Mattermost Playbooks Elevate Real-Time Cybersecurity Automation to Accelerate Compliance with New SEC & CISA Regulations
06 Mayo 2024 - 3:00AM
Mattermost, a leader in secure collaboration for critical
infrastructure enterprises, announced at the RSA Conference
strategic enhancements to its Playbook capabilities to help
organizations battle the global expansion of cybercrime and to
speed compliance with new SEC and CISA mandates.
Cyberattacks impacted over 343 million victims in 2023, and data
breaches rose 72% from 2021. To support the protection of
downstream stakeholders, both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission's
(SEC) published new regulations responding to the need for timely
incident disclosure. This includes a new four-day disclosure
requirement for public companies in the United States who
experience a material incident.
Mattermost Playbooks enables organizations to respond more
effectively to security incidents and track required disclosure
timelines for both established and new
regulations.Mattermost’s Playbook capability speeds
compliance with expanding regulations:
Recognizing the immediate and long-term implications of these
regulations for cyber resilience stakeholders, Mattermost rapidly
evolved its platform to streamline compliance with these new
requirements, while enhancing cybersecurity program management
capabilities. The platform's Playbook functionality now includes
features specifically designed to help organizations with:
- Dedicated Out-of-Band Incident Response: Secure communication
channels for incident response ensure safe, timely collaboration
during critical system compromises.
- Streamlined Integrated Security Operations: Enhance threat
detection, response, and remediation speed by integrating with
real-time collaboration tools and systems.
- Customized Workflows for Regulatory Compliance: Tailor-made for
critical infrastructure sectors, Playbooks ensure strict compliance
with security and regulatory needs.
- Operational Efficiency in Mission-Critical Processes: Beyond
enhancing security, Mattermost's Playbooks drive operational
efficiency and reduce error rates across a range of critical
workflows.
Future Development FocusAs Mattermost continues
to invest in its Playbooks offering, it is exploring new
opportunities to co-develop the following features:
- Enabling Incident Responders with Integrated Threat
Intelligence: Provide automated access to threat information about
identified identifiers of compromise (IoC) during investigations,
allowing for a faster triage and response to critical events and
limit organizational impact. Support for both commercial and custom
threat feeds that will adapt to the customer environments.
- Reduce Manual Labor through Workflow Automation: Reduce alert
fatigue and process overhead by automating repetitive tasks through
conditional workflow automation that can be configured based on
Playbook information or third-party systems that integrate with
Mattermost. Adapt playbooks based on contextual information, such
as alert severity or event types, to increase process efficiencies
and stay compliant with regulatory requirements.
Security organizations who are existing Mattermost customers can
request to join the joint-development program for this new offering
by contacting their account teams.
The Urgency of Cyber Resilience
With the SEC rules already in as of December 2023, there is a
pressing need for organizations to assess their cybersecurity
policies and procedures and ensure they are prepared to comply with
these new requirements. Mattermost's Playbook enhancements offer a
proactive solution, enabling organizations to manage operational
risks, document cybersecurity strategies, and respond to incidents
with the necessary speed and detail.
“We’re excited to partner with Mattermost to build on its
Playbook platform, enhancing incident response solutions for our
joint customers,” said Jordan Husney, CEO of Parabol. “Together
Mattermost and Parabol will allow teams to respond in an organized
and thorough manner as incidents unfold, as well as later step back
to reflect and learn from single or groups of incidents with the
full might of emerging AI capabilities to prevent similar incidents
from happening in the future, boosting cybersecurity
resilience.”
Daniel Schalla, Director of Security at Mattermost, emphasized
"Our Playbook capabilities are designed to help organizations
respond more effectively to security events through workflow
automation and standardization, allowing them to stay compliant
with the new and existing regulations around incident reporting
posed by the SEC or CISA's incident reporting rule."
Mattermost invites organizations and ecosystem partners to
explore how its enhanced Playbook capabilities accelerate
compliance with the SEC's cybersecurity disclosure rules while
advancing their cybersecurity risk management strategies.
