Symantec, Palo Alto Lead the Way with Hot New Products, Services
Cybersecurity is a big focus in our wrap-up of new products and services.

Palo Alto went for the AI gold in February with three security-focused artificial intelligence advancements.
Cortex, an open and integrated, AI-based continuous security platform, allows security operations teams to speed the analysis of massive data sets. Cortex XDR is a detection, investigation and response product that natively integrates network, endpoint and cloud data. And its updated Traps endpoint protection and response platform now includes a Behavioral Threat Protection engine that stops advanced threats in real time by stitching together a chain of events to identify malicious activity.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation says that business email compromise (BEC) attacks have grown over 136 percent over the past two years. To help combat this, Symantec launched a new automated solution to protect enterprises from fraudulent emails. The creatively named Email Fraud Protection automates email authentication standards including SPF, DKIM or DMARC, and monitors approved third-party senders.
Kubernetes is the name of the channel game these days, and machine-learning operations (MLOps) provider ParallelM updated its MCenter platform with REST-based serving using Kubernetes to create a no-code, autoscaling infrastructure for model serving supporting the leading modeling frameworks.
The company says the updated platform allows data scientists to quickly create robust autoscaling REST services for their machine-learning models to better server real-time applications in the cloud or on premises.
PanTerra Networks is adding the popular Yealink line of IP phones to its hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) portfolio program, which gives new customers a low-cost rental option on equipment used with its Streams cloud service. PanTerra says that its customers employing HaaS also have the option to upgrade their equipment yearly to take advantage of new technology and extend the warranty of their devices.
Following its acquisition of SecurityMatters, Forescout announced a new unified device visibility and control platform, what it calls an industry first product.
Designed for IT and operational technology (OT) security, Forescout says the new platform gives comprehensive visibility for multicloud infrastructures, provides superior auto-classification for medical and industrial devices, and automates network segmentation controls across firewalls, as well as cloud and software-defined network (SDN) environments.
The world of business (and everything else) runs on data analytics, and the latest data lakes accelerator from GigaSpaces promises to acceleratee applications for faster real-time analytics. Combined with machine learning and deep-learning capabilities, the company says there is a wide range of use cases for the product in different verticals such as predictive maintenance (manufacturing), live risk analysis (stocks), fraud detection (financial), location based advertising (media), dynamic pricing (e-commerce).
Every year, the technology that supports support bots and virtual agents gets more and more advanced.
Consolidated Communications last month released a cloud-based, intelligent automation solution that it says enables businesses of all sizes to automate many of the routine and repetitive conversations handled by live agents. It has natural-language processing for more than 100 languages; can handle multiple inbound call tasks such as setting appointments and looking up orders; and even makes outbound calls.
Listen up, MSSPs: SecBI is talking directly to you.
At RSA 2019, the company launched an automated threat detection and response solution designed to help managed security service providers (MSSPs) maximize their productivity and scalability. The SecBI MSSP offering automates both threat hunting and breach response. It creates a comprehensive view of each cyberincident by combining disparate alerts, events, and logs into a single narrative that shows all the affected entities and kill chain. Finally, the solution delivers gap analysis that identifies network security blind spots and implements fixes.
Network monitoring and management provider Auvik isn’t going to be left behind its competitors when it comes to open integrations.
Last month, it launched integrations with four popular MSP tools: BrightGauge, IT Glue, Passportal, and Warranty Master, allowing MSPs to store all client device data in one consolidated location to save time. The company says MSPs can add more detail and accuracy to device inventories stored in IT Glue and Passportal, network infrastructure biodata in Warranty Master, and reporting in BrightGauge.
The integrations are courtesy of the new Auvik API, which its partners can use to build their own integrations.

The past month brought managed service providers, resellers and systems integrators a slew of new products to beef up their portfolios. Big names like Palo Alto Networks and Symantec announced new or upgraded products, but plenty of up-and-comers added their voices to the mix.
Unsurprisingly, security dominates recent product and service debuts as many providers prepared to showcase them at RSA Conference. From security-awareness training to patch management to managed detection and response marketed directly to MSSPs, managed security continues to dominate the hearts and minds of the channel.
But it isn’t all phishing and privilege management. We’ve got data-lake accelerators, Kubernetes-based machine learning and some hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) developments. Scroll through the gallery above to see products and services you might have missed.
