At Uptycs, innovation is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions. The last month or two of 2024 have marked another significant stride in our journey, with enhancements designed to empower organizations to protect their cloud and endpoint environments more effectively. Recognized by leaders like James Berthoty of Latio Tech, our expertise in workload protection sets the industry standard.
This month, we’re spotlighting the transformative potential of our eBPF sensor technology, which turns runtime telemetry into actionable intelligence. By seamlessly integrating runtime data with advanced capabilities—such as risk prioritization, vulnerability management, threat detection, and automated response—Uptycs continues to redefine visibility and protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Here’s what’s new as of December:
1. Ask Uptycs Chat – Generative AI for Insightful Queries
Introducing our new ChatGPT-style interface, empowering teams to query Uptycs data using natural language. From uncovering vulnerabilities to analyzing software assets, simply ask questions in English and let Uptycs translate them into precise SQL queries. This feature, focused on vulnerabilities, asset management, and software catalogs, simplifies security investigations, turning complex data into actionable insights. Designed for intuitive use, it makes the power of Uptycs accessible to teams of all skill levels.
2. Unified Vulnerability Prioritization and Management
Uptycs revolutionizes vulnerability management with a unified approach that combines runtime insights with comprehensive asset metadata. We prioritize vulnerabilities by analyzing real-time factors like processes running as root, vulnerabilities loaded into memory, and known exploitable vulnerabilities (KEVs). Paired with package metadata and asset risk factors such as internet exposure, our prioritization engine ensures security teams focus on what truly matters. This streamlined, context-driven workflow reduces noise and enables faster, more effective remediation.
3. Endpoint Risk Prioritization
Expanding our unified risk prioritization to include endpoints, Uptycs delivers dynamic scoring for Mac, Windows, and Linux devices. Leveraging eBPF runtime telemetry, EDR data, attack path analysis, and user activity, we provide a rich context to assess endpoint risk alongside cloud and Kubernetes risks. This comprehensive, end-to-end approach enables teams to focus on critical threats while maintaining a holistic security posture.
4. Enhanced Cloud Discovery
Uptycs brings unmatched visibility to cloud environments with several new enhancements:
- Okta integration for user-level IAM insights, enabling tracking of permissions and roles for individual users.
- Identification of dormant principals to reduce unused permissions and strengthen security.
- Azure and GCP enhancements, including Zero Trust Scores and analysis of vulnerabilities loaded into memory, ensure a more secure multi-cloud environment. These updates help teams proactively harden their security posture while simplifying multi-cloud management.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into how these updates deliver unparalleled security insights, helping you stay ahead in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
