BlueVision expands behavioural analytics across three markets

BlueVision is expanding its use of behavioural analytics across South Africa (SA), the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Canada through a new partnership with security analytics company Fluency Security. The collaboration aims to bolster the detection of identity-driven threats and suspicious activity within BlueVision's Fusion Cloud managed service.

Christo Coetzer, CEO of BlueVision, emphasizes that the partnership enhances the technology foundation of their managed security offering, providing clients with earlier and more precise insights into potential threats. Fluency's technology utilizes user and entity behavior analytics to identify deviations from established patterns, such as unusual login locations, access to unfamiliar files, or security risks from configuration changes.

This integration will empower BlueVision's analysts with additional behavioral context while monitoring customer environments, thereby reducing false positives and alert noise. The technology will also contribute to BlueVision's reporting for clients, translating security findings into business risk assessments for management and leadership teams.

Coetzer highlights that the company chose Fluency due to their alignment in approach to behavioral detection, ensuring analysts have a more comprehensive view and clients benefit from a stronger, more secure service. The partnership specifically targets the identification of identity-related threats, including unusual sign-ins and abnormal access patterns, as cybercriminals increasingly target compromised credentials and legitimate user accounts.

BlueVision's Fusion Cloud service, which combines security monitoring with analyst expertise and monthly reporting, already operates in Canada after extending its reach to this region through the new partnership. The company operates in southern Africa and the UAE, and cites its ongoing investment in security technology as being influenced by the evolving scale and speed of cyber attacks facilitated by artificial intelligence.
