The companies’ collaborative cloud-native XDR solution is set to increase the speed and efficacy of defence against cyberattacks across the world.
Cybereason, an operation-centric cyber attack protection firm, and Google Cloud today announced a collaboration to create and bring to market significant Extended Detection and Response (XDR) assets across endpoints, networks, cloud and workspaces at record-setting speed.
Cybereason analyzes more than 23 trillion security-related events per week, according to the company. Using its patented Malicious Operations (MalOps™) engine, Cybereason reveals the full history of attacks across every device, user identity, application and cloud deployment. Google Cloud’s cybersecurity analytics platform, Chronicle, ingests, normalizes, and analyzes petabytes of data from across the world.
Automated defence
The result of the collaboration, the companies claim, will be a cloud-native XDR solution, Cybereason XDR powered by Chronicle, that automates prevention of common attacks, and guides analysts through security operations and incident response, and enables threat hunting with precision and speed.
“Google Cloud’s ability to hunt through petabytes of data at the speed of search, combined with Cybereason’s revolutionary correlation capabilities and behavior-based detections delivers unparalleled speed and accuracy in the prevention, detection, and response of advanced attacks,” said Cybereason CEO and co-founder Lior Div. “We founded Cybereason with a mission to reverse the attacker’s advantage and return the high ground to the defender, and we are excited to have Google Cloud partner with us in furthering the success of this mission.”
Cybereason has experienced significant growth over the last year and has successfully protected customers against a range of headline-making attacks including SolarWinds, the Microsoft Exchange Server attacks, and crippling ransomware attacks from DarkSide, REvil and other ransomware gangs. The company was recognised at the CNBC 2021 Disruptor 50 list, and received top scores across every aspect of testing in the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations.
