Infocyte Partners With Check Point Software Technologies For Cloud-delivered Compromise Assessments, Proactive Threat Detecti...
February 19 2019 - 9:00AM
Infocyte, a cybersecurity company focused on proactive threat
detection and incident response, and Check Point® Software
Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber
security solutions globally, are partnering to deliver faster
threat detection and incident response services on compromised
hosts. As part of the partnership Infocyte’s platform, Infocyte
HUNT, will be integrated with Check Point’s suite of advanced
services. Both companies will share threat intelligence to improve
their threat detection and incident response capabilities.
Check Point’s recent Cyber Attack Trends Report highlights the
growing concern around advanced threats. New forms of malware,
cryptominers, ransomware, and other cyber-attacks continue to show
alarming rates of success across cloud, traditional, and hybrid
networks. As cyber-attacks evolve, they become better at
penetrating deep into IT networks and hiding from traditional
detection technologies. In an effort to fight back, companies are
adopting proactive practices like post-breach threat detection and
remediation solutions that complement their existing cyber security
defenses.
“When customers contact Check Point and our global partner
network for help, they want immediate answers,” quoted Dan Wiley,
Head of Incident Response at Check Point. “We’ve deployed Infocyte
HUNT into numerous customer environments with tremendous success.
Integrating Check Point’s threat mitigation capabilities and
Infocyte HUNT’s endpoint assessment functionality significantly
improves our response time. Additionally, the Compromise Assessment
solution allows us to provide these services to customers in a
proactive and cloud-delivered platform.”
One of the most challenging aspects of setting a baseline and
discovering cyber threats in any IT environment is the reliance on
existing security tooling, data, and logs. Infocyte HUNT was
designed to be independent and rely on primary threat
intel—separate from traditional defensive tools, which are prone to
miss certain types of attacks. Being able to deploy across physical
or virtual hosts, on premise or in the cloud, enables Infocyte HUNT
to deliver conclusive results—faster and more accurately.
“What started as a network slowdown turned into a full-fledged
attack,” said Erik Pufahl, VP of IT for Linden Bulk Transportation.
“During the response efforts, Infocyte HUNT provided immediate
visibility across our entire network, enabling us to quickly
isolate and eliminate the threats. We now have Check Point
providing protection and Infocyte HUNT for proactive detection and
response, enabling us to pinpoint and investigate any new potential
threats on an ongoing basis. With Check Point and Infocyte, I feel
Linden is better protected and IR ready.”
Sycomp was among the first of Check Point’s strategic partners
to see Infocyte HUNT in action. The speed of delivery for
Infocyte’s Compromise Assessment and IR capabilities during initial
prospect engagements has helped Sycomp convert one-time assessments
into subscription customers.
“When threat actors disrupt IT operations, people need the
ability to respond faster and more effectively. Check Point and
Infocyte facilitate Sycomp's emergency efforts, helping restore
order and safeguard our clients against future incidents,” said
Michael Anderson, Managing Director at Sycomp.
Combining Infocyte HUNT with Check Point’s Cloudguard and
Sandblast solutions gives incident responders the ability to detect
sophisticated attacks and compromised endpoints across cloud, data
center, and hybrid network environments.
“We’re excited to team up with Check Point and their partner
community and provide market-leading threat detection and incident
response capabilities,” added Curtis Hutcheson, CEO of Infocyte.
“Through our partnership, we can help more organizations
proactively detect threats, remediate them, and recover
faster.”
Members of Infocyte are joining Check Point’s Incidence Response
team in Vienna this week for CPX 360, Check Point’s annual
cybersecurity conference, and in San Francisco March 4-7 for the
RSA conference.
