A10 Networks and Cylance have\u00a0announced a technology partnership designed to enhance cyber security for individual endpoints and users from the data centre to the cloud by incorporating cutting-edge advanced threat protection for encrypted traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of this OEM agreement between the two companies, announced at the Black Hat USA 2016 event in Las Vegas, the Cylance anti-malware engine will be embedded into A10 Networks\u2019\u00a0SSL Insight<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Thunder Convergent Firewall (CFW)<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership\u2019s significance is marked by customers challenged in securing their networks due to malicious attacks hiding within encrypted web and email traffic\u2014 traffic that traditional security methods do not properly address. Newer security technologies, such as detonation of executable files, are effective for deep analysis but are not optimised for rapid block\/allow decisions in network use cases. Additionally, the proliferation of dynamic content and unknown threats have also made traditional signature-based antivirus nearly obsolete and of little value.<\/span><\/p>\n

This OEM agreement incorporates technology from A10 Networks and\u00a0Cylance. The agreement will also expand A10 Networks\u2019 security solution capabilities, enhancing security for endpoints and network services by offering an additional layer of protection in the network to predict and prevent malware and advanced threats with artificial intelligence-based file classification.<\/span><\/p>\n

The combined A10 Networks and Cylance solution aims to fill the security gap by bringing together the best of secure application network technology with proactive prevention and detection of advanced persistent threats and malware. CylancePROTECT is an ideal complement for A10 Networks\u2019 Thunder SSLi and CFW solutions, which offer very high-speed SSL decryption for end-user traffic, protection against malware even when encrypted and protection for incoming and outgoing email traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than a decade, A10 Networks has engineered our products to deliver secure, agile application networking technologies,\u201d said Gunter Reiss, vice president, strategic alliances, A10 Networks. \u201cCylance’s novel next-gen AV will augment the innovative A10 Thunder SSLi and Thunder CFW solutions to offer increased security for governments, gaming companies, healthcare providers, financial institutions and other markets facing critical security threats.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith A10 Networks and Cylance as technology partners, customers can take advantage of next-generation anti-malware threat prevention at both the endpoint and the perimeter,\u201d said Joel Bauman, vice president of corporate and business development at Cylance. \u201cCylance is pleased to partner with A10 Networks to provide a solution that not only delivers cutting-edge anti-malware capability through predictive artificial intelligence, but also acts to complement and optimise A10 customers\u2019 existing investments in other security tools and processes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected to be available in early 2017, the integrated solution will be available as a subscription service to A10 customers and will offer:<\/span><\/p>\n
