R9B expands cybersecurity solutions with Baker Hughes
Advanced cybersecurity expert R9B has signed a service expansion agreement with energy tech company Baker Hughes.
According to the details of the press release, Baker Hughes’ subsidiary Nexus Controls will have permission to resell R9B’s Managed Security Services/Managed Detection and Response services, as well as its ORKOS package.
The latter, which priorities the protection of credential integrity within enterprise infrastructure, is capable of pinpointing defence weaknesses quickly and then recommending a suitable course of action to bolster protection:
“ORKOS presents the most advanced credential assessment and risk mitigation software to date. ORKOS identifies exposed credential risks that can lead to network breaches and illicit lateral movement within your enterprise,” says the company website.
Securing the energy sector
Eric Hipkins, CEO of R9B, expressed optimism that joining forces with Baker Hughes - a company with a legacy that stretches back over a century and currently operates in over 120 countries - would have a positive impact on the energy sector.
“The combination of Baker Hughes’ global reach in delivering a broad portfolio of technology solutions and R9B’s military-grade technology that protects critical infrastructure enables organizations to manage the complex cyber threats they face every day,” he said.
