Bit9 Announces Industry's First Real-time Endpoint and Network Security Integration Strategy
WALTHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Bit9,
the leader in Trust-based
Security, today announced a strategic initiative under which the
company will partner with industry-leading network security providers to
deliver a first-of-its kind integration of network security with Bit9's
trust-based real-time endpoint and server security solution. The
integration will enable the Bit9 security platform to take data from
firewalls, file analysis or other network security solutions, and
deliver immediate malware alert confirmation and accelerated incident
response from the Bit9 console. This integration will benefit customers
by improving their security, reducing their operational effort and
accelerating their incident response times.
This unique combination gives organizations the most comprehensive,
effective protection against advanced threats and malware by delivering
four industry firsts:
-
The FIRST solution to combine a real-time endpoint sensor and
continuous recorder with network detection to automatically filter out
non-actionable alerts.
-
The FIRST solution to provide immediate enterprise-wide visibility
into all systems infected by malware that is discovered by network
detection.
-
The FIRST solution to automatically enforce endpoint and server
protection based on events identified by network file analysis.
-
The FIRST solution that provides immediate access to any fileon any
system across the enterprise and automatically submits them for
detonation and analysis.
"This strategic initiative addresses a critical gap in comprehensive
enterprise malware detection and incident response, which is the ability
to determine if malicious files identified by network-based security
solutions have reached or executed on endpoints and servers," said
Patrick Morley, chief executive officer of Bit9. "Our forthcoming
product, and the integration partnerships we are announcing with leading
network security companies, closes this gap by combining real-time
endpoint sensor and continuous monitoring capabilities with
network-based malware detection. Our mutual customers will benefit from
a single console view that will enable them to swiftly and accurately
respond to threats to their network and devices connected to it."
Bit9 today announced details of its first partnerships under this
initiative in separate news releases today that can be seen here and here.
Bit9 will announce full details of its integration product in the second
quarter of 2013.
Bit9 is exhibiting at RSA (News - Alert) Conference 2013 in San Francisco
Feb. 25 through Feb. 28 in booth #545.
