Combined Solution Helps Customers Discover
Active Infections and Proactively Establish Policy-Driven
Enforcement in Response to Threats
Damballa, the experts in network security monitoring, today
announced its Failsafe threat detection platform now integrates
with Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP), the largest
pure-play security vendor globally to help customers identify and
mitigate external threats at the earliest possible stage. With this
integration, customers of Check Point will be able to leverage
Damballa Failsafe to discover active infections, notify Check Point
of suspected infected devices, and identify whether communication
attempts are being made with a command and control (C&C)
server.
“Check Point has established a reputation in the market for
implementing proactive and preventative technologies to block
malware before it wreaks havoc in a company’s network,” said Steve
Laubenstein, VP, Business Development & Strategic Partnerships.
“With this integration, customers of Check Point can take advantage
of Damballa’s highly sophisticated threat detection system, which
is based on years of machine learning as well as the industry’s
largest data set, to automate their response to a breach of their
network. We are confident that our combined solutions will enable
customers to rapidly pinpoint infections and reduce the time to
remediation.”
Damballa Failsafe leverages a distributed computing
architecture that enables the seamless addition of powerful new
detection modules, ease of integration with other security
technologies, and more efficient processing power. As a result,
enterprises can ‘future-proof’ their threat detection platform to
deal with current and emerging threats.
The integration of Damballa and Check Point works in the
following manner:
1. Damballa Failsafe discovers an infected device, suspected
device and/or active C&C domains 2. Damballa Failsafe
notifies Check Point of device state and identified C&C
communication attempts 3. Check Point implements policies
based on device state (suspected or infected) information (i.e.,
block infected assets from communicating to internet and/or
high-value assets, enhance logging on suspected assets) 4.
Check Point blocks active C&C communication attempts identified
by Failsafe
“Customers of all sizes worldwide rely on Check Point for
leading edge protection technologies,” said Alon Kantor, vice
president of business development at Check Point. “By utilizing
Damballa’s intelligence to find devices communicating with known
C&C infrastructure, Check Point can seamlessly update network
policy and reduce the time it takes for organizations to address
the latest threats to their environments.”
