FireEye Introduces New Cloud Security Solution, iboss Strategic Partnership, and Availability on AWS Marketplace


FireEye (News - Alert) Cyber Defense Summit - FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security company, today introduced new cloud security capabilities at its annual Cyber Defense Summit, including a strategic partnership with iboss, and availability on Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) Marketplace.

"The rapid adoption of cloud services has provided organizations with a world of new opportunities. But with new opportunities come new cyber threats. These days, more than half of the breaches we respond to involve cloud infrastructures," said Grady Summers, EVP of Products & Customer Success at FireEye. "Today we announce new capabilities that will empower organizations to protect the assets and workloads they're running in the cloud. Delivered as a service, our best-in-class threat detection, intelligence, and protection are now accessible to any customer regardless of location, whether they're in the cloud or a hybrid environment. We're also making our threat detection available to third-parties to aid in the creation of custom web apps, as no two organizations' paths to the cloud are paved the same."

The Power of FireEye Technology and Intelligence, Extended by the Cloud

Cloud-borne threats are unique in their nature. Too often, organizations lack the necessary controls and expertise to extend their visibility and protection across complex multi-cloud infrastructures. These releases extend the power of FireEye technology and intelligence through a cloud-based architecture for scalable detection, centralized visibility, configuration monitoring, and user behavior analytics. Working seamlessly, these capabilities empower organizations to identify advanced attacks that bypass traditional defenses. Moreover, FireEye now offers protection for virtually all common deployment scenarios, including inline and passive, on-premises, hybrid, and virtual.

Now available, the FireEye® Cloud Security Solution includes capabilities accessible through new cloud versions of FireEye Network Security, new Detection On Demand, a new secure web gateway offering with iboss, as well as the enhanced FireEye Helix™ security operations platform.

Securing from the Cloud with FireEye Detection On Demand

For organizations looking to analyze untrusted content for potential threats, FireEye Detection On Demand offers a cloud-native service that provides a flexible and easy way to pinpoint file-borne threats. Detection On Demand can be integrated into custom applications, utilized in third-party technology, or used on a standalone basis. Similar to other FireEye solutions, Detection On Demand is designed to provide customers with detailed information as to why the content has been flagged as malicious, using insights gained from FireEye Threat Intelligence experts. This gives organizations the information needed to best know how to remediate malicious content. With its flexible deployment options, Detection On Demand allows customers to apply FireEye leading threat detection capabilities in conjunction with existing third-party, as well as FireEye business critical security tools. For developers, FireEye also announces the newly launched Developer Hub, which makes FireEye leading capabilities such as Detection On Demand accessible as a flexible and scalable security layer that can be applied to any cloud application or service.

FireEye Detection On Demand is available as a yearly subscription on AWS Marketplace.



Further Securing the Cloud with FireEye Network Security on AWS

For enhanced threat protection and data breach prevention in any virtual cloud environments, FireEye Virtual Network Security is now available on AWS Marketplace.


The expanded use of decentralized infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platforms has led to new challenges in protecting organizations in the cloud. When faced with new tactics, such as ransomware, web shells, and targeted malware, off-premises cloud IT infrastructures often render traditional defenses obsolete.

FireEye Virtual Network Security works natively within AWS, allowing customers to extend existing defenses into their cloud data centers, while simultaneously adding additional, server-focused protections to their workloads. As a result, organizations are able to analyze and block traffic with the same level of detail as though it were on-premises.

FireEye Virtual Network Security is available as a yearly subscription on AWS Marketplace.
