OpenText releases cyDNA for superior insight into cybersecurity threats


OpenText has announced a new cybersecurity offering, cyDNA, which aims to provide superior insight into cyber threats facing organisations and their supply chains.

The technology reportedly tracks threat actors across an organisation’s assets, identifying potential adversaries such as criminal organisations or nation states.

The announcement comes on the heels of a recent warning from the director-general of ASIO, Mike Burgess, regarding the rising danger of foreign sabotage against both soft and hard targets. In particular, Burgess pointed out that critical infrastructure, such as supply chains, are among the most vulnerable. Furthermore, he emphasised that the lowest cost and potentially most damaging vector for sabotage is cyber.

In response to increasingly complex cyber threats, OpenText has developed a preemptive approach to cybersecurity. The company is focussed on prioritising customer value by enhancing proactive defence capabilities and augmenting threat intelligence. Its cyDNA offering significantly advances adversarial signals threat intelligence, providing unparalleled visibility into cyber threats and early-warning insights.

OpenText’s cyDNA analyses the internet signal traffic directed at organisations and their supply chains, allowing security teams to take effective, data-driven actions to prevent cyberattacks before they occur. Mark Fernandes, Global Chief Information Security Officer at CAE, said, “cyDNA brings unique insights that helps CAE gain additional visibility into our global outposts to enable overall digital situational awareness, resiliency, and posture.”

Besides cyDNA, OpenText has other advanced solutions to bolster cybersecurity. Fortify Static Code Analysis allows security teams to preemptively identify vulnerabilities, crucial for mitigating risks in production environments. This technology supports large language models and smart contract blockchain languages. Furthermore, the integration of OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager 4.9 with ACDI (Audit, Compliance, and Data Intelligence) enables real-time security event monitoring and proactive identification of compliance issues.

OpenText also offers solutions in the area of DevOps security compliance, introducing automated compliance checks into the development cycle so that organisations can monitor IT compliance in real-time. The company’s Open Source Select helps streamline the DevOps lifecycle by automating open source discovery and intake based on organisational policies.

Addressing the dynamics of the evolving threat landscape, Muhi Majzoub, Chief Product Officer and EVP at OpenText, stated, “Attack strategies are constantly changing through all aspects of an organisation’s IT environment. OpenText’s new innovations equip cyber defenders with the intelligence and tools to anticipate and mitigate potential risks before they materialise. Leveraging the knowledge we provide, cyber defenders can accelerate the development of overall threat readiness and response, which is ideal for government and enterprise organisations that handle sensitive, mission-critical data.”
