Significant new software capabilities and
next-generation hardware drive performance at scale and increase
deployment flexibility
FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security
company, today announced major new software releases and
next-generation hardware, adding new and expanded capabilities to
extend FireEye’s cybersecurity threat detection while reducing
costs and increasing flexibility.
To address the issue of post-breach attacks and insider threats,
FireEye unveiled FireEye® Network SmartVision™ – a new capability
that leverages a machine-learning framework to detect suspicious
lateral threat movements (East-West traffic) and data exfiltration.
This capability is designed to provide customers with greater
detection and expanded visibility across their perimeter and now
network core and servers.
FireEye Network (NX™) deployments can now burst network traffic
to FireEye’s MVX™ Smart Grid™ during periods of high-content
scanning activity, to address overload and gaps in protection that
might otherwise occur. Other new software capabilities include
significant updates to alert handling, event change visualization,
expanded logging, and overall usability improvements.
These new software releases complement the launch of
fifth-generation FireEye hardware, expanding customer capability to
address increasingly sophisticated threats, while reducing costs
and increasing deployment flexibility. FireEye also introduced
FireEye File Content Security™ (FX™), a new virtual offering that
extends FireEye protection further into hybrid IT environments.
“The combination of our new software and hardware updates is
designed to provide customers with the most sophisticated detection
capabilities and flexibility to expand their security program,”
said Grady Summers, chief technology officer at FireEye. “We’ve set
the foundation for organizations to move further along a path to
unify their security operations with FireEye Helix, to realize more
value from their existing infrastructure, and make better decisions
in responding to alerts based on our experience from the front
lines of cybersecurity.“
FireEye’s new fifth-generation hardware includes the latest
Intel processors, increased storage and port density to provide
superior price/performance. The four models are engineered to
deliver throughput from 300 Mbps to 2500 Mbps, replacing existing
fourth-generation models that are available until the end of
October 2017.
FireEye solutions updated with the new software and
next-generation hardware include FireEye Network Security (NX),
FireEye Email Security (EX™), File Content Security (FX), Central
Management (CM™), and Malware Analysis (AX™).
The new virtual offering, the FX 2500v Smart Content Sensor™, is
aimed at customers who prefer a virtual or hybrid approach.
Protecting online file shares, portable file storage, services such
as SharePoint, and other content is a significant concern for
businesses. FireEye is committed to allowing customers to deploy
solutions via public or private cloud, or as-a-service.
The new FireEye software releases are available immediately to
customers with current Secure Assurance support. FireEye’s new
version 8.0 software requires FireEye fourth or fifth generation
hardware. The new FireEye hardware and virtual offerings are
available to order now from authorized FireEye partners and
solutions providers.
