More Deployment Options for Next-Generation
Endpoint Protection That Simplify, Integrate, and Automate Security
Operations
FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ:FEYE), the intelligence-led security
company, today announced new cloud and virtual form factors for its
Endpoint Security solution. Available globally by third quarter of
2017, the new cloud and virtual offerings enable customers and
partners additional flexibility for deployment and lower cost as
they move to the cloud.
A pioneer of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), FireEye
cloud and virtual Endpoint Security are part of major upgrades
available for customers in 2017 – aimed at delivering an
intelligence-led Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) that
simplifies, integrates, and automates security. Additional 2017
upgrades will include:
- Anti-virus (AV) replacement &
remediation in the third quarter of 2017,
- Linux support for protection of all
major computing platforms including macOS and Windows, and
- Continued investment in simplified
security driven by the company’s many years of data science and
artificial intelligence (AI) research and products.
“Every day we see endpoint security solutions with big tech
buzzwords and more alerts failing our partners and customers as we
respond to their breaches. By applying what we learn to our
Endpoint Security, we can relentlessly protect our customers while
simplifying their security operations,” said Kevin Mandia, CEO,
FireEye.
“We started the year with a goal to protect our clients with the
best next-generation endpoint platform in 2017. The addition of
cloud and virtual offerings is a critical step towards that goal,”
said John Laliberte, SVP of Engineering, FireEye. “These new form
factors are designed to enable our clients and partners to deliver
the best intelligence-led endpoint security at scale while reducing
costs and increasing deployment flexibility.”
“Enterprises are increasingly seeing the value of investing in
security products that are supported with a mixture of robust
threat intelligence, professional and managed services," said
Robert Westervelt, research manager at IDC. "FireEye Endpoint
Security is among the modern endpoint security solutions available
today that are well positioned to challenge traditional anti-virus
offerings. FireEye's flexible and cost-effective delivery options,
combined with an integrated portfolio of products and services,
provides enterprise buyers with an extremely attractive option for
threat detection and incident response.”
The Best Next-Generation Endpoint for Channel
Partners
For partners, the new form factors make delivering FireEye
Endpoint Security faster and more efficient. Partners can
immediately deploy the virtual and cloud versions of FireEye
Endpoint Security with no hardware required, and provide options to
host or virtually manage these solutions for their customers. These
new options drive down cost and complexity for new deployments and
provide proven scalability from a global security vendor.
Additionally, with FireEye Helix™, partners can simplify
customers’ security operations with integrated endpoint, network,
and third-party alerts offering a unified view of the threats in an
environment. Helix can be managed by customers or partners, with
FireEye providing experts at the moment a customer should request
additional expertise.
"FireEye is making investments for our channel
partners to have the options they need to deliver exactly what
their clients want from a next-generation endpoint platform,"
said Chris Carter, VP North America channels, FireEye. "They are
looking for protection beyond legacy and next-gen AV endpoint
vendors and that's exactly what we're offering with FireEye
Endpoint Security. Combined with FireEye Helix,
FireEye offers partners innovative technologies at the
endpoint and network, and the capabilities to manage an entire
security operation so they have a simpler, more relevant path
to revenue as they continue to serve as their customer’s trusted
