GEC NEWS WIREFireEye is making several enhancements to its endpoint security solution designed to offer unparalleled protection from threats missed by legacy and next-generation endpoint solutions. Utilizing the behavioral analysis capabilities of Exploit Guard, Endpoint Security now adds the prevention capabilities needed to quickly detect and respond to threats against Microsoft Windows. With this latest release, FireEye Endpoint Security also adds support for Mac OS endpoints.
These exploit prevention capabilities are the first of several major, no-cost upgrades for FireEye Endpoint Security customers in 2017, providing them a comprehensive Endpoint Protection Platform. Additional enhancements will include industry-leading anti-virus capabilities for known malware protection, virtual and cloud form factors, expanded behavioral analysis and machine learning capabilities to protect against unknown malware and exploits, and Linux support for server coverage.
“The endpoint has always been the most reliable source of truth for us and our customers” said Kevin Mandia, CEO, FireEye.
“FireEye is focused on developing a complete solution for our customers that reduces the multitude of agents running on their endpoints” said Grady Summers, CTO, FireEye.
Endpoint Security incorporates the intelligence-led detection and prevention capabilities that FireEye is well-known for in Network Security and applies these capabilities to the exploit prevention functionality in Endpoint Security. This approach complements FireEye’s leading EDR capabilities and enables faster incident response for our customers.
“Our endpoint solution gives our partners the best technology and a simplified sales process that demonstrates the value of working with FireEye,” said Chris Carter, VP of channels at FireEye.
