Certified Integrated Solutions Deliver Active Defense and Accelerated
Incident Response Through Threat Intelligence Sharing

FREMONT, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) Attivo Networks , the award-winning leader in cybersecurity

threat detection, today announced that it has achieved technical

integration of the ThreatDefend Deception and Response platform with

McAfee Data Exchange Layer (DXL). Through this partnership, Attivo

Networks and McAfee address a rising need to close in-network detection

gaps, shorten incident response times, and quickly and easily remediate

compromised systems, leading to a simplified

Threat

. This latest integration complements existing

certifications with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, McAfee Enterprise

Security Manager, and McAfee Network Security Platform.

As a member of the

McAfee

, Attivo Networks plays a critical role

in the program’s mission to accelerate the development of interoperable

security products and to simplify the integration of these products

within complex customer environments, bringing greater value to joint

customers. This also provides organizations with security solutions that

protect data and stop threats from device to cloud using an open,

proactive, and intelligence-driven approach.

“The threat landscape is constantly shifting and cyberattackers are

becoming increasingly prevalent and sophisticated. With that, it is

critical for organizations to be proactive in their approach to

cybersecurity,” said Tushar Kothari, CEO of Attivo Networks. “This

partnership provides organizations with the tools to implement a

proactive defense, effectively reducing integration complexity,

streamlining threat intelligence sharing, accelerating incident

response, and strengthening overall defenses against advanced attackers.”

“After a rigorous certification process, organizations can now share

valuable threat intelligence collected by the ThreatDefend platform with

other DXL-compliant solutions,” said D.J. Long, vice president of

strategic business development at McAfee. “This facilitates the rapid

sharing of critical threat intelligence and shrinks the time to detect,

contain, and remediate in-network threats early and accurately.

Additionally, threat intelligence sharing can be used to bolster an

organization’s overall security infrastructure and help combat modern

cyberthreats across all attack surfaces.”

The ThreatDefend platform delivers early and accurate in-network threat

detection, and unlike other detection solutions, offers rich threat and

adversary intelligence. The platform works by creating decoys that

appear as production assets and by creating deceptive credentials on the

endpoint designed to redirect attacks into a deception environment. Any

engagement with the deception environment will result in a high-fidelity

alert and collection of threat intelligence. Through the deception

environment’s collection of attack forensics, organizations gain

valuable insight into attacker intent and threat intelligence required

for blocking attacks, threat hunting, and returning adversary mitigation.

When combined with McAfee DXL, an open software development kit that

dramatically reduces integration complexity and facilitates information

sharing, organizations benefit from the ability to quickly and easily

share intelligence across more than 100 security integrations in the DXL

ecosystem. As a result, any DXL partner solution can take advantage of

the deception technology detections, forensic information, network

visibility, and threat intelligence IOCs that the ThreatDefend platform

delivers.
