Guidance Software Becomes Founding Member of Blue Coat Endpoint Alliance EcosystemGuidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID), makers of EnCase®, the gold standard for digital investigations and endpoint data security, today announced it has joined the Blue Coat (News - Alert) Alliance Ecosystem for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) as a founding member. The ecosystem was developed with Blue Coat Systems to integrate security intelligence from the Blue Coat security portfolio with EnCase® Endpoint Security from Guidance Software and complementary technologies for a more comprehensive approach to information security and incident response. "Because so much sensitive data now lives on an organization's network endpoints-such as laptops, servers, and point-of-sale devices-data security approaches must include more than network traffic analysis and antivirus," said Anthony Di Bello, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Guidance Software. "The Blue Coat Endpoint Alliance Ecosystem standardizes the integration of vital pieces of security intelligence from all important control points, and we're very pleased to be expanding our ongoing partnership with Blue Coat Systems within this Alliance." The Blue Coat Alliance Ecosystem for Endpoint Detection and Response was developed to integrate the actionable data from Blue Coat security products and complementary security products, such as EnCase Endpoint Security from Guidance Software. Benefits of the integration between Blue Coat and Guidance Software include:
"Customers need vital security data from every control point in their networks," Di Bello said. "It makes perfect sense for best-of-breed solutions from Blue Coat and Guidance Software to integrate and share intelligence to grow both our businesses and help keep organizations' intellectual assets safe."
