GEC NEWS WIREAkamai Technologies introduced Enterprise Threat Protector. The new solution is designed to provide customers quick-to-deploy and easy-to-manage cloud-based protection against the impact of complex targeted threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing and DNS-based data exfiltration.
Akamai’s Enterprise Threat Protector is designed specifically to address the “intelligence gap” in DNS infrastructure. Using threat data gathered through Akamai’s Cloud Security Intelligence capabilities, Enterprise Threat Protector layers critical intelligence onto a company’s recursive DNS requests, preventing users from accessing malicious domains and lowering risk for businesses of all sizes. The value of Enterprise Threat Protector comes from the solution’s ability to better determine the “intent” of a DNS request from the enterprise.
According to Fidel Perez, the company’s Director of Enterprise Architecture and Performance, “An important element of our commitment to our guests is doing everything in our power to safeguard their personal information. Our use of Enterprise Threat Protector adds a powerful layer of intelligent security, across all our shoreside office locations and cruise ships, to ensure we’re doing all we can to protect the company, our employees and our guests from complex, targeted attacks.”
“Akamai’s Enterprise Threat Protector simplifies security by giving the enterprise effective protection against malware and DNS threats that can be self-integrated and operates at a global scale” said Christina Richmond, program director, IDC Security Services.
“With Enterprise Threat Protector, we’re providing our customers with a powerful, intelligent solution that can help detect and stop targeted attacks in their tracks” explained John Summers, VP and GM, Enterprise Products, Akamai.
