General Availability (GA) Announcement - Confluera Autonomous Detection & Response Platform Release 1.0

Confluera Inc., the real-time cybersecurity company, today announced the General Availability of Confluera 1.0, the industry's first Autonomous Detection & Response platform to deterministically detect and stop attackers navigating your infrastructure.

In spite of aggregate spending exceeding $33 billion on network & infrastructure security, 77% enterprises are anticipating a critical infrastructure breach in the near future. Security teams around the world are struggling to defend their organizations as the current security paradigm revolves around remediating data breaches post-damage. The Confluera platform ushers cyber defenders into the new era of attack interception by allowing:

1. Complete Cyber Kill Chain Tracking, and not just individual detections that lead to alert fatigue plaguing almost every enterprise security operations center

2. Deterministic and Continuous Storyboarding of cyber attacks as they progress through the enterprise infrastructure, as opposed to manual investigations based on correlational analysis of security events

3. Immediate Response capabilities to stop attackers before they infiltrate the critical enterprise assets as opposed to post-facto analysis of a data breach.

The Confluera platform delivers easy to understand attack campaign stories in the form of attack progressions that are prioritized automatically based on associated risk scores, along with suggestions for response and remediation, which are fully actionable. The stories themselves contain the sequence of tactics and techniques (refer to MITRE ATT&CK) used by the adversaries in order to gain deeper and wider access to the enterprise infrastructure. This marks the beginning of an era in cybersecurity space where manual threat hunting and correlations are replaced by deterministic and autonomous tracking of the attacker's intent and progress.

The Confluera platform is underpinned by patent-pending 'Continuous Attack Graph' technology to identify an attack progression in real-time. The technology allows for causal sequencing of attacker's activities in real-time and eliminates the correlational guesswork that is typical of solutions based on searching through event data lakes. These attack sequences are scored and ranked to conclusively intercept ongoing attacks.

"No matter how much automation is applied to identify attacks via data lake strategies, the fact remains that such analyses result in providing visibility into what an attacker has done, and not what he/she is doing, thereby eliminating any possibility of intercepting the attack" says Confluera VP of Products, Gautam Agrawal. "We are fundamentally shifting the focus of security teams towards interception and defense, as opposed to post-breach remediation". Read related news here.

To learn more about the benefits of Autonomous Detection and Response, please read our announcement blog, and sign up for a personalized demo on our website.

About Confluera Inc:
Confluera's mission is to redefine the security paradigm by introducing autonomous detection and response capabilities to deal with modern cyberattacks. Confluera aims to turn security analysts into cyber defenders by enabling them to stop breaches in their tracks. Confluera is Co-Founded by Abhijit Ghosh, Niloy Mukherjee, and Bipul Sinha. Ghosh is the CEO and has a background in networking, security and real-time systems, Mukherjee is the Chief Architect and has a background in distributed computing, operational analytics, and artificial intelligence, and Sinha is the Co-Founder & CEO of Rubrik.

MotorGospel Ministries Receives Coveted Guidestar Platinum Seal

"Since giving up a six-figure rocket scientist's salary to devote full time to the ministry, I have worked many 20 hour days on 4 hours sleep" says Aaron Schwartzbart, founder, president and pastor of MotorGospel Ministries. "I and my colleagues were highly-educated and well taken care of in the space program but I was never sure of whether I was doing any good for mankind. Now I work for free in my tiny office lined with pictures of lives that have been touched or possibly even saved by MotorGospel Ministries. I no longer doubt whether I am benefiting mankind. It ain't rocket science but it is probably the most important contribution I will make in my lifetime."

Schwartzbart founded MotorGospel Ministries in 2001 but was a self-described "amateur minister" until he left the day job in 2012. The ministry has both Christian activities and non-religious benevolent activities such as the unique anti-street-racing campaign that MotorGospel operates in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, the courts and Los Angeles City Councilmember John Lee. The anti-street-racing campaign features a variety of elements such as after-school auto shop and legal 150 MPH driving instruction at racetracks throughout Southern California. With degrees in physics and theology, Schwartzbart is a 4-time champion race car driver and an ordained minister. He has personally coached over 100 students one-on-one at the track and reached millions with the anti-street-racing message via print, broadcast and social media. Read latest news here.

The tiny ministry is also unique in that they never ask for donations and they have no paid employees. Plenty of people do donate spontaneously and the ministry puts the donations to good use, but they never ask. Schwartzbart's model for charity is to extend a hand to the needy, not to donors.

So it is ironic that MotorGospel Ministries (EIN 46-4682864) has received the Guidestar Platinum Seal. Guidestar lists approximately 1.8 million charities. Many of them have highly-compensated executives and lavish fundraisers. By focusing on charitable work instead of bureaucracy and fundraising, MotorGospel Ministries has received the Guidestar Platinum Seal. This puts the tiny ministry in the top 1/2 of one percent of Guidestar's 1.8 million charities in terms of trustworthiness and transparency. (see https://www.guidestar.org/profile/46-4682864)

Real Food Blends customers from across the country shared their stories for the Holiday Magic campaign, including Glen, a cancer survivor in California who was able to return to his love of hiking and traveling after switching to Real Food Blends, and Brittany in Kansas whose daughter went from sleeping most of the time to smiling and being more active with the help of RFB meals.

"Real Food Blends was originally inspired by our son, AJ, who has had a feeding tube for more than 8 years, but now it's stories from our customers from coast-to-coast that continue to inspire us," said Julie Bombacino, Co- Founder and CEO of Real Food Blends.

Independent Recording Artist and Producer Sam Elliott (The IIIrd) Releases First Single "Thank You"

Louisville native and veteran music producer Sam Elliott – a.k.a The IIIrd – has released his brilliant debut single "Thank You." Be alert to the latest news.

Record producer Sam Elliott is finding that speaking the truth is the antidote to life's struggles. His brand new single, "Thank You," is a stark reminder of the ease at which distrust and unfaithfulness can find its way into the strongest relationships. The IIIrd sings, "Even though when times get rough, I never turned away. I was right there,'' we are given a front-row seat for one couple's realization that their relationship is irreparable. With a cameo by the University of Louisville anthem kingpin, BSIMM, this track takes the listener along for a soulful and multi-layered ride of unwavering love, pain, and ultimate heartbreak.

His continuing journey of artistry modeled after pure genuine connection and soulful R&B music is a vehemently earnest testimony to his strength as an artist and the song's message – one which will continue to resonate with his fan base, encouraged by his multifarious range of talents.

Speaking about the track, Elliott says: "I don't care if it's heartbreak if it's love, even a terrible event. It needs to be spoken about. My music won't be for everybody, but many will love it because it's simply good music. My music will be a pure reflection of me, filled with a mixture of blues, hip hop, and R&B."

Listen to "Thank You" here.

About The IIIrd:

Born and raised in the West End of Louisville, Sam Elliott began playing music when he was just six years old. He moved on to study Music Theory and became a fan of orchestral music. As a youth, Elliott embraced solitude, opting to spend his days reading, writing, and learning music at home rather than engaging with normal childhood shenanigans. He has composed and produced music across every genre - from Hip Hop and R&B, to Rock, Country, EDM, and Pop. In addition, he has worked with multiple artists and labels over the years at Interscope, Sony, DreamWorks, Bad Boy, and many more.
