Softprom and GREYCORTEX announce distribution agreement to deliver Advanced Network Detection and Response solutions.

Softprom, a leading Value-Added IT Distributor in Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, today announced a new distribution agreement with GREYCORTEX, a developer of advanced Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions.

This collaboration aims to enhance cybersecurity capabilities in the designated regions by providing businesses and organizations with robust tools for network visibility, threat detection, and incident response.

"Softprom is committed to increasing our customers' effectiveness by providing high-quality IT solutions and services, and our partnership with GREYCORTEX perfectly aligns with this mission," said Demyan Kalbazov, Business Development Manager at Softprom.

"GREYCORTEX Mendel’s advanced NDR capabilities, coupled with its ability to monitor both IT and OT environments, will be a critical asset for businesses in our regions facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats."

Key Benefits of the Partnership for the Region

• Comprehensive Network Visibility: GREYCORTEX Mendel provides deep visibility into entire monitored networks by analyzing mirrored traffic from backbone switches. It visualizes all devices, hosts, subnets, and services, offering detailed information about communication patterns, protocols, and data flow. This includes automatic identification of critical devices and systems like Active Directory and email servers.
• Advanced Threat Detection: Mendel uses a powerful combination of methods, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to detect both known and unknown threats. Its detection capabilities cover malware activity, attacker activity (such as scanning, brute-forcing, and exploitation), Command and Control (C&C) activity, and data exfiltration. It also identifies behavioral anomalies, security policy violations, and misconfigurations.
• Protection for IT and OT/ICS Networks: Mendel is designed to monitor and secure both IT and industrial (OT/SCADA/ICS) environments, supporting a wide range of industrial protocols from vendors like Siemens, ABB, and Honeywell. This is crucial for critical infrastructures and manufacturing industries in the region.
• Robust Incident Response and Forensics: The solution enables quick and effective response to threats through integration with existing security infrastructure, including SIEM, SOAR, XDR, firewalls, and Network Access Control (NAC) systems. Mendel also stores historical network communication data for months or years, facilitating detailed forensic analysis and investigation of security incidents.
• Streamlined Operations and Reduced Costs: By providing pre-configured rules and security settings, Mendel streamlines security detection and network analytics processes. It sends only critical events and filtered flow records to SIEMs, helping to reduce EPS costs. The intuitive user interface ensures ease of use for IT administrators, OT engineers, and cybersecurity teams.
