HP unveils new solutions for enterprise security

NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP has announced new solutions and services that enable organizations to proactively share threat intelligence and openly collaborate as an industry to combat the growing ecosystem of adversaries.

With organizations in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) experiencing cyber-crimes caused by malicious insiders, denial of service and web-based attacks that they are unable to stop due to outdated or insufficient threat intelligence, enterprises need to strengthen their security posture to defend their organizations.

"Advanced attack techniques and collaboration in the criminal market place is fuelling an increased rate of costly security breaches in APJ," said Jyoti Prakash, country director - HP ESP (India & SAARC countries).

"Crowd-sourced threat intelligence from our vast community of customers, partners and researchers is essential in this battle against cybercrime. By sharing actionable intelligence through our solutions, expertise and best practices, organizations can more effectively address the new threat environment," he said.

The platform is now strengthened with the introduction of the HP Threat Central Partner Network, a collaboration of security vendors sharing threat intelligence across the industry to combat adversaries. HP is initially working with partners including Arbor Networks, Blue Coat Systems, InQuest, ThreatGRID, TrendMicro and Wapack Labs, to deliver strategic threat intelligence and actionable indicators to the HP Threat Central community.

"Chief information security officers (CISOs) and other senior-level security professionals must be able to plan not only for threats that exist now, but also for those that may emerge in as much as three years' time or beyond," wrote Rob McMillian, research director, and Kelly Kavanagh, principal research analyst, Gartner.
