SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aella Data, a leading innovator in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, announced today a major update to its Starlight™ Pervasive Breach Detection System (PBDS) with the release of software version 2.0. Starlight is the industry’s first breach detection system that can be deployed pervasively across all network infrastructures.

Starlight 2.0: Powerful Multi-Tenant Support
Starlight 2.0 is the first AI-driven breach detection system with the capability to support multiple tenants on the same system. Aella Data’s Multi-ML™ applies powerful and unique machine learning analysis separately to each tenant’s data. Multi-tenancy is a must for meeting data privacy/GPDR requirements.
“The ability to monitor all our clients individually, with machine learning on their own data set, but also view and manage all clients and their alerts collectively, is a game changer for MSSPs,” said Douglas Mannella, Vice President of Alliances at CyFlare, an Aella Data MSSP partner.
In addition to full multi-tenant support, Starlight 2.0 key features and updates include:
- more detections across the cyber kill chain
- improved data collection and visibility, including for Microsoft Windows servers
- further UI enhancements and reporting improvements
- expanded deployment options that include Windows and Docker container systems
- full support for Microsoft Azure and soon to be available in the Azure Marketplace and AWS Marketplace
Aella Data’s MSSP Partner Program
The new MSSP Partner Program is designed to address the demand for managed security services, driven by the threat landscape and skills gap. Starlight has been architected from the ground up to support MSSPs and MDRs offering managed services. MDR is an emerging new class of MSSP designed to help organizations improve their threat detection and incident response proficiency.
Starlight delivers a wide range of real-time breach detections across the entire cybersecurity kill chain along with a big data platform for historic investigation, empowering MSSPs to detect, prevent and mitigate breaches using just one tool. Flexible and easy deployment options coupled with a centralized management system make Starlight 2.0 ideal for MSSPs and MDRs.
“Starlight’s multi-tenant capability provides industry leading security analytics ideal for the managed security service provider or enterprise security operator, at a very aggressive price point,” said Genichi Tamatsuka, president of Digital Hearts, an Aella Data distributor and MSSP, and leading IT services firm based in Tokyo, Japan. “Using sophisticated machine learning, Starlight saves users’ critical time and resources in finding the root cause of breach incidents, the primary goal for SOC or CSIRT.”
Aella Data sees tremendous response and growth, especially across Asia where the company has several key distributors to support additional end user, VAR, and MSSP signups. Interested MSSP and Channel Partners can learn more and sign up at http://aelladata.com/partners.
