Cyphort partners with Juniper Networks over security

Cyphort, recently announced that it is working with Juniper Networks to integrate its Advanced Threat Defense Platform (ATDP) with the Juniper Networks Spotlight Secure open threat intelligence platform. The technology partnership will create a enterprise solution allowing customers to detect and mitigate advanced threats that avoid traditional signature-based detection, and update protection policies on the Juniper Networks SRX series services gateways firewall.

Cyphort enables security teams to quickly and accurately determine the existence and severity of targeted attack with threat priority-based mitigation techniques. With Cyphort’s Advanced Threat Defense Software Platform, enterprises can detect persistent threats in real-time, and immediately implement containment strategies with  visibility, flexibility, and scalability across the network.

When identifying advanced threats, the Cyphort platform generates threat containment data, including IP addresses, IPS signatures, and website URLs that enterprise customers can implement within their security infrastructure to stop malware activity at the perimeter. Through integration with Juniper’s Spotlight Secure threat intelligence platform, Cyphort’s ATDP will automatically push IP addresses to block targeted attacks in real-time and directly to SRX management control points, which then inform SRX enforcement points in less than 60 seconds.

“This integration will allow us to provide enforcement coverage from advanced threats for enterprise customers at scale,” said Jeremy Carlson, senior director of business development, Cyphort. “The need for payload analysis to share data with gateway equipment for enforcement is becoming critical in the current enterprise threat landscape, where signature based approaches are necessary but no longer sufficient and every attack is targeted.”

Gateway protection using signature-based technologies is essential, however enterprise networks need more protection as the attacks have become so targeted that each enterprise can get specific tailored malware.
