Symantec Advanced Threat Protection
An integrated approach and a series of innovations create
unmatched defense and added value
Athens, May 9, 2014 - H. Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) ανακοίνωσε μια εντελώς νέα προσέγγιση για την προστασία από προηγμένες απειλές (ATP), παρουσιάζοντας μία σειρά ολοκληρωμένων λύσεων που αναδεικνύουν τη δύναμη της καινοτομίας σε θέματα ασφάλειας, που μόνο αυτή μπορεί να προσφέρει για να βοηθήσει τους πελάτες της να επιλύσουν τα πιο σύνθετα προβλήματα τους. Αυτή η προσέγγιση συνίσταται σε δύο νέα προϊόντα, το SymantecManagedSecurityServices -AdvancedThreatProtection και το SymantecAdvancedThreatProtectionSolution, τα οποία συσχετίζουν τα alerts και τις πληροφορίες που λαμβάνουν από ένα ευρύ φάσμα τεχνολογιών ασφαλείας για να επιτευχθεί μια ολοκληρωμένη πρόληψη των επιθέσεων. Η ολιστική μεθοδολογία της Symantec αναδεικνύει τα benefits που επιτυγχάνονται όταν οι τεχνολογίες ασφαλείας συνεργάζονται, μετατρέποντας το πολύπλοκο αγώνα εναντία στις προηγμένες απειλές σε μία managed λειτουργία που προσφέρει μεγαλύτερη προστασία και περισσότερη αξιοπιστία στις businesses.
Οι καινοτόμες τεχνολογίες ασφάλειας της Symantec και το GlobalIntelligence δίκτυο της παρέχουν ήδη ισχυρή προηγμένη προστασία από απειλές και η εταιρεία αξιοποιεί τώρα, μέσω των νέων της λύσεων, τoν βασικό αυτό πυρήνα για να αναπτύξει αμυντικούς μηχανισμούς που θα προστατεύουν από εξελιγμένες επιθέσεις τη στιγμή της εξέλιξής τους. Οι νέες προσπάθειες της εταιρείας για προστασία από προηγμένες απειλές (ΑΡΤ) θα ενισχυθούν από την προηγούμενη γνώση της Symantec για τις εξελιγμένες απειλές από τις υπάρχουσες endpoint solutions που προστατεύουν μια βάση 200 εκατομμυρίων endpoints και τις τρέχουσες λύσεις ασφαλείας για email και διαδίκτυο που εξετάζουν πάνω από 8,4 δισmillions emails and 1,7 billion online requests per day.
"There is a real need in the market for greater protection against advanced threats, and many manufacturers do not have the holistic coverage or full functionality required to adequately detect and respond to targeted attacks," he said. Christos Ventouris, Information Security Specialist, Southeast Europe, Symantec. "Symantec is able to offer an advanced solution to the threats it covers from end to end by leveraging the technologies it offers today and integrating them throughout its portfolio, providing it as an improved service through its evolving partner ecosystem. By utilizing the GlobalIntelligence network and creating entirely new incident handling capabilities, Symantec can truly meet a multitude of cyber business requirements. ”
Targeted attacks are on the rise, cyber criminals are more unscrupulous than ever, and the solution to the multifaceted equation needed to protect against threats has become more difficult than ever. While the promise of security-based online solutions in response to advanced threats is constantly gaining ground, IT departments are still confronted with a multitude of incidents, many false positives and a list of processes that need to be dealt with without the necessary staffing and skills, leaving businesses exposed and vulnerable several times.
"For successful protection against any type of targeted attacks, you need to extend your focus from prevention to detection and resolution," said Christos Ventouris. "Network security alone is not going to solve the problem. Opponents target all points, from email to endpoint. Organizations need security at these checkpoints, with security incident capabilities and information from the globalintelligence information network, to defeat the attackers. Symantec offers this strong competitive advantage in the market. ”
Managed service resolves challenges related to tracking and coping practices
From June 2014, the next step in Symantec's ATP approach, Symantec Managed Security Services – Advanced Threat Protection (MSS-ATP), will be available, a managed service that significantly reduces the time required to detect, prioritize and address security incidents by offering integration between endpoint and network security products from third-party vendors. The data enable customers to quickly and efficiently maintain, examine and remediate unknown and zero-day attacks that elude traditional security products. By prioritizing real threats over falsepositives, IT organizations can maximize the operational costs of IT security staff and ensure they are protected against the most significant vulnerabilities.
Η Alliance Symantec for Advanced Threat Protection is a cybersecurity partner ecosystem that includes - to date - Check Point Software Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, and Sourcefire (now part of Cisco). Through this ecosystem, the detection and correlation of malicious network activity and endpoints actually helps to reduce false alarms by detecting important events, in order to provide faster customer response to the most critical incidents.
Strong Event Troubleshooting and Managed Consultant agency
Over the next six months, Symantec will introduce two key services. The first is a completely new incident management service, which provides customers with instant access to critical capabilities, knowledge and skills during security incident scenarios. The second is a new information service, which provides unparalleled visibility into threats and statistics that provide in-depth knowledge of key cyber asset risks through portals, data feeds and intelligence-as-a-service offering, as well as Managed Consulting on detailed reports on a number of threats to unparalleled visibility in this type of attacks that may target an organization.
New Solution for Protection from Advanced Threats
In summary, Symantec will offer the market a new Advanced Threat Protection Solution, which will start on a pilot / testing basis within six months and its general availability will begin in the next 12 months. This innovative, end-to-end solution will offer comprehensive and advanced protection against endpoint, e-mail, and gateway threats, providing customers with significant detection and response capabilities at each relevant point of control.
Two new, innovative and advanced technologies will enhance the capabilities of identifying and addressing the new solution. Dynamic Malware Analysis Service is a cloud-based sandbox environment where active content analysis can be used to quickly maximize threat identification, while Synapse ™ technology allows for smooth communication between the endpoint, e-mail and of the gateway to facilitate improved coping.
