LightCyber's New Technology Alliance Program and Software Interface Enhance Channel Opportunities for Leading Behavioral Attack Detection SolutionsLightCyber, a leading provider of Behavioral Attack Detection solutions, today announced that its new LightCyber Technology Alliance Program (LTAP) enhances revenue opportunities for channel partners by broadening partners' security solution set and integrated services offerings. Now, channel partners can add greater value and increase ASPs by integrating the LightCyber Magna™ platform with other leading security products, such as the HPE ArcSight (News - Alert) ESM Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), the Check Point Next Generation Threat Prevention Solutions, Palo Alto Networks' Next Generation Firewalls and Gigamom GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform. The resulting solution provides greater security intelligence and remediation options for channel partners' customers to protect their networks. "The LightCyber Technology Alliance Program enables customers to get greater leverage from their existing security products as well as from the LightCyber Magna platform," said Stephen Harrison, chief executive officer and managing partner, Ever-Sec Group, Inc. "LTAP is particularly vital, because LightCyber is attentive not only to frictionless integration but to its use towards producing greater utility and value." The emphasis of LTAP is to facilitate interoperability with other important products or technologies; to create or utilize APIs enabling necessary communication and functionality; to educate about joint solutions and capabilities; and to promote best practices and streamline implementation. LTAP enables channel partners to make their solution sets more valuable for customers by tying other security tools closer to the Magna platform for sharing information and enacting responses. The program and new software Application Program Interface (API) increase the value of a channel customer's investments in their existing security solutions by promoting better interoperability-from data ingest, through attack detection, to remedition and response. Through LTAP, the LightCyber Magna platform interoperates with a broad ecosystem of products. "The LTAP has been received well in the channel because it improves the value proposition of what partners are selling by allowing their customers to do more, more easily and have better security, while getting additional value from corresponding security tools," said Jason Matlof, executive vice president, LightCyber. "We had some long-standing technology integrations before, but now a formalized program and established APIs will increase the number of options channel partners can offer, further establishing the channel's value and relationship with their customers." The API and associated documentation and examples are available immediately and will greatly extend the ability of channel partners to customize and integrate Magna with their security offerings. LightCyber will introduce other APIs as necessary to meet customer needs. Magna also supports some existing public and vendor APIs for integration with SIEMs, next generation firewalls and authentication systems.
