GEC NEWS WIREFireEye revealed that FireEye iSIGHT threat intelligence is now accessible to Microsoft customers through Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection, a new service that helps enterprises detect, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks on their networks. As part of their subscription to WDATP, Microsoft enterprise customers gain valuable insight about the threat actors that are targeting them, helping improve their security posture and prioritize identified threats strengthening their overall situational awareness.
WDATP customers have access to a set of FireEye-iSIGHT technical indicators, or IoCs (Indicators of Compromise) that enable WDATP to alert when these indicators are found on their customers’ computers or networks and then display a profile of the involved attacker.
“FireEye has invested in nation-state grade threat intelligence and we are strategically partnering with industry leaders to operationalize this high-quality intel,” said Ken Gonzalez, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at FireEye. “By working with Microsoft we’re able to offer differentiated threat intelligence within WDATP and together help make organizations more secure.”
Moti Gindi, GM, Windows Cyber Defense said, “As two security leaders working together, the combined Microsoft and FireEye adversary-based security intelligence ensures WDATP detections can provide the right context needed to prepare for and simplify response to attacks.”
