Accellion and FireEye Collaborate to Prevent Cyber Attacks From Crippling Critical Business OperationsPALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accellion, Inc., provider of the secure content communication platform that prevents data breaches and compliance violations from third party cyber risk, today announced it is working with intelligence-led security company FireEye to help organizations protect their PII, PHI, and IP from cyber attacks. The Accellion secure content communication platform lets CISOs leverage their security investments in HSM, ATP, DLP, SIEM, LDAP/AD and other technologies to see, secure, and control the exchange of IP, PII, and PHI across all third party communication channels. These security integrations now include FireEye Malware Analysis and FireEye Detection on Demand. Cyber attacks frequently occur when unsuspecting employees open a file containing malware that infects an organization’s systems and disrupts business operations. Accellion now routes every email attachment, video, image, or other file from a third party through FireEye Malware Analysis for a thorough forensic analysis. If the file is deemed safe to open, the Accellion platform delivers it to the recipient. If the file contains malware, however, Accellion automatically quarantines the file and both the system administrator and file sender are notified. The same process occurs when an end user uploads a file to a connected on-premise or cloud based content system such as Box, OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive. The Accellion platform lets organizations strike the right balance between privacy, compliance, scalability, and costs with flexible deployment options including: on-premise, private cloud, hybrid, and FedRAMP authorized virtual private cloud. FireEye customers also benefit from this deployment flexibility. Joint customers with a private or hybrid cloud deployment leverage the same forensic analysis capabilities as FireEye Malware Analysis but with Detection on Demand. In addition, the FireEye security operations platform, Helix, is now integrated with the Accellion platform. Every event that occurs on the Accellion platform, including malware scans, file uploads, downloads, and other activities is exported into FireEye Helix. This lets CISOs and their security teams identify true threats leveraging FireEye’s next generation Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and non-malware-based detection capabilities. Once in Helix, CISOs and their security teams cross reference event activity with oter correlated data to perform core security activities like alert management, search, analysis, investigations and reporting. “Our customers demand integrations that will strengthen their ecosystem, protect them from evil faster, and help deliver the greatest benefits from their products,” said Grady Summers, executive vice president for products and customer success at FireEye. “This integration provides our mutual customers faster visibility into known and unknown threats that may exist within their content, so they can stop a cyber attack before it begins. With a shared interest in protecting organizations and their data, we look forward to working with Accellion.” Together, joint Accellion and FireEye customers can:
“Organizations today are highly susceptible to a cyber attack and the risk increases incrementally as organizations add more third parties to their digital supply chains,” said Laureen Smith, Accellion’s global vice president of strategic partnerships. “We’re thrilled to work with FireEye and help organizations defend their customer data, intellectual property, and other crown jewels against the most advanced forms of malware.” To learn how Accellion allows organizations to leverage their ATP and SIEM investments, as well as other pieces of their security infrastructure, visit: security integrations.
