Blue Hexagon Announces Integration With Carbon Black to Set New Standard for Accelerated Threat Prevention

Blue Hexagon’s real-time deep learning network threat protection
platform delivers tight integration with Carbon Black to block files,
stop patient zero and prevent lateral movement

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RSA CONFERENCE– Blue
Hexagon
, a deep learning innovator, today announced an integration
with Carbon
Black
, a leading provider of cloud delivered next-generation
endpoint security as part of the Carbon
Black Integration Network (CBIN)
.

By combining Blue Hexagon’s real-time threat detection platform and
Carbon Black’s ubiquitous endpoint enforcement capabilities, the
integration aims to deliver a level of protection against malware
attacks that sets a new standard for security.

“The industry sees anywhere from 300,000 to 1 million new malware
variants each day– a speed and volume of attacks that is overwhelming
traditional signature– and sandbox-based perimeter defenses. Blue
Hexagon’s deep learning-based approach to network threat protection can
prevent attacks from getting through– in less than a second. When
combined with a complementary endpoint security solution like Carbon
Black, a network threat can quickly be prevented on endpoints,” said
Saumitra Das, Blue Hexagon CTO.

Blue Hexagon’s real-time deep learning platform is deployed at the
network ingress to inspect the complete network flow for threats–
payloads, headers, URLs and C2 communications. As soon as network
threats are detected by Blue Hexagon (in less than a second),
organizations can immediately orchestrate prevention near real-time via
the integration with Carbon Black. Endpoints protected by Carbon Black
will then block malicious files and protect the endpoint against the
impending threat, including the exploit and execution of unknown malware.

“A robust threat prevention solution must incorporate both network and
endpoint security,” said Tom Barsi, Carbon Black’s Senior Vice President
of Business Development. “The Blue Hexagon real-time deep learning
platform works seamlessly with Carbon Black to respond to attacks.”

The Blue Hexagon network threat detection platform, powered by deep
learning, integration with Carbon Black to:

  • Enable threat detection and prevention to be orchestrated in near real-time,
    keeping malware out of the network and reducing dwell time.
  • Block and remove malicious files, preventing patient zero and
    further lateral movement
    , without needing to wait for files to be
    executed on the endpoint.
  • Deliver both network and endpoint threat insights and indicators of
    compromise
    for security analysts.
