Bit9 + Carbon Black extends reach in UAE

DUBAI, December 24, 2014

Bit9 + Carbon Black, a leader in endpoint threat prevention, detection and response, recently showcased its Carbon Black, an advanced endpoint threat detection and response solution, which is generating high interest in the UAE market.

The solution’s real-time detection and response capabilities were also highlighted during the event through the presentation delivered by Dell SecureWorks, which uses Carbon Black in its Advanced Endpoint Threat Detection (AETD) managed service.

The seminar presented how Carbon Black delivers continuous monitoring and recording of all activities on endpoints and servers, customising detection, and responding to network intrusions in seconds.

Bit9 + Carbon Black highlighted how organisations regardless of size can further fortify their cyber defenses through Carbon Black.  

Aquib Aftab, regional director, said: “The seminar comes at a time when the Middle East is steadily moving towards smart services and inter-connectivity to catch up with a highly technology-centric world. The region has been experiencing serious security threats targeting government entities, businesses and individuals at an alarmingly increasing rate.

“Security breaches can cause extensive major financial, privacy and intellectual property losses as well as reputation problems. It is, therefore, important to shield ourselves from such online intrusions, and we believe that the battleground is at the endpoint.”

“Carbon Black reduces the cost and complexity of incident response by replacing ‘after-the-fact’ manual data acquisition with continuous monitoring and recording of all activity on endpoints and servers,” said Aftab.

“Our collaboration with Dell SecureWorks helps its clients significantly reinforce their online defenses. We look forward to forming partnerships with other organizations in the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries as we continuously intensify our initiatives against cyber attacks in the region and the rest of the world,” he added.

Mark Morland, regional sales director, Dell SecureWorks, said: “Some of the most serious cyber breaches to date are a result of organisations having one or more of their endpoints compromised.  

“Cyber criminals continue to perfect their tactics and procedures, enabling them to avoid many of today’s cyber defenses. Therefore, it is critical that organisations employ comprehensive and robust network security, as well as ‘always-on’ 24x7 Endpoint Security.” - TradeArabia News Service
