The Visionary Powering Active Cyber Defense Solutions to Help Overwhelmed Companies Defend Against Cyber Threats: Celerium

As cyber threats become increasingly complex and damaging, businesses of all sizes face mounting pressure to secure their digital infrastructures. Celerium, a company dedicated to empowering organizations with active cyber defense solutions stands as a leader in the field. Launched in 2019, Celerium evolved from a business initially founded in 2002, following the devastating September 11 attacks. Its roots were in helping organizations defend against physical threats through situational awareness and readiness solutions. Recognizing the shift in the threat landscape toward cyber risks, the company introduced Celerium as its cybersecurity arm to meet the growing need for cyber defense.

The global demand for cybersecurity has been exacerbated by a significant skills gap in the industry, leaving companies vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated attacks. This gap, combined with limited budgets for cybersecurity, means that many organizations struggle to defend themselves adequately. Celerium’s suite of solutions, which includes Compromise Defender® and Network Defender®, addresses this problem by offering affordable, automated, and scalable tools that work across various industries, from healthcare to government and defense contractors.

Cyber Defense Network™: A Holistic Solution

At the heart of Celerium’s approach is its Cyber Defense Network™ (CDN), a comprehensive platform that powers the company’s active cyber defense solutions. CDN focuses on three core areas: network defense, compromise defense, and community defense. The principle behind this system is to ensure that when one company is protected from a threat, the defense benefits a wider community of organizations.

Community defense is particularly important as cybercriminals often exploit multiple targets once they identify a vulnerability. Celerium’s solutions aim to make collective defense more impactful by improving the overall security posture of not just individual companies but entire sectors.

Compromise Defender: Real-Time, Automated Breach Defense

Compromise Defender® is one of Celerium’s flagship products, offering real-time, automated defense against data breaches. It is designed for quick implementation and ease of operation, meaning companies can start benefiting from its protection in a short time.

One of the key benefits of Compromise Defender is its ability to defend against high-profile and emerging threats. For example, the solution successfully detected and blocked attacks from the Cl0p ransomware gang and the widely publicized MoveIT vulnerability. The platform draws from multiple threat intelligence sources, including CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), open-source information, and high-end threat feeds, ensuring that organizations benefit from the latest intelligence in real-time.

Network Defender: Tailored for MSPs and MSSPs

For managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs), cybersecurity is an essential part of their service offering, and Celerium’s Network Defender® is tailored specifically to meet this need. Built for simplicity and effectiveness, Network Defender requires no additional hardware or software installation, making it easy to implement. It integrates seamlessly with popular on-prem firewalls and offers a fully automated solution that requires no agents or analysts to operate.

The Network Defender solution utilizes Celerium’s patented Decision Engine to automatically score and block high-risk connections. It re-optimizes every 15 minutes to stay ahead of evolving threats. For MSPs, the ability to offer this level of protection to their customers is a major selling point, and Celerium’s solution makes it easy to do so with minimal effort. The platform also offers detailed monthly reports, which MSPs can use to demonstrate the value of their services to clients.

Supporting Enterprise Organizations and Healthcare Providers

While small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) struggle with limited cybersecurity budgets, enterprise organizations face the challenge of securing multiple divisions and locations. Celerium’s solutions provide a common operating picture that offers a high-level view of the overall cybersecurity status of an organization. This allows IT teams to identify which areas require attention without being overwhelmed by an avalanche of threats. The Compromise Defender solution can be implemented across all locations and divisions, ensuring a consistent level of protection throughout the enterprise. When threats are identified and blocked in one location, that defense is automatically applied to all locations.

In the healthcare sector, data breaches have become an alarming problem, with incidents increasing significantly in recent years. Celerium’s solutions offer an early-warning defense to help healthcare providers detect and contain breaches before they cause significant damage. With the ability to stop an initial breach from spreading, healthcare organizations can reduce operational disruption, limit the number of affected patients, and avoid potential regulatory penalties.

Partnering for a Secure Future

Celerium is committed to helping organizations across industries improve their cybersecurity posture with affordable, easy-to-implement solutions. Its Cyber Defense Network offers real-time defense against cyber threats, while products like Compromise Defender and Network Defender provide targeted protection for companies in industries ranging from defense contracting to healthcare. The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, and Celerium’s team is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve. With years of experience implementing cybersecurity compliance frameworks like NIST 800-53, Celerium’s solutions are built with a strong focus on security and excellence.

As companies continue to face mounting cyber risks, Celerium offers a proactive approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that businesses are not only prepared to defend against current threats but also equipped to face the challenges of the future.
