Integrated Malware Analysis Gives Israeli Security Company and Its Customers the Advantage in Battle Against Cybercrime
CLEARWATER, FL–(Marketwired – October 17, 2013) – ThreatTrack Security today announced a partnership with Re-Sec Technologies, an enterprise security firm based in Israel. Re-Sec will integrate ThreatTrack Security’s ThreatAnalyzer malware analysis sandbox technology into its MachineSafe security platform.
MachineSafe uses multiple antivirus engines to defend Re-Sec customers — including institutions in the Israeli financial sector — against a broad array of malicious threats. With ThreatAnalyzer, Rec-Sec will complement their automated malware analysis by providing an additional layer of cyber defense, enabling its customers to identify malware evading traditional signature-based detections.
“Re-Sec recognizes that antivirus detection alone is not enough when it comes to combating today’s advanced threats,” said Julian Waits, Sr., CEO of ThreatTrack Security. “By integrating ThreatAnalyzer into MachineSafe, they are able to provide their customers with the same cyber-defense technology that has become a critical component of the U.S. cybersecurity infrastructure. Re-Sec customers are in a region of the world that is rife with international tensions and cyber-espionage, and they are answering the call for more robust defenses by incorporating the best malware analysis sandbox into their platform.”
ThreatAnalyzer enables organizations to better defend themselves against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), targeted attacks and Zero-day threats by analyzing files and URLs for malicious activity in a monitored environment to determine how they execute, the system changes they make and the network traffic they generate. Armed with this malware behavior analysis, organizations can identify and eliminate these advanced threats from their network.
“Adding malware analysis to our MachineSafe platform helps us deliver a product unlike any other,” said Oren Shnitzer, CEO of Re-Sec Technologies. “The financial sector is an obvious target for increasingly savvy and sophisticated cybercriminals, which is why it was critical for us to back up our comprehensive AV scanning capabilities with a next generation malware analysis sandbox like ThreatAnalyzer. MachineSafe will deliver more robust protection and confidence to our customers knowing they are defended against the latest online threats.”
