Revolutionizing Endpoint Security For Air-Gapped Networks

Securing systems that cannot connect to the public Internet creates unique challenges often beyond the reach of traditional security appliances. Cybereason On-Prem delivers advanced protection and seamless integration to address these gaps. In an exclusive interview with CRNtv, Steve McNamara, SVP of Americas, and Greg Day, VP and global field CISO at Cybereason, discuss the intricacies of securing systems that are disconnected from the public internet, along with the opportunities for partners in this growing market.

What unique challenges do organizations face when securing systems that cannot connect to the public internet?

Greg: The primary challenge is understanding the reasons behind the lack of internet connectivity. It's often driven by legislative requirements to ensure data remains within a certain jurisdiction or is protected against unauthorized access. These isolated systems frequently rely on older technology, creating significant security gaps because they're running outdated and unsupported software.

How does Cybereason On-Prem address these challenges?

Steve: Cybereason On-Prem rethinks these challenges by using containerized environments to recreate cloud-based security capabilities in an on-premises setting. This allows organizations to maintain a high standard of security without being bound by specific hardware limitations, facilitating real-time threat analysis.

How does Cybereason's Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) enhance security in such environments?

Greg: The EDR capabilities build on endpoint prevention by ensuring any threats that bypass initial defenses are quickly detected and addressed. This integration is crucial for maintaining a comprehensive security posture, especially in environments with limited connectivity.

How does Cybereason's partner program support high profitability and margins?

Steve: We've designed our partner program with a focus on protecting margins. By structuring partner relationships according to tier levels, we ensure that value is consistent across opportunities, making it easier and more beneficial for partners to work with us.
