Across main street America, businesses of all sizes, the public sector, and academic institutions are making remarkable progress in developing the next generation of breakthrough treatments, vaccines, and diagnostics we need. The results are clear—working together we achieve more. That’s why the U.S. Chamber Discover & Deliver initiative is spotlighting the role of business in bringing science to life and delivering it to humanity. It’s the story of a nationwide, cross-industry effort that involves our brightest scientific minds, the most innovative companies, and the nation’s leading universities—all working together toward the common goal of making a healthier global community. The scope is as impressive as the speed. Scientists are conducting more than 140,000 clinical trials across the United States, in all 50 states, from big cities to small towns. This search for new medical solutions and cures also supports hometown economies by creating good jobs and driving growth. Discover & Deliver is conducting outreach in communities across the United States to engage local leaders, share the latest information, and provide a “peek inside the pipeline” to shed light on what science can tackle next. To help illustrate this story, the U.S. Chamber developed an interactive map, to show what’s happening across our country—in communities large and small—as innovation works to identify the solutions needed to fight disease.

Industrial Defender Delivers Industry-First OT Machine Learning Engine Using Both Network and Endpoint Data

Industrial Defender

Industrial Defender, an operational technology (OT) security pioneer, today announced another industry-first in their long line of innovations, a new OT Machine Learning (OTML) Engine. The OTML Engine is powered by Industrial Defender’s contextual OT endpoint and network data and uses the extensive Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit algorithms, to help businesses implement machine learning at scale across OT environments. As cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated, businesses require centralized machine learning for IT and OT environments – both of which have generally remained disparate and siloed to date – to develop stronger, more accurate data models for detecting, investigating and responding to potential threats. Consuming OT asset and network data in Splunk supports the creation of incident response playbooks specifically for these systems to enable advanced use cases like SOAR. “The centralization of machine learning is absolutely essential for it to be truly effective across any one organization – otherwise, it’s only useful for the particular system or plant in which it is currently being deployed,” said Peter Lund, Vice President of Product Management, Industrial Defender. “By marrying machine learning for both IT and OT environments in Splunk, our new OTML features enable predictive modeling and incident response for cyberattacks such as ransomware across the entire company, not just at the plant level.” To successfully implement machine learning at scale, it is important to understand normal, operating baselines so that SOC teams can automate the identification of behavioral deviations and anomalies. Simplifying this process, Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine provides the necessary contextual endpoint data that is labeled appropriately and easy to visualize from an asset-centric point of view. Key features of the new OTML Engine include: Behavioral Ransomware Detection: Detect when an asset starts exhibiting behavior that is indicative of a ransomware attack. Service and Conversation Anomalies: Detect when asset starts communication using a service(s) outside of the learned behavior for the asset or communicating with asset(s) that are outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Communication Anomalies: Detect when external inbound and outbound communications are being made with an asset that is outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Traffic Volume Anomalies: Detect when an asset is sending/receiving a volume of traffic that is outside of the learned behavior. OT Network Visualizations: Visualize asset-based network connectivity. To learn more about Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine powered by Splunk, view the solution brief here: https://www.industrialdefender.com/solution-brief-splunk-otml About Industrial Defender Since 2006, Industrial Defender has been solving the challenge of safely collecting, monitoring, and managing OT asset data at scale, while providing cross-functional teams with a unified view of security. Their specialized solution is tailored to complex industrial control system environments by engineers with decades of hands-on OT experience. Easy integrations into the broader security and enterprise ecosystem empower IT teams with the same visibility, access, and situational awareness that they’re accustomed to on corporate networks.

kURL Now a Certified Kubernetes Distribution

Replicated, Inc.

kURL, an open-source, custom Kubernetes distribution generator created by Replicated, achieved CNCF Kubernetes Distribution Certification. CNCF-certified Kubernetes products guarantee that the complete Kubernetes API functions as specified so that users can rely on a seamless, stable experience. Replicated uses kURL to power its embedded cluster installs. Now that kURL is CNCF-certified, embedded clusters, by extension, are now compatible with certification standards. Replicated customers and their enterprise end-customers can rest assured that embedded clusters installed through Replicated stand up to the standards outlined by the CNCF. “One of the most valuable characteristics of Kubernetes is the ecosystem’s commitment to standardization and compatibility. The certification process for Kubernetes distros serves to ensure that Kubernetes admins and end-users can expect a consistent set of manifests and tooling to work interoperably with various distros. By certifying this kURL distribution, software vendors and their end-customers can be confident that the Kubernetes they’re leveraging meets those standards.” Grant Miller, Founder, and CEO of Replicated. kURL distributions already power the underlying Kubernetes add-ons for many commercial software vendors. The technology is used primarily to allow these vendors to mask the complexity of Kubernetes installation and management for enterprises that don’t yet have a cluster to install third-party Kubernetes applications. Recognizing the ongoing need and that the Kubernetes ecosystem is evolving rapidly, achieving certification was a natural next step for kURL. With the new certification, enterprise customers can now sleep easy knowing they operate with a reliable, CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution that simplifies the process of deploying those applications. “kURL becoming a CNCF-Certified Kubernetes Distribution creator is an important milestone in our belief that Kubernetes and cloud-native standards are the easiest way to ship enterprise-grade, modern applications, whether on-prem, private cloud, or even air-gapped,” says Marc Campbell, Founder, and CTO of Replicated. “As Kubernetes technology evolves, we strongly believe in delivering solutions that sustain and support open source standards. In addition to this certification, we will continue to work closely with the CNCF ecosystem on other projects such as Troubleshoot.sh, KOTS, SchemaHero, and more.” Leading technology vendors around the globe have CNCF-certified Kubernetes offerings. By conforming to and releasing under CNCF’s Certified Kubernetes Distribution, kURL pledges that organizations will benefit from: Multi-Prem Deployment Flexibility – scale customer-controlled Kubernetes installations across enterprises whose infrastructure includes traditional data centers, public, private, or hybrid clouds. Agile Velocity – achieve faster development cycles with kURL’s declarative add-on manager. With native Kubernetes as the core foundation, declaratively simplify and manage various add-ons on top of upstream Kubernetes deployments. kURL knows how to configure it for you. Interoperability – ensure a seamless, stable environment from one Kubernetes deployment to the next, fully integrating sanctioned Kubernetes open-source API functions. Upgradeability – innovate leveraging continuous, seamless updates to adopt the latest Kubernetes releases, empowering them to embrace accelerated agile development. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sustains and integrates open source technology and recognizes Kubernetes as one of the top 30 highest velocity open source projects in existence. The CNCF certified the kURL submission, aligning kURL with its mission to deliver consistency, portability, and sustainability in the Kubernetes open-source space. CNCF collaborates closely with the Kubernetes development community at large, with persistent input from Testing and Architecture Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The Kubernetes Architecture SIG is the final arbiter that defines API conformance for the program. Every vendor’s version of Kubernetes must support the required APIs, mirroring open source community versions. For more information about kURL, visit https://kurl.sh. About Replicated: Replicated is a first-of-its-kind solution that empowers software vendors to deploy Kubernetes applications to enterprise customers with speed, consistency, reliability, and scalability. Replicated provides software vendors with the ability to package and deliver software across multi-cloud and on-prem environments – running Kubernetes clusters or not – in an agile manner using a single, modern, Kubernetes-based architecture. Vendors can now ship on-prem, air gapped, or self-hosted Kubernetes software with Day 2 operational enterprise management capabilities.
