Cutting-edge solution plays a key role in fighting sophisticated & sustained cyber attacks in the Middle East
65 per cent of data breaches happen in company endpoints
Bit9 + Carbon Black, the leader in endpoint threat prevention, detection and response, will emphasize anew the need for proactive and continuous monitoring and recording of all activities on endpoints and servers to prevent data breaches during Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference (GISEC) 2015, the latest edition of the Middle East's largest annual information and communications technology (ICT) event. The company will showcase the newest capabilities of Carbon Black, the leading endpoint threat detection and response platform, and its role in the fight against sophisticated and sustained cyber attacks in the region.
At GISEC 2015, taking place from April 26 to 28, 2015 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Bit9 + Carbon Black will demonstrate Carbon Black, the first and only endpoint threat detection and response platform that enables security operations center (SOC) and incident response (IR) teams to prepare for a data breach through continuous endpoint recording, customized detection, live response, remediation, and threat banning. The cutting-edge solution also enables companies to rapidly respond to an incident by instantly isolating endpoint threats, terminating attacks, and remediating endpoints. These can be done through a remote connection to any endpoint.
David Flower, managing director - EMEA, Bit9 + Carbon Black, said: "The solution plays a crucial role especially in light of growing incidents of data breaches in the region. In the UAE, more than 90 per cent of ICT decision-makers in companies ranging from 500 to 3,000 employees believe that their organizations will be attacked in 2015 and 2016. About 65 per cent of data breaches happen in company endpoints, where the most valuable data resides. These figures should be a wake-up call for any company to strengthen their capabilities in warding off these online threats which can result in substantial financial and data losses."
"GISEC 2015 is the perfect platform for all stakeholders to comprehensively discuss many digital challenges we are facing today. Aside from enabling us to showcase our enhanced Carbon Black, the exhibition and conference also offers us significant learning and networking opportunities, which are essential to our efforts to strengthen our presence in the GCC especially in the UAE market," Flower added.
Organizations can stay one step ahead of cyber criminals by rolling out Carbon Black solution. With its prevention, detection, and live response capabilities, including the one-button host isolation, the cutting-edge system leverages contextual intelligence to quickly identify threats, reduce dwell time and stop data exfiltration.
