SoftServe has launched the “SoftServe Master Key,” the first accelerator accessible through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace and Pegasystems (Pega), the top provider of enterprise AI and workflow automation platforms. This tool helps businesses achieve advanced automation and specialized AI and machine learning (ML) services. The Master Key accelerator will debut on June 9 at PegaWorld iNspire 2024 as the first in a planned series of AWS-Pega integration connectors.

Developed by working with both AWS and Pega, SoftServe’s Master Key is designed to enable clients using both companies to connect any existing Pega applications to AWS AI and ML services or other AWS solutions. Combining Pega’s workflow automation with AWS analytics and AI services automates the steps an employee typically takes to validate information as more companies move their data to AWS.

“This ‘Master Key’ is the first step to combine AWS’ and Pega’s capabilities, doubling the methods of automation and AI functionalities available to all users,” said Todd Lenox, SoftServe’s SVP of Global Alliances & Partnerships. “The key allows users to automate even more internal work, freeing additional time to focus on paramount and rewarding tasks, as well as improve the accuracy and quality of their work by accessing a breadth of specialized AI services. As the first marketplace solution available to bridge this innovation between AWS and Pega, it has the potential to generate significantly more ROI for their customers.”

Companies using Pega to create personalized customer experiences, improve productivity, simplify regulatory compliance, and accelerate revenue growth through workflow automation can achieve more using SoftServe’s Master Key to connect insights generated within their AWS environment into their existing Pega application workflows. The key essentially allows Pega developers without AWS integration expertise to securely connect their applications to a large catalog of AWS services using the AWS Signature Version 4 standard, empowering Pega application users to complete more work in less time and with fewer errors.

“Enabling our customers to more easily integrate Pega into their AWS services creates tremendous opportunity for cross-platform value creation,” said Judy Buchholz, senior vice president, global partner ecosystems at Pegasystems. “Imagine seeing a potentially significant increase in automation and business processes. This – or any result gained from improved automation – could translate into more capacity to engage with customers, deepen AI knowledge and skills, or handle other critical priorities and strategic initiatives. SoftServe’s Master Key creates a potent combination for doing more impactful work.”

As one of the inaugural AWS Partners to achieve the AWS Generative AI Competency, SoftServe adds another layer of expertise for clients to effectively use and harness the benefits of connecting automation and AI functionalities from both platforms.

SoftServe’s Master Key solution accelerator will be available via the AWS Marketplace and Pega Marketplace at the start of PegaWorld iNspire 2024, happening June 9-11 in Las Vegas. To learn more about SoftServe’s Master Key solution accelerator, visit the webpage here.

PlexTrac introduced Plex AI, an AI-driven tool for creating offensive security reports. The announcement also included real-time team collaboration for simultaneous report editing by multiple members and a scheduler to assist offensive security teams in managing assessments and engagements efficiently.

Combined, the new capabilities empower pentest and vulnerability assessment teams to automate the authoring of findings and narratives using an AI-powered report-writing assistant, collaboratively edit the work created by both the AI assistant and team members to ensure quality and accuracy, and manage team utilization to prevent project delays with a built-in scheduler.

“PlexTrac is an important foundational element for our offensive security practice, and the new features will enhance our efficiency and improve the quality and impact of our deliverables for our clients,” said John Ayers, SVP Professional Services, Cyderes. “We are pleased that PlexTrac is offering AI to automate report writing, enabling AI to handle authoring tasks while allowing us to impart our expert touch with real-time collaboration. We are also excited about the Scheduler feature to help clients request engagements on a self-service basis from us and trigger our project workflow to support them for their continuous PENTesting as a service needs.”

Plex AI applies PlexTrac’s algorithms to scale findings development and authoring, saving countless hours in manual proactive security report development while ensuring the quality and data integrity that leading MSSPs, MSPs, and enterprises demand. Offensive security teams can provide simple inputs such as CVE or the title of a finding in PlexTrac’s content library and Plex AI will auto-generate the finding’s description and recommended remediation steps. These innovative capabilities help customers in all segments improve security posture and specifically enable service providers to extend their managed service offerings to provide new high-margin recurring revenue streams.

