We are a week away from the official start of summer and
things could not be going better here at Red Sky and Wapack Labs. This week we
had the entire team from both the Wapack Labs and the Red Sky side in the
office in Manchester, NH. This facilitated as both a meet and greet and as a
“hive mind” to share ideas. This experience was wonderful and really let loose
the creative energies of the whole team. Having such bright and driven people
collaborating and creating great work product is both inspiring and satisfying
when you can look back and see all your hard work pay off.
This week Red Sky Alliance saw a great milestone with our 50th
fusion product. This consists of roughly 1000 pages of technical APT analytics
covering 11 known and emerging threats. Along with the great analytic work that
is being done here at Red Sky, we are also seeing steady growth in the
membership. The new members we are bringing on help expand the information
gathering and bring different types of industries to the table.
Also in the office this week were some of our interns that
are participating in the Red Sky Institute. Our analysts are working hand in
hand with these intelligent and aspiring individuals to show them the ropes of
the Infosec world. The interns are eager to learn and have jumped in head first
trying to learn as much as possible from our world class analysts. With their
core academics from their respective Universities combined with Red Sky know
how, it won’t be long before they are getting their hands dirty and shedding
light into the darkest corners of the deep web.
Wapack Labs is also seeing some great strides in our
products and analytics. Along with our current forensic and incident response
investigations, we are also developing our Socrates security product. This
product will be a turn-key solution for small businesses that are worried about
network security –APT, targeted event, etc., as well as PCI and HIPAA
compliance. The idea is that using this very lightweight MSSP model, Red Sky
can test information gathered from the customers networks for the presence of
what Mandiant likes to call evil, while at the same time broadening the ability
to capture new data from this largely ignored business segment. We’re starting
in New England and for those small businesses this is a great way to get big
company protection using enterprise tools and an expert analytic capability at
a small business price. This security platform is perfect for anyone accepting
credit card information, we specialize in protecting patient information in
your doctor office or client information with insurance companies and many,
many more.
