Managed cybersecurity services provider BlueVoyant Inc. today announced the launch of its Cyber Defense Platform, a new service that integrates internal, supply chain, and external defense solutions into a single, cloud-native platform focused on measuring and strengthening cyber defense posture.

The new service seeks to address the issue wherein the mission of security operations teams has expanded from protecting the organization’s internal networks to also dealing with external threats from supply chain vendors, digital fraudsters and the dark web. BlueVoyant argues that before now, the only way to tackle the spectrum of threats has been with multiple point solutions that introduce complexity in management and provide a fragmented view of cyber posture. This is where the company’s new Cyber Defense Platform steps in.

It offers artificial intelligence-powered security operations across an enterprise’s entire attack surface. The service processes data and alerts from internal networks, supply chains and the clear, deep and dark web to assist with scalability, productivity and an enterprise’s cyber risk posture.

The platform’s offerings include managed extended detection and response, which boosts network defenses across the security stack, ranging from endpoints and cloud environments to security information and event management systems. The service also offers supply chain defense to manage risks from third-party suppliers and vendors and Digital Risk Protection to address external cyberthreats such as brand impersonation, phishing and data theft.

In addition, the platform also takes a proactive stance with services including vulnerability management, external attack surface management, penetration testing, phishing awareness training and dark web threat research. BlueVoyant’s proactive defense is complemented by cyber posture management, which employs the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cyber Security Framework to assess, manage and enhance the security posture of organizations continuously to diminish the threat of cyber risks.

“We understand the escalating demands that security operations teams face in detecting and responding to threats swiftly,” said co-founder and Chief Executive James Rosenthal. “Our platform harnesses the power of AI to respond to those challenges with next-generation security operations across the entire attack surface. The result is improved scalability, enhanced productivity and a stronger cyber risk posture, all based on cutting-edge technology.”

BlueVoyant is a venture capital-backed startup that has raised $696 million in funding, including a round of $250 million on a valuation of more than $1 billion in 2022. Investors in the company include Liberty Strategic Capital LP, ISTARI Global Ltd., Eden Global Partners LLC and 8VC Partners LLC.
