UBIKA x GLIMPS: a strategic alliance for uncompromising cybersecurity based on artificial intelligence

UBIKA, a European pioneer in the protection of web applications and APIs (WAAP), and GLIMPS, a French publisher with expertise in file analysis using artificial intelligence, have announced a ground-breaking technological partnership. Together, they offer an integrated solution combining prevention, detection and remediation, with no impact on application performance.

With the increase in cyberattacks exploiting application vulnerabilities and malware undetectable by traditional solutions, UBIKA and GLIMPS have combined their expertise to offer:

• Comprehensive protection of critical environments: the combination of UBIKA and GLIMPS technologies offers a unique approach to securing all application and custom API entry points more effectively, including those often overlooked.
• Reduced risks and costs: This near-instant detection of threats and simplified alert management enables the company to focus on critical incidents, reducing the operational burden and costs associated with threat management.
• Data sovereignty and confidentiality: our solutions meet the most stringent data protection requirements, guaranteeing data sovereignty and compliance with European and international standards (RGPD, NIS2, PCI DSS, PSD2).
• Seamless integration: our solutions are compatible with all existing environments, whether multi-cloud, hybrid or on-premise, saving companies the need to redefine their application or web infrastructures.

GLIMPS’ technological innovation is based on hybrid (static and dynamic) threat analysis, combining artificial intelligence and advanced reverse engineering. Capable of identifying unknown threats, this innovative approach outperforms traditional tools by detecting the most sophisticated malware, including unknown variants.

Thanks to its Deep Learning-based artificial intelligence engine, GLIMPS accurately identifies malware families and extracts indicators of compromise (IOCs), enabling companies to:

• Reduce the volume of alerts by 90%, to focus solely on critical incidents;
• Better understand risks thanks to detailed threat characterization;
• Optimize responsiveness to targeted attacks.

UBIKA has developed a connector that analyzes files in transit to an application via its reverse proxy. This approach offers four major advantages:

• Analysis of all uploaded files, blocking threats before they reach the application.
• No modification of web applications: analysis is performed upstream, avoiding any specific development.
• Performance and scalability: designed to integrate with existing infrastructures without impacting performance, this connector adapts to the needs of companies of all sizes.
• Enhanced regulatory compliance: By blocking suspicious files before they are processed by the application, companies can more easily

“The cybersecurity of applications and APIs is a major issue for businesses today, and attacks are evolving at an unprecedented speed. This partnership with GLIMPS enables us to provide an effective, proactive response to new threats, thanks to near-instant detection and advanced artificial intelligence.” – Stéphane de Saint Albin, CEO of UBIKA

“At GLIMPS, we believe in proactive, intelligent cybersecurity. Our unique detection approach, combined with UBIKA’s expertise, guarantees our customers security and peace of mind, while complying with the most stringent regulatory requirements.” – Cyrille VIGNON, CEO of GLIMPS
