• Net Health Marks Its Sixth Appearance and Highest Ranking Yet on Inc. 5000 List

  Published: Wednesday, October 7, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

  PITTSBURGH, Oct. 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net Health, the leader in software solutions for specialized outpatient care, was named by Inc. magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in America. Net Health exhibited a revenue growth of 237% and added 171 new jobs from 2011-2014.
  
  Net Health Chairman and CEO, Anthony Sanzo, explains why the company has enjoyed fertile ground for growth. "With our focus on specialized outpatient care, we're known for products and solutions that are perfectly fitted to our clients' needs, needs that are typically overlooked by the one-size-fits-all approach offered by large and entrenched healthcare information technology (HIT) vendors."
  
  Ranking #1712, Net Health claims its highest spot yet on the Inc. 5000, a list it has had the fortune of appearing on five previous years.
  
  According to Sanzo, the reason for this long-time showing on the list is that Net Health targets expansion into areas not well served by more generalized HIT solutions. "In the last three years Net Health grew from roughly 50 employees to nearly 250. Over the same period the scope of our clinical, administrative, and financial IT solutions expanded significantly—broadening the draw of our client base from one medical specialty market to the five now served: Hospital Employee Health, Occupational Medicine, Rehab Therapy, Urgent Care, and Wound Care."
  
  Net Health was recently named a Best Place to Work in Western Pennsylvania and has been recognized by Modern Healthcare magazine as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare, nationally. Sanzo speaks to corporate culture as a factor that sets the company apart. "We're committed to providing a workplace and culture that is a compelling differentiator. This serves us to continually attract and retain interesting and qualified team members."
  
  About Net Health

  Net Health is the leader in software solutions for specialized outpatient care.

• Varonis Extends FireEye Threat Analytics Platform to Protect File Data Before Cyber Attacks Materialize

  Published: Wednesday, October 7, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

  NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today announced the interoperability of its DatAdvantage and DatAlert solutions with the FireEye® Threat Analytics Platform™ (TAP™).

  The interoperable solutions from this new technology alliance will be showcased at the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit, taking place October 12-14 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC, and via a live webinar at 2:00 PM ET on October 28. (For more details see below, or click here.)

  Protecting the Most Valuable Data

  With the interoperability of Varonis and FireEye TAP, customers can now gain unprecedented intelligence in the realm of unstructured data. Organizations store massive quantities of this data – such as files, emails, spreadsheets, and presentations – and it comprises some of their most valuable and sensitive information assets. These assets are frequently exposed or stolen in high-profile breaches, either by insiders who abuse their access or by outsiders who compromise insiders' credentials. Varonis has helped thousands of customers protect their unstructured data, through analyzing user activity with files and emails, permissions and file system metadata, as well as file content.

  Gareth Maclachlan, FireEye Vice President Product Management said, "FireEye's Threat Analytics Platform accelerates detection and investigation of cyber-attacks by correlating events from a wide range of devices and locations and applying threat intelligence to pinpoint critical threats— including the hunt for threat indicators within unstructured data sources. By integrating with FireEye to identify anomalous data activity, Varonis is providing its customers with valuable insight into the security of their high value information."

  Users will now be able to easily send alerts from Varonis DatAdvantage and DatAlert into FireEye TAP, and begin identifying statistically unusual user behavior surrounding this data. Anomalous activity could include mass deletions and modifications, malware and ransomware infections like CryptoLocker and Cryptowall, privilege escalations, unusual access to PII, multiple failed login attempts, and many more potential warning signs. Installation of Varonis DatAdvantage and DatAlert can take as little as one hour, and connection to FireEye TAP is as simple as configuring an IP address.

  David Gibson, Varonis Vice President of Strategy and Market Development, said, "Hackers are getting better at their jobs, and therefore today's threat intelligence equation needs to combine several technologies. With the new interoperability, customers can combine critical security insight from FireEye with Varonis intelligence about their unstructured data – the type of data they typically have the most of and know the least about. Varonis and FireEye TAP can help organizations proactively spot the warning signs before they end up in the news because of a data breach."

  Live, Complimentary Webinar (October 28 at 2:00 PM ET): How Varonis and FireEye Have Joined Forces to Stop Insider Threats

  Join this webinar to learn:

  • Best practices to reduce potential exposure and prevent internal threats
  • How Varonis shows access to unstructured data across all platforms and recommends remediations
  • How Varonis DatAlert can detect:
    • Mass deletions and modifications
    • Malware and ransomware (Cryptolocker) that affects files or emails
    • Admin group changes and admin access to user data
    • Activity on sensitive data
  • How Varonis customers integrate with a SIEM and other UBA systems

• Proofpoint Essentials Adds Social Media Protection, Email Attachment Defense and Automated Email Encryption

  Published: Tuesday, October 6, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

  SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ:PFPT), a leading next-generation cybersecurity company, today announced the latest version of Proofpoint Essentials™ to protect how small and medium enterprises work today. Today's release features policy-based email encryption, protection against threats on corporate social media accounts and defense against attachment-based advanced threats.

  According to Proofpoint research, on average, a 150-employee company suffers a targeted attack once a month. The FBI's Criminal Investigative Division also recently indicated that cybercriminals use publicly available information and vulnerabilities in email systems to trick small businesses into wiring large sums of money into fraudulent bank accounts. From October 2013 through June 2015, companies around the world lost more than $1 billion as a result of such schemes, and this is just one of several types of highly successful cyberattacks using email as the entry point.

  "Proofpoint Essentials has completely transformed our cybersecurity posture, and we are confident we are doing everything possible to protect our employees, systems and customers from the array of increasingly malicious attacks," said Charles Hoots, Impac Services. "The solution was simple to deploy and has been very easy to maintain using our existing resources, minimizing the impact on our budget. Proofpoint Essentials gives us peace of mind."

  With cloud-based Proofpoint Essentials, all cyberattack protection capabilities are accessible through a single, easy-to-use interface. Three new capabilities released today include:

  • Social media account protection via continuous, real-time monitoring of corporate social media accounts with automated removal of unwanted posts (based on Proofpoint Nexgate's award-winning service).
  • Attachment defense to identify malicious content within email attachments using next-generation analysis and to prevent users from falling prey to attacks.
  • Automated email encryption of communications that contain sensitive data, enforcing data security policies and preventing inadvertent data loss.

  "Attacks against SMEs are just as common as those against large enterprises, but the consequences for smaller organizations can be more devastating," said Andres Kohn, general manager of Proofpoint Essentials.
