: helping customers quickly spot and prioritize active threats to their systems AWS Security Hub helps customers identify their most critical security issues and respond quickly to reduce risks. It acts as a kind of 'security command center,' connecting the dots between different types of security alerts and vulnerabilities. This helps security teams quickly spot and prioritize active threats to their cloud systems. By bringing everything together into one place, Security Hub provides a clearer picture of an organization's security status while eliminating the need to manually gather information from multiple security tools. AWS Security Hub is available in preview to AWS customers starting today. AWS Shield: proactively protecting customers' online systems AWS Shield is enhancing how it protects websites and online applications by proactively finding network security configuration mistakes and weaknesses. The service now creates a map of customers' security resources, identifying vulnerabilities to common attacks like SQL injections (when hackers try to access data through website forms) and Distributed Denial-of-Service, or DDoS, attacks (when attackers overwhelm websites with fake traffic to make them crash). AWS Shield provides an easy-to-understand dashboard that highlights issues by severity, along with step-by-step instructions for fixing problems quickly. Customers can even use Amazon Q, the most capable generative AI-powered assistant for work, to get guidance through simple conversations, rather than navigating complex security settings. Amazon GuardDuty: launching Extended Threat Detection for container-based applications AWS announced expanded capabilities for Amazon GuardDuty Extended Threat Detection (XTD), which now protects container-based applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). GuardDuty connects various security signals across customers' systems to detect sophisticated attack patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. By monitoring EKS audit logs, runtime behavior, and AWS activity, GuardDuty can identify complex, multi-stage attacks. These improved detection capabilities allow security teams to spend less time investigating potential issues and more time addressing genuine threats, reducing the impact on business operations. Balancing AI innovation with safety concerns is within reach, but it requires unprecedented collaboration between governments and companies. As security challenges continue to evolve, AWS is committed to ensuring organizations stay ahead of potential risks. For example, AWS now has 100% multi-factor authentication enforcement for all root users across all types of AWS accounts. The new security capabilities announced today provide customers with deeper visibility, streamline security operations, and help protect their cloud environments more effectively. By building security capabilities that empower innovation and creating guardrails that give organizations the confidence to scale rapidly, AWS is helping customers build stronger security postures with less effort, allowing them to focus more resources on growth. About Amazon Web Services: Since 2006, Amazon Web Services has been the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud. AWS has been continually expanding its services to support virtually any workload, and it now has more than 240 fully featured services for compute, storage, databases, networking, analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, security, hybrid, media, and application development, deployment, and management from 114 Availability Zones within 36 geographic regions, with announced plans for 16 more Availability Zones and five more AWS Regions in Chile, New Zealand, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Millions of customers—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—trust AWS to power their infrastructure, become more agile, and lower costs. About Amazon: Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company, Earth's Best Employer, and Earth's Safest Place to Work. Customer reviews, 1-Click shopping, personalized recommendations, Prime, Fulfillment by Amazon, AWS, Kindle Direct Publishing, Kindle, Career Choice, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo, Alexa, Just Walk Out technology, Amazon Studios, and The Climate Pledge are some of the things pioneered by Amazon.

ESET helps MSPs by integrating with the Kaseya VSA X RMM solution - Middle East Business News and Information
ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of another major integration, this time, with the Kaseya VSA X remote monitoring and management (RMM) software. ESET has worked with MSPs for a long time, creating successful programs such as the ESET MSP Program, with subscription flexibility (pay only for what's in use, no flat rates, no long-term commitment), co-management (independent seat count adjustment and subscription management), or tier-based volume pricing (the more licenses sold, the better the unit price), among others. Thus, we understand the needs of our partners as well as their clients. Among these is an interest in running efficient workloads, cutting down on time spent in 'swivel chair' operations, and simplifying their use of multiple products, while not sacrificing on their security postures. Such results are only achievable through integrations, which ESET identifies as a key contemporary trend. As a partner- and channel-focused cybersecurity vendor, we understand this, and we develop and maintain support for all the most prevalent RMM and PSA tools out there, now joined by Kaseya VSA X, a leading RMM product. Thanks to this new integration, users of Kaseya VSA X can now also serve organizations that use ESET. In essence, it enables MSPs to deploy and manage ESET Endpoint products directly from within the Kaseya VSA X interface, so they can perform their necessary management actions without having to log in to a separate console. With support for additional workflows, MSPs can set up automatic actions for common scenarios. For instance, a workflow can be used to automatically deploy ESET to a freshly provisioned machine, or a workflow could be configured to provide a notification in case a threat is detected on an endpoint. Some other key features are: 'One Click' or automated deployment of ESET Endpoint products of ESET Endpoint products Monitoring of endpoint health (product, version, protection status) of endpoint health (product, version, protection status) On-demand tasks such as scanning and activation 'We've been working with MSPs for a very long time, and ESET is a favorite vendor among thousands of MSPs across the world,' said Rob Jones, Global Channel Business Developer at ESET. 'With the features provided through our new integration with Kaseya VSA X software, MSP administrators will unlock extensive benefits, such as simpler workflows, easier monitoring, as well as enhanced time savings. We know what MSPs need, and with this integration, we are directly addressing multiple pain points to make their businesses more efficient.' Version 1.0 of this integration will support Windows endpoints that are running ESET Endpoint Antivirus, Endpoint Security, or Server Security. ESET will be continuing its integration journey, so stay tuned for more updates in the future.
