Syxsense Announces Broad Availability of Over 100 Prebuilt Workflows

Syxsense announced that its Syxsense Cortex Remediation Workflow Library surpassed 100 workflows that address many active vulnerabilities.

More than 100 Remediation Workflows Now Available

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announced today that their Syxsense Cortex Remediation Workflow Library has surpassed 100 workflows that address many dangerous vulnerabilities active in the wild. Syxsense also announced the publication of the industry’s most extensive online library of security solutions. While many published remediations are complex, requiring advanced scripting skills, Syxsense Cortex simplifies and automates the remediation process.

Announced this year at Black Hat in Las Vegas, the newly released version of Syxsense Cortex allows Syxsense’s team of vulnerability experts to provide pre-built remediation workflows to customers of Syxsense Secure. Syxsense’s security experts build workflows using Syxsense Cortex, and then provide the workflows to customers. The customer’s own security team simply reviews the workflow and approves for deployment, and Syxsense Secure does the rest.

Research published by Dark Reading shows that a full 60 percent of breaches in the past two years come from unpatched vulnerabilities. Customers indicate that the challenges in building and testing remediation scripts is a key obstacle to patching and vulnerability remediation. By providing pre-built and pre-tested workflows, Syxsense hopes to remove this barrier. Our customers also indicate that the complexity of using scripting languages to build remediation raises the level of training required for effective remediation to unacceptable levels.

Syxsense Cortex uses a simple to learn and easy to use drag-and-drop interface to build workflows. Users simply drag “tiles” of actions onto the screen and drag directional lines between them to set the workflow. Early indications are that vulnerability eradication levels nearly double when Syxsense Cortex is used, due to the powerful simplicity of the interface.

“Syxsense is fortunate to have a large team of security experts discovering, diagnosing and developing the solution to a large number of active end user threats,” said Ashley Leonard, Syxsense CEO. “The power of Syxsense Cortex has become evident, as our team use the drag-and-drop interface to build the remediation, then users can use the same simple process to review, personalize if necessary, and approve the remediation.”

Syxsense Cortex is included with Syxsense Secure at no additional cost. Syxsense is offering free, fully-featured trials for up to 100 devices for 14 days. More information on the software and trial can be found here.

Syxsense Workflows Automate Response to Critical IT Infrastructure Disruptions

By Press Release

Syxsense Workflows Automate Response to Critical IT Infrastructure Disruptions

Syxsense announced the ability to automatically respond to critical IT infrastructure disruptions with customizable workflow status checks.

Syxsense Now Offers Powerful Remediation with Automated Workflows

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutionsa leader in managing and securing endpoints, announced today the ability to automatically respond to critical IT infrastructure disruptions. Syxsense adds customizable workflow status checks and controls for services, databases, websites, events, and servers. Within the workflow, monitor that there are no data disruptions, alert that your website is non-responsive, restart and repair windows services and events.  

Use the web monitor action to watch for and respond to website outages to help guarantee that a customer’s experience, from first click to purchase, is a positive one. Set downtime checks as frequently as every 30 seconds, if your site is non-responsive you will immediately receive notification. Completely customizable, workflows can automate the restart of necessary services, responding and fixing the problem with no manual intervention and limited downtime. With a variety of web action checks (delete, get, head, post, put, trace), interact with any web service or web API for transaction monitoring and avoid technical outages at the point of purchase. Checks run from any number of locations for worldwide redundancy, know that customers from Asia to Europe are getting similar response times. 

Syxsense also extends its’ automation workflow library with logic action pairs to verify uptime and reboot servers; check the state of windows events and services then start or stop them, and finally monitor the responsiveness of SQL databases to initiate repair. 

In the instance of PrintNightmare, the patch Microsoft released only fixed half of the problem. IT admins still had to disable the print spooler service by hand. The Syxsense Cortext workflow is able to disable or enable a specific windows feature, saving time and securing the environment. 

Syxsense Cortex is a visual drag and drop designer that easily automates complex actions directly on the endpoint, only available in Syxsense Secure.

“With this release, customers are to detect and resolve critical infrastructure disruptions in live-time,” emphasized Ashley Leonard, CEO of Syxsense. “Syxsense Secure fits seamlessly into the existing infrastructure and routines for automated security and patch remediation.”

Syxsense Cortex is included with Syxsense Secure at no additional cost. Syxsense is offering free, fully-featured trials for up to 100 devices for 14 days. More information on the software and trial can be found here.

Syxsense Releases Two New Solutions

By Press Release

Syxsense Releases Two New Solutions for Remediating Endpoint Security Vulnerabilities

Syxsense announced two new solutions built to facilitate the remediation of the current rash of malware at the Black Hat 2021 conference.

Syxsense Now Offers Powerful Remediation with Automated Workflows

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announced today at the Black Hat conference the release of two new solutions built to facilitate the remediation of the current rash of malware.

Syxsense Secure now includes the ability to scan, report and remediate security vulnerabilities with a single workflow. Traditional security scanners identify possible attack surfaces, but rarely offer a solution to immediately close the threat vector. Patch Management solutions resolve OS vulnerabilities but leave the more complex security vulnerabilities untouched. Using either solution alone blindly completes only half the job and leaves businesses open to a breach.

“While threat and misconfiguration detection is critical in today’s IT environment, on their own they’re no better than watching the approach of a speeding train,” said Ashley Leonard, Syxsense founder and CEO.  “With Syxsense Secure you can immediately remediate the threat, in essence, avoiding the train’s path entirely.”

