Timus Networks’ mission is to keep companies protected from data breaches and ransomware wherever the employees are working from. Its flagship product, Timus SASE, consolidates multiple tools under a single platform to create a cloud-based security perimeter for businesses and their employees, following users, and protecting traffic everywhere. Timus Networks is the only dedicated SASE vendor built for the Channel.
Timus SASE integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
Timus SASE provides an always-on VPN agent with zero trust network access (ZTNA) policies layered on top before granting access. The Timus cloud firewall checks through many user-based parameters (such as new device, location, IP address, impossible travel, etc.) before granting least privilege access to resources. Timus SASE integration with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud enhances identity security by sending any real-time sign-in alerts, including alert details, to Acronis. This allows security teams to monitor authentication activities directly within the Acronis dashboard, strengthening zero-trust security and incident response, and allowing for operational efficiencies.
By integrating Timus SASE with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, MSPs and enterprises gain a unified security approach, ensuring that both network access control and endpoint protection are monitored from one platform.
Key Benefits:
-Enhanced Security Monitoring: Provides real-time authentication alerts in Acronis, allowing security teams to track login activities and detect suspicious behavior.
-Proactive Threat Detection: Correlating Timus SASE login events with endpoint security data helps identify brute-force attacks, compromised accounts, and unauthorized logins.
-Single Pane of Glass Visibility: Consolidates authentication alerts from Timus SASE within Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, reducing the need for security teams to monitor multiple platforms separately
-Strengthened MSP Cybersecurity Offering: Adds value to MSPs' client security management by integrating Timus SASE authentication data into a broader security ecosystem.
Use Cases of Acronis Integration with Timus SASE:
-Suspicious Login Detection:
A security analyst at an MSP receives an alert in Acronis showing multiple failed login attempts to a Timus Connect account. The integration allows them to investigate and block the IP address attempting unauthorized access quickly.
-Incident Response & Forensics:
A company experiences a ransomware attack. Security teams use Acronis to correlate endpoint threats with Timus login events, identifying whether compromised credentials were used for lateral movement.
-MSP Security Reporting:
An MSP managing multiple customers wants to generate reports on authentication events. With Timus login alerts in Acronis, they can create dashboards that track authentication anomalies across clients.
