TrueFort Fortress XDR delivers application detection and response platform to secure applications and cloud workloads

TrueFort announced on Monday TrueFort Fortress XDR, its latest approach to data center and cloud workload protection that replaces the traditional code and infrastructure view of application security in enterprise runtime environments. 

Fortress XDR detects and protects against elusive threats by analyzing and profiling business application logic and unifying telemetry from AppSec, infrastructure security and operational data sources in a single console. This enables organizations to more completely visualize their applications with both static and dynamic information, and constantly identify and adapt to new risks using a whitelist approach with tunable, auto-generated policies.


To enable organizations to achieve full, 360-degree visibility into the application context with immediate value while maximizing investments in already deployed security products, TrueFort also announced the TrueFort Fortified open ecosystem, which opens access for customers, providers and third-party security vendors to the Fortress XDR REST-APIs for bi-directional integration. It also allows customers to use the TrueFort agent or opt to “bring-their-own-agent” for substantial time and cost savings at organizations that have successful investments in platforms like CrowdStrike Falcon.

“As an inaugural vendor and Partner-of-the-Year in our CrowdStrike Store, the integrated TrueFort solution aligns well with our unique platform approach and is already generating a lot of interest from large enterprises,” said Mike Carpenter, CrowdStrike President, Global Sales & Field Operations. “A number of our customers using and evaluating the solution have added comprehensive application-layer visibility, policy automation and monitoring to tens of thousands of Falcon-protected workloads within just days.”

To extend visibility and security into containerized applications, Fortress XDR now supports Kubernetes and the Istio standard, and deploys as a daemon set within nodes rather than as a privileged container. This enables customers to secure applications running in practically any environment.

For threat hunting, incident response and investigations, the platform’s new Reporter module provides on-demand playback of both real-time and historical data that can span minutes, months or even years – down to the process, network, identity and time levels. These capabilities improve time-to-detection, response and compliance.

“Until now, application security has been a one-dimensional discipline,” said Sameer Malhotra, founder and chief executive officer of TrueFort. “With Fortress XDR, organizations have the end-to-end visibility into application behaviors, in context and in real-time, needed to detect anomalies and block malicious execution events.”

TrueFort Fortress XDR is offered as a subscription and available immediately from TrueFort and its business partners worldwide, including the CrowdStrike Store. TrueFort customers receive 24x7 support and have automatic access to the platform APIs, while interested vendors, resellers and providers may contact TrueFort to request access via the company website.