Syxsense Secure leverages the drag-and-drop workflow capability of Syxsense Cortex v2, also announced and available today. Syxsense Cortex v2 is a visual drag and drop designer that easily automates complex actions directly on the endpoint. Cortex-enabled “intelligent endpoints” respond in real time when changes or missing configurations are detected. Among thousands of uses, existing Syxsense Secure customers use Syxsense Cortex to easily solve previously complex routines like VM Host Patching, multistage server patching and device monitoring.

Syxsense’s intelligent tools detect and report vulnerabilities in a full spectrum of security families including Crypto Mining, Firewalls, Antivirus, Backdoors, Port Scanners, PTP, Social Networking, Windows Policies and more.

“With these releases, Syxsense Cortex and Syxsense Secure work together as a powerful one-two combo to detect and resolve security issues in live-time,” emphasized Leonard. “The two fit seamlessly into the existing infrastructure and routines for automated security and patch remediation.”

Syxsense Cortex is included with Syxsense Secure at no additional cost. Syxsense is offering free, fully-featured trials for up to 100 devices for 14 days. More information on the software and trial can be found here.

Syxsense Extends Enterprise Integration with Secure API

By Press Release

Syxsense Extends Enterprise Integration with Secure API

Syxsense has announced the release of its open API to integrate between Syxsense Secure and other enterprise security and IT solutions.

Syxsense Announces Open API

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announces the release of their Open API to easily integrate and share data between Syxsense Secure and other enterprise Security and IT solutions. The new REST API extends the robust Syxsense Inventory data.

Along with OS, Program, Device Health, Network configuration and more, Syxsense API exports and imports data so that systems interact efficiently. The core of the Syxsense API is flexible communication and display of information between the cloud native Syxsense and any essential business solutions like a Helpdesk or Asset Management application. By making data reusable natively, Syxsense extends its system to partners, large enterprises, MSPs and MSSPs.

The API includes full documentation of API calls with examples at https://api.syxsense.io/index.html and is available to Admin users of Syxsense Secure. Admins generate a secure API Access Token. Unique to each user, the token may be revoked or regenerated at any time. Tokens can be locked to specific IP addresses and attempted communication from another source will be blocked. As always, your data remains secure in your private instance of Microsoft Azure. Both GET and PUT operations are supported. You may extract any combination of device data you need from any device or range of devices. Data imported to Syxsense from other applications is automatically stored in an individual devices’ custom field(s).

A native cloud solution, Syxsense, modernizes on-premise solutions by centralizing enterprise data in a single cloud console accessible from anywhere. Now, by using the API to centralized data and leveraging Syxsense Cortex, managers may automate responses to security incidents faster and manage IT more reliably.

The secure API feature is included with Syxsense Secure at no additional cost. Syxsense is offering free, fully-featured trials for up to 100 devices for 14 days. More information on the software and trial can be found here.

Syxsense Releases New RMM Solution for MSP and MSSPs

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announced today the release of a powerful remote monitoring and management solution. Syxsense increases recurring revenue for MSP and MSSPs by automating IT management, offering comprehensive patch management, and fullsecurity vulnerability scanning and remediation.  Enhance your managed service without incurring the cost of building a solution from scratch.

  • Efficiently distribute workloads amongst your staff: Grant various levels of security access to best leverage your staff. Each user may have multiple Roles (what you can do) and Scopes (where you can do it)
  • Onboard with ease:  Quickly, within minutes, add and immediately begin managing new nodes and new customers
  • Full-service IT professional: White Label branding adds the full management suite of functionality with your own logos and branding. Syxsense is polished and presented as a natural extension of your current offering

  • Reuse Work: Syxsense objects like Cortex Workflows, Policies, Maintenance Windows, queries, tasks and more can be reused across multiple customers to reduce risk, increase efficiency and secure your clients infrastructure

Syxsense’s robust feature set delivers MSPs the most comprehensive solution to manage and secure clients: automated policies, full RMM, OS and 3rd party patching, security scans, remote access, alert triggers with automated response, software deployment, and more.

A globally available and cloud native solution, Syxsense gives complete visibility of your client assets from a single secure console.  Syxsense Security Contexts combine a lock down of both access rights (roles) and device visibility (scope).  With an unlimited combination of security contexts, employees who have been granted access move swiftly between customers, sharing and reusing work while customer data remains completely siloed. Rest assured your staff will only act how and where you want them to, and that management’s overall picture of the business is complete.

Server and Device Monitoring Now Available

Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, today announced the availability of Server and Device Monitoring for Syxsense Secure customers. As part of its Syxsense Cortex technology of logic, approvals and actions, Syxsense Secure offers workflows to monitor the CPU, RAM and Diskspace Usage on any devices managed within an organization. Designed to pinpoint issues and identify potential downtime, Cortex’s customizable drag and drop user interface provides actions to alert and remediate without complex scripting.

Syxsense Secure allows IT departments to set health monitoring thresholds that alert on CPU, RAM or Disk Space usage spikes, or look for sustained peaks over an evaluation period. Once published as a policy, the Health Threshold Job constantly monitors for relevant changes. With granular control over the percentage and duration of usage, each stage may trigger new actions in a defined escalation path. First tier may trigger alerts and send out emails with details of the problem.

After alerting, a next stage can automatically restart processes or services, and safely verify they are back up and running. Automatically clear disk space by choosing from a variety temporary files and directories in the “Disk Cleanup” Job step. By inserting an approval step, server management teams may pause any action until the corrective steps are reviewed. Actions can then be triggered or deferred from the Syxsense console on any web browser.

Designed to leverage industry expertise, and be available for instant distribution, Cortex Jobs automate previously complex IT and security tasks with pre-created templates that control and monitor progress through a series of clear, concise steps to identify, evaluate and remediate problems.
