About The Customer

SecureMe2 provides a network traffic surveillance solution that detects and generates alarms about malicious behavior, shadow IT, misconfigurations, and other suspicious activity. The company serves small-to-medium businesses in Europe. SecureMe2 is headquartered in Ridderkerk, South Holland, Netherlands. The company focuses on providing comprehensive event data, easier scalability, and fast integration and deployment of new software to improve network protection and performance. SecureMe2 aims to strengthen its competitive and financial position by leveraging advanced security technologies.

The Challenge

As more applications and data move to the cloud, SecureMe2, a network surveillance solution provider, identified a growth opportunity. SecureMe2’s Cyber Alarm network scanning solution runs on servers at customers’ locations, which means scaling to additional endpoints may require server upgrades. To provide increased flexibility and efficiency, SecureMe2 decided to develop and offer Cyber Alarm as a cloud-based solution. SecureMe2 evaluated security technologies from Bitdefender and several other vendors. SecureMe2 selected Bitdefender to integrate threat intelligence, and URL detection services into its new cloud-based Cyber Alarm solution.

The Solution

SecureMe2 has embedded Bitdefender technologies into its cloud-based Cyber Alarm service. The Bitdefender URL Status Service detects malicious, phishing, and fraudulent websites in real-time before they can expose a user to an attack or scam. URL information is updated in real-time, with new malicious URLs and domains identified and processed by Bitdefender technologies, and additional intelligence gained from multiple sources. Bitdefender Reputation Threat Intelligence Services supply the threat information and its context needed to categorize text message content, URLs, and attachments, and detect any suspicious activity. The solution collects data from a global network of sensors of hundreds of millions of endpoints, deep web monitoring, web crawling systems, sandbox analyzer services, advanced heuristic and content analyzers, email spam traps, honeypots, and monitored botnets. Integrating Bitdefender threat intelligence was a streamlined process, as Bitdefender uses a modern, non-proprietary architecture that allows for customization in running the solution. SecureMe2 adapted the software to its AWS ElastiCache for Redis ecosystem and had it up and running in less than a day.

Operational Impact

The Cyber Alarm-Bitdefender solution automatically analyzes and stores SecureMe2 customers’ network metadata and generates alarms when suspicious events are detected.
The new solution has demonstrated improved performance and scalability in the cloud.
The new solution puts SecureMe2 in a stronger financial position, with fixed costs for threat intelligence data, providing better margins as the company grows.
It is easier to adapt the Bitdefender software and interface as customer requirements change, improving competitive advantage and driving growth opportunities.
The partnership between SecureMe2 and Bitdefender is built on trust and responsiveness, with clear, transparent, and simple fixed fees and licensing arrangements.
