Atos First to Offer Global Prescriptive Threat Detection and Instantaneous Remediation
November 2016 by Marc Jacob
Atos has announced a new managed security service provider (MSSP) partnership with Intel Security. Through its technological brand Bull, Atos will leverage its dominance in Big Data analytics to provide the first ever managed offering built to deliver the McAfee “Threat Defense Lifecycle” as a cloud, on-premise or hybrid service.
Amid an exciting digital revolution known as the Second Economy, that brings with it countless innovative and connected devices, is the explosion in volume and complexity of threats targeted at both businesses and individuals. The Atos and Intel Security global partnership enables groundbreaking advancements in integration, automation and orchestration by combining McAfee technologies with the high powered computing (HPC) of Atos’ bullion server.
Beyond just excellent intelligence, Atos is uniquely capable of enhancing automation and achieving orchestration of security processes enabling the first prescriptive-security service that can thwart attacks before they happen.
Atos leverages its bullion servers’ record-breaking compute power, patented elasticity and unmatched scalability to help customers achieve prescriptive security. This new bullion-based appliance is optimized for big data analytics to analyze and correlate the growing volumes of structured and unstructured data, to preemptively reinforce security controls and to neutralize cyberattacks even before they reach the organization’s environment.
The service will be ready in early 2017 and provides all the adaptive, self-learning and protection capabilities of the integrated McAfee® solution that uses a common management environment, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (McAfee ePO™) and real-time communication over an open application framework, the McAfee® Data Exchange Layer (DXL). The open framework also allows Atos customers’ non-McAfee security products to plug into and benefit from the adaptive learning cycle.
The offering features the following Intel Security products and technologies:
• McAfee® Enterprise Security Manager (Security Information and Event Management)
• McAfee® Endpoint Security
• McAfee® Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE)
• McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense (ATD)
• McAfee® Active Response (MAR)
• McAfee® Data Exchange Layer (DXL)
