OnDefend Expands BlindSPOT to Deliver Continuous Threat Detection and Response Validation
Delivering security leaders the operational assurance and visibility they need between penetration tests. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OnDefend, a leader in proactive cybersecurity control validation, has announced two new feature sets within BlindSPOT™, its breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform: Threat Detection Validation and Threat Response Validation. These capabilities allow organizations to continuously test whether their detection tools—like Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)—and their internal Security Operations Center (SOC) team and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers are performing as expected in real-world scenarios. BlindSPOT simulations map to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and measure mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to respond (MTTR), and vendor service-level agreement (SLA) adherence. The platform also includes real-time alert monitoring, escalation path validation, and immediate failure notifications—helping teams catch breakdowns before attackers do. "Security leaders told us they didn't just want to pass compliance—they wanted proof their investments were protecting them," said Chris Freedman, CEO and Co-Founder of OnDefend. "BlindSPOT now gives them continuous validation that detection tools and response teams are delivering as expected." These new features complement penetration testing, which remains essential for identifying perimeter vulnerabilities. While pentests reveal if attackers can get in, BlindSPOT validates what happens next—whether alerts trigger and teams respond. "Penetration testing is like checking your home window and door locks," said Freedman. "But it doesn't tell you if your alarms notify response teams. BlindSPOT continuously tests detection and response capabilities to prove your organization is protected. If your home provider did that daily, wouldn't you sleep better at night?" To reduce complexity, OnDefend also offers BlindSPOT as a fully managed service—delivering BAS-level outcomes without needing to purchase software, build red/purple teams, or manage ongoing simulation content. Whether self-managed as a SaaS platform or delivered as a service, BlindSPOT provides measurable assurance that detection and response investments are working as intended—and delivering meaningful return on investment.

Marlink supports Simon Møkster Shipping's fleet with Starlink
Simon Møkster Shipping's fleet is being supported with flexible allocation of pooled Starlink Low Earth Orbit (LEO) bandwidth by Marlink. The transition to a pooled bandwidth model is part of Simon Møkster Shipping's broader digitalisation programme. According to Marlink, the pooling of bandwidth between vessels within the same fleet allows for capacity to be allocated to assets based on deployment needs. Additionally, the pooled model provides 'baseline flexibility' to utilise 'best-effort' LEO internet for crew welfare services while ensuring 'guaranteed' bandwidth through VSAT for business applications. Marlink maritime president Tore Morten Olsen said: 'At Marlink, we're committed to enabling vessel operators like Simon Møkster Shipping to turn complex connectivity challenges into opportunities—wherever they operate. By pooling bandwidth across the fleet, they gain the flexibility to adapt in real time to operational and locational needs, unlocking new levels of efficiency, agility, and performance.' Simon Møkster Shipping, headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, is a provider of support vessels to the offshore energy sector. With a fleet of 15 vessels operating primarily in the North and Barents Seas, the company employs around 500 individuals onshore and offshore. Simon Møkster Shipping ICT manager Terje Gjerde said: 'Simon Møkster Shipping accelerates our digital journey with a new level of flexibility and efficiency offered by the Starlink pooled bandwidth model. With Marlink as our trusted partner, we're not just staying connected, we're gaining the digital edge we need to stay ahead in a highly competitive market.' Under Simon Møkster Shipping's broader digitlaisation programme, Marlink completed a fleet-wide upgrade with its Sealink NextGen hybrid network solution in May 2024. The Sealink NextGen solution includes Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) cyber solutions as standard features, in view of the increased cyber risks associated with LEO internet solutions. Recently, Marlink released its Security Operations Centre (SOC) report from the second half of 2024, which highlighted the growing sophistication of cyber threats targeting maritime users. Marlink's SOC report revealed that cybercriminals have been enhancing their attack capabilities by incorporating new technologies and refining their strategies. Over a six-month period leading up to December 2024, Marlink's global SOC network observed security activities on 1,998 merchant and leisure vessels, recording nine billion security events and 39 billion firewall events.
