4. Crogl launches with new risk management knowledge engine: Cybersecurity risk management startup
Crogl launched today, and released its new knowledge engine. Crogl founders Monzy Merza (CEO) and David Dorsey (CTO) have worked at Sandia National Laboratory, Splunk and Databricks in the past. Crogl’s knowledge engine continuously learns an organization's operational security processes and data to quickly investigate alerts consistently and with auditable actions. Unlike traditional security tools, it does not require schema normalization, coding or playbook creation; instead, it executes thorough investigations and detailed documentation while allowing customers to maintain complete data sovereignty.
5. NordStellar launches cybersquatting detection: Threat exposure management platform
NordStellar this week launched a new AI-powered cybersquatting detection feature. Domain squatting techniques are often a precursor to phishing, malware distribution, or hosting fraudulent content, which can result in significant reputational damage for the brand and monetary losses for its customers. The new feature automatically detects cybersquatting cases and alerts businesses so they can shut the squatters down.
