GREYCORTEX WINS IN POLAND

The success continues for GREYCORTEX. This time, the team was first overall at the Pitch Competition at the 3rd Annual European Cybersecurity Forum held in Krakow, Poland on October 10th and 11th, 2017. The event featured cybersecurity-focused speakers from government and industry across Europe, as well as several from North America.
The Pitch Competition, held on Monday afternoon, as part of the Forum, featured 16 companies from Central and Eastern Europe. As winners, GREYCORTEX received the chance to present MENDEL on the main conference stage to a full audience. The pitch presentation itself focused on the overall costs of data breach – not only in data loss – but in lost business reputation, opportunity, and brand value, demonstrating GREYCORTEX MENDEL’s ability to detect advanced persistent threats in the network, as well as it’s founding – with generous support from YSoft Ventures – and its membership in the ESET Technology Alliance.

MENDEL 2.8 RELEASED

We are happy to announce the latest version of GREYCORTEX MENDEL. Version 2.8 includes three new important features: the first is the Event Collector. Released as part of v2.7 (a limited release), the Event Collector offers the opportunity to centrally monitor events from several remote GREYCORTEX MENDEL collectors.

This tool correlates individual, less-serious events – which together may be indicative of attacks within the network, to more effectively alert security analysts. Finally, MENDEL 2.8 includes proxy pairing functionality which identifies source or destination addresses hidden by proxy servers, which will allow security analysts to better identify potential issues on the network and provide even greater visibility.
