eCybersec and FireEye join forces to help local firms tackle advanced cyber attacks
View(s):eCybersec, a leading information security consulting company, last week said it has joined forces with FireEye, the leader in stopping today’s advanced cyber attacks, to provide FireEye offerings to organisations in Sri Lanka.The partnership combines the expertise of eCybersec in IT security and consulting with the benefits of the FireEye threat protection platform. As a result, organisations can take advantage of eCybersec’s extensive knowledge of the threat landscape and industry best practices, and realise the benefits of FireEye solutions for greater threat protection and better threat management, the company said in a media release.
Sanjee Balasuriya, Managing Director, CEO and Founder of eCybersec, said, “This partnership with FireEye plays an important role in addressing Sri Lanka’s information security challenges. By tapping technology, threat intelligence and expertise from FireEye, we are helping organisations dramatically improve their defensive capabilities. This is a critical time for cyber security in Sri Lanka when firms are increasing reliant on technology and exposed to attacks from beyond our borders”.
Terrance Maximus Tangit, Country Manager for Vietnam, Indonesia and New Markets at FireEye, said, “As more organisations in Sri Lanka move online and become more engaged in international commerce, they become more exposed to targeted cyber attacks. This year alone, FireEye has publicly revealed the work of two advanced persistent threat groups mounting campaigns against South Asia. Organisations need to have the ability to detect and respond to advanced cyber attacks. Legacy security solutions won’t cut it.”
