Uptycs provides a SaaS solution for IT system management, anomaly detection and incident response using an open-source universal agent residing on each host that reports infor- mation back to a robust analytics platform. The open-source agent, osquery, provided by Facebook is capable of exposing all system metrics across major operating systems as vir- tual SQL tables. Based on the power of SQL, the Uptycs solution provides native metrics and alerting for DevOps and Security and a platform for building in-depth IT workflows. This is ideal for workforces with limited resources that are juggling Security and DevOps by providing one destination for anomaly detection, system analytics, adversary hunting and analyst collaboration, all derived from real-time and historical data gathered by the osquery open-source agent.

Keys and certificates are the least understood domain in cyber security. There are 2 actors on a network, people and machines. People use user names and passwords to identify and get access to machines. Machines use keys and certificates to identify and get access each other and also to create “secure tunnels” (encryption) to communicate privately between themselves. Organizations are realizing that protecting keys and certificates is at least as important as protecting names and passwords, where billions have been invested. The prob- lem is continuing to grow as the number of machines is growing very fast, much faster than the number of people. Gartner says 50% of network attacks will use forged or stolen certifi- cates in 2017. Venafi is the inventor of the technology that secures and protects keys and certificates and many of the largest organizations in the world already use Venafi.
