Open Seas & cyberelements partner to provide security solutions to UK market

Open Seas, a Oxfordshire-based enterprise IT solutions company specialising in cyber security and data protection, has partnered with cyberelements, the new all-in-one SaaS platform which enables full cyber control for organisations.

Powered by French-based company Systancia, the partnership will bring cyberelements’ Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions to the UK market.

cyberelements’ PAM solution is for Managed Service Providers (MSP) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) that have admin access to client systems.

It enables admins to define and assign administrative rights to both internal and external users and trace all user actions performed.

Features include password leakage protection, recording of privileged users’ sessions, real-time detection of suspicious behaviour and automation of preventative actions to stop potential malicious users.

The cyberelements Critical Access for PAM provides strong protection from cyber threats such as ransomware, denial of service, and data theft.

According to Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for PAM 2021”, 50 per cent of organisations that implement a PAM that eliminates undefined privileges will avoid 80 per cent of security breaches by 2024, compared to those not equipped with PAM.

The Regular Access for ZTNA is based on the Zero Trust concept which aims to protect organisations’ information systems (IS) and data on their premises by trusting no one by default.

IT allows to precisely define access to applications or resources according to the user and their connection conditions, and whether they are in one or several data centres, managed by the company or by a cloud service provider.

It allows a wide variety of access scenarios to be taken into account; from controlled workstations, bring your own device (BYOD) or third party providers.

Both cyberelements’ services are a step up from Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) which have become an attack vector - VPN attacks have increased by 2,000 per cent in 2021, according to reports.

Jason Kent, Director at Open Seas, said: “Remote and hybrid working is here to stay and businesses have to adapt to these new realities. This also means adapting to new cyber threats. cyberelements’ PAM and ZTNA services are made for the modern way of working. They come at a good cost and are easy to deploy for organisations of all sizes. We look forward to a fruitful partnership.“

Christophe Corne, CEO at Cyberelements, said: “The UK is an important market and partnering with Open Seas to distribute our PAM and ZTNA solutions was an easy choice. Jason and his team have a wealth of experience in the market, especially in the area of enterprise cyber security and data protection.

"Now Open Seas’ network can benefit from the only cloud-based PAM solution that can be deployed in a few clicks and a ZTNA that is perfect for today’s hybrid and remote working environments.”
