Welcome to a new era of security at Defense.com. We’re excited to introduce our latest game-changing features designed to make your business security smarter and easier. Get ready to explore our brand-new Orbital Agent, a completely revamped dashboard, webhooks and more!

Alongside these new features, we're at the beginning of a bold rebranding journey to give Defense.com a fresher new look that aligns with our innovative spirit. So, keep an eye out across our website, socials and platform as we start to roll these out.

Orbital Agent

Say hello to Orbital Agent, where compliance and security remain in perfect orbit. Orbital is a lightweight, powerful tool that doesn’t just protect your network but also makes sure every device is following the rules, automatically.

Compliance without the hassle

We get it, keeping up with compliance can be a full-time job. From ensuring automatic updates to checking that firewalls and auto-run protections are active, there’s a lot to juggle. That’s why Orbital comes equipped with built-in compliance checks, a feature not often offered in other endpoint agents. Our agent takes the guesswork out of meeting security standards by monitoring your devices in real-time and flagging any issues before they become problems.

  • Automated monitoring: Orbital continuously checks that your devices are up to date, with automatic updates enabled so you never have to worry about outdated software.
  • Active firewalls: It ensures that firewalls are activated across your network, a critical layer of defence against potential threats.
  • Auto-run protection: Orbital confirms that auto-run protection is in place, reducing the risk of malicious programs taking hold.
  • Instant alerts and remediation: When a device falls out of compliance, Orbital alerts you immediately and provides clear, step-by-step remediation guidance – all within your Defense.com platform.

As well as built-in compliance checks, Orbital also carries out the classic roles of an endpoint agent enabling you to monitor every device in your network, spot potential threats and act fast – all from one easy-to-use platform. You can learn more about these here.

Dashboard revamp

Our newly structured dashboard offers a visually engaging and intuitive interface that brings all your security insights into one clear, centralized view. Now, you can monitor the latest threats and vulnerabilities across your entire business while also accessing a high-level overview of resolved incidents, including their outcomes, average response times and close times.

This enhanced design provides our customers with more comprehensive, actionable data, enabling faster decision-making and a more proactive approach to safeguarding your operations.

Webhooks

We are super excited to announce that our platform now supports webhooks – a powerful, automated way to send real-time updates from one application to another.

Here are some of the key benefits that our new webhook feature will bring to our existing customers:

  • Seamless integration: Connect effortlessly with tools such as Jira, Teams, Slack, Intercom, and any other IT management systems or ticketing platforms that support webhooks.
  • Real-time alerts: Receive immediate notifications on new threats and vulnerabilities to your preferred platform, ensuring that critical updates don't get lost in your inbox.
  • Automated workflows: Instantly trigger actions such as ticket creation or team alerts, streamlining your incident response process and reducing the risk of missed notifications.
  • Enhance existing processes: Incorporate Defense.com into your existing operations, making your security processes more cohesive without changing your workflow.

Note: Webhooks available for customers on our Premium, Advanced and Enterprise packages only.

Other new features

And that’s not all! A few more minor (but still important) new additions to Defense.com include:

  • Okta integration: Users can now integrate with identity and access management platform, Okta, to effortlessly ingest and analyze its log data directly within Defense.com.
  • User mentions: Mention a specific user or department within any notes section across the platform using a simple ‘@’. The mentioned users will then be alerted via email, so you no longer need to worry about missed communications.