Hosted in Google Cloud and built using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, Plex AI is designed to deliver a wide range of proactive security reports and analyze large data sets for key themes to include in report narratives to provide vital context on security posture. Critically, pentest and vulnerability assessment teams can aggregate scan, pentest, and offensive engagement data and apply AI to summarize the key themes from a range of proactive security data. In addition to cycle time reduction gained from virtual authoring, Plex AI ensures that offensive security reports are thorough, accurate, and actionable for all key stakeholders. Plex AI was built with security and privacy in mind using private models, enforcing strict RBAC controls, and secure architecture from the beginning.

PlexTrac’s new real-time collaboration feature makes offensive security reporting a team sport by allowing security practitioners to have complete visibility into what everyone is doing inside a report. For example, multiple people can edit documents simultaneously without collisions. This is particularly useful for quality assurance use cases and editing findings and narratives auto-created by Plex AI.

The scheduler helps facilitate project communication across a team, an MSSP and a client, or between an internal enterprise pentesting team and its stakeholders. The scheduler simplifies the requesting of new engagements from clients or internal stakeholders by receiving inbound scheduling requests, which eliminates manual workflow friction, reduces context switching, and encourages requests to flow in.

From there, offensive security teams can easily schedule new engagements based on resource availability, eliminating some of the time and cost associated with testing. Testing and validation team members can immediately begin work on a set of tasks by accessing a common set of report requirements — including scope and file attachments — in one space.

“We received a great reaction in the market to the early availability of Plex AI, and we are excited to release the real-time collaboration and scheduler capabilities that amplify the efficiency gains offensive security teams realize from Plex AI,” said Dan DeCloss, founder and CTO, PlexTrac. “We believe these innovations will help MSSP and enterprise customers become more efficient and effective in their offensive security practices and programs respectively”

Plex AI is available immediately. Customers with the Premium package will receive Plex AI, while customers with Essentials and Core can purchase Plex AI as an add-on module. The new real-time collaboration and scheduler features are available in all PlexTrac packages.

Malwarebytes announced a new partnership with ConnectWise, granting ConnectWise users access to Malwarebytes’ complete suite of ThreatDown solutions, comprising ThreatDown EDR and ThreatDown MDR, driven by the ConnectWise Asio platform. Managed service providers (MSPs) and cloud resellers will now enjoy instant access to acclaimed endpoint security, detection, and response capabilities.

The ConnectWise integration, certified through the ConnectWise Invent program, will help Malwarebytes reach more partners and help them simplify security for resource constrained IT teams. According to IDC, 40% of small and mid-size businesses do not have a full-time IT employee in-house. Of those that do have in-house IT, 63% have only two to four staffers. This makes many SMBs leery of complex integrations and dependent on the channel for their cybersecurity needs.

“MSPs on the front lines of cybersecurity everyday need streamlined, efficient solutions to help them stay ahead of today’s sophisticated threats,” said Brian Thomas, SVP of Global Channels, Malwarebytes. “We’ve purpose built ThreatDown solutions for MSPs to take down threats, including the latest ransomware, Remote Access Trojans, malware droppers, spyware and more, while also taking down complexity and costs. This new integration with ConnectWise underscores our commitment to the channel and provides partners with simple, effective cybersecurity solutions.”

“We are thrilled to see Malwarebytes’ continued support of the IT Nation Community through numerous, easy-to-use integrations,” said Chris Timms, EVP & GM, Ecosystems for ConnectWise. “Our primary objective is to consistently equip our partners with the necessary tools to achieve success and expand their customer base. The integration of ThreatDown products and services within the ConnectWise Asio platform will provide more automation, protection, detection, and options for guided remediation and response, ensuring our users have access to top-notch security measures within a centralized platform.”
