Eset, a global leader in cybersecurity, has partnered with Chronicle, an Alphabet company, to provide essential validation on security incidents and alerts within Backstory, a global cloud service by Chronicle.

Backstory allows companies to privately upload, store, and analyse their internal security telemetry to detect and investigate potential attacks.

Eset said its partnership with Backstory will provide customers enhanced insight enabling better protection from advanced persistent threats.

With more than 30 years of cybersecurity innovation, Eset protects over 110 million users in 200 countries and territories globally, said a company statement.

Almost 40 per cent of Eset’s employees work in research and development, keeping both the company’s customers and the world at large safe from the latest and most advanced cyberthreats, it stated.

Eset’s threat intelligence data blocks targeted attacks, protects against phishing, stops botnets and detects advanced persistent threats, it added.

Tony Anscombe, global security evangelist and industry ambassador, Eset, said:  “Our partnership with Chronicle will lead to simpler, faster and more streamlined remediation of advanced persistent cyber threats.”

“Together, customers will be able to quickly understand incidents in more detail, take the appropriate actions and stay one step ahead of bad actors. This truly will make the world a safer place,” he added.

Ansh Patnaik, chief product officer, Chronicle, said: “We are thrilled to bring onboard Eset as an Insight Partner.”

“As a global platform designed to analyse enterprise security telemetry, Backstory provides more value to customers when it’s integrated with other key technologies within the customers’ networks. We believe our collaboration with Eset gives customers a broader, more accurate view of threats within their networks,” Patnaik added.-TradeArabia News Service
