Hweb, do you remember CSPi's news release (from 2017) titled "CSPi Adds Technology Heavy Weights to Drive Growth of Cybersecurity Products"...?
This is from that release...
“Since joining CSPi, in 2016, we’ve been focused on building a security team, one with not only broad and deep experience in the security space, but also been on the leading edge of technology innovations,” said Gary Southwell, General Manager “With Tim and Joe in place, as well as the rest of the organization, we are poised to be successful in our mission of providing customers with solutions that will secure data no matter where it is located or how it is being used.”
With over 25 years of strategic business and security product planning, Gary Southwell brings a wealth of data privacy and compliance knowledge to CSPi. Gary is responsible for the development of advanced cyber-threat solutions designed to speed up breach identification while decreasing incident response time, as well as providing uncompromising data security no matter whether it is on premise or in the cloud.

Quite interesting to say the least...And these guys have been working on this for quite sometime!!!

Here is Seceon's version of this week's news...

Seceon aiSIEM™ Aims to Secure IoT Devices with CSPi ARIA SDS Solution

Integrates Seceon aiSIEM with CSPi’s ARIA SDS to Stop Cyberthreats While Allowing Critical Applications and Devices to Continue to Operate

Westford, Mass., June 11, 2019: Seceon, which pioneered the first fully-automated, real-time cyber threat detection, containment and elimination platform, today announced it has added CSPi to its growing list of strategic technology partners. The companies are combining Seceon’s aiSIEM with CSPi’s ARIA Software Defined Security (SDS) solution, offering enterprises and service providers a best-in-class solution for securing IoT devices by detecting and stopping cyber threats in real-time while allowing critical applications and devices to continue to operate.
The combined solution is immensely valuable especially when blocking all communication is possible but allowing the good communication while blocking the bad is critical if the endpoint in question must keep working. Such is the case with pace makers, insulin pumps, and other Industrial IoT devices, where stopping all communication from such devices could be life threatening. This is a huge benefit compared to the other remediation techniques that exist today[/ that either takes out the end point entirely, block all communication from it, or shuts down the critical applications with which it communicates.

“The challenge with that vast variety of IoT devices is multifold- first to identify them, then to decide what to allow them to communicate with, and most importantly how to insure they do no harm to the rest of the organization,” said Chandra Pandey, Founder and CEO of Seceon. “CSPi’s proven, innovative approach to protect IoT devices makes them an ideal partner for Seceon. The joint solution really shines with aiSIEM’s unique ability to take automatic action to stop the breaches once it detects them. Seceon can instruct CSPi’s ARIA SDS devices resident in-line in the network using advanced and open APIs to stop specific threat conversations.” He added, “Together, CSPi’s ARIA SDS solution and aiSIEM provides comprehensive cybersecurity by safeguarding digital assets, at a price enterprises and service providers can afford.”

Jeff Hewson, Director of Channel Operations at CSPi said, “We are extremely pleased to announce our partnership with Seceon. Enterprises today are struggling to protect IoT devices from the pace of growing and sophisticated cyberthreats.” He further added, “CSPi developed ARIA SDS, a comprehensive cybersecurity platform and applications, that allows IoT devices to be detected and monitored by looking through the network data as it flows in from such devices and also classifying the data on the fly without impacting its delivery. This allows monitoring for such devices in network aggregation points – typically one step back in the wireline network. Seceon’s aiSIEM is one of the best at detecting and stopping threats of all kinds and is key in the joint solution to stop the specific threat conversations without taking out the endpoint or blocking all communication with it.”
