Perforce and Interset Deliver Industry’s First Intellectual Property Threat Detection Integrated with Source Code and Content Management
March 2015 by Marc Jacob
Perforce Software and Interset announced Perforce Helix Threat Detection, a security solution for the Perforce Helix source code management (SCM) and content collaboration platform. The jointly developed solution quickly and accurately identifies internal and external security risks related to intellectual property managed in Perforce Helix.
Helix Threat Detection uses sophisticated behavioural analytics patented by Interset to monitor interactions with source code, product designs and related assets managed in Perforce Helix. Interactions receive a risk score, generating alerts that indicate high-risk activities, users, machines, projects, and data.
Early customers have demonstrated the ROI of Perforce Helix Threat Detection. Examples include detection of attempts to steal source code by employees in the process of leaving a company; detection of contractors attempting to access unauthorised projects and data; and detection of external agents using compromised accounts to access internal files.
Helix Threat Detection eliminates reliance on rules-based thresholds and simplifies configuration and deployment. A plain-language user interface enables IT, engineering and security teams to quickly understand their greatest IP risks and why, all with minimal training.
Helix Threat Detection is sold and supported by Perforce and is available immediately as part of Helix Enterprise.
