BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kivu Consulting, a premier global cybersecurity solutions provider, is proud to introduce two new managed security services: Cloud Detection and Response and Identity Threat Detection and Response.

Powered by CrowdStrike, as part of Kivu and CrowdStrike's elite MSSP partnership, these innovative services are designed to equip clients with new capabilities to address the expanding technology attack surface and continued targeting of digital identities by cyber threats.

Cloud Detection and Response:
Kivu's Cloud Detection and Response service is a fully managed solution engineered to support cloud and hybrid environments. Key features include:

Identification and alerts for cloud accounts, infrastructure misconfigurations, and compliance violations.
Detection and prevention of cloud account and control plane threats.
Resolution of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in Cloud workload.
Runtime detection and response for container and function-based applications.

Identity Threat Detection and Response:

Early identification of threats before systems and data are impacted.
Identity scoring and enforcement of robust authentication for risk-based remediation.
