FireEye has introduced FireEye\u00a0Helix<\/b><\/a>, a platform it says will simplify, integrate, and automate security operations for organisations of all sizes and industries. This intelligence-led platform unifies network, endpoint and third-party product visibility with FireEye iSIGHT\u00a0<\/sup>Intelligence and Mandiant expertise.<\/p>\n

FireEye Helix is designed to dramatically reduce the time, effort, and cost associated with managing low quality or false alerts from traditional security offerings like next generation firewalls, endpoint, and intrusion prevention systems. FireEye Helix launches<\/b><\/a> with a limited early adopter program today, and will be generally available in late Q1 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter my more than two decades responding to many of the largest breaches in the world, it is clear that threats have evolved to actively exploit the detection and process failures in security operations that slow response,\u201d said Kevin Mandia, CEO, FireEye. \u201cFireEye Helix is a revolutionary approach that builds on our best in class detection solutions and investments in Mandiant, iSIGHT Partners, and Invotas, creating the first intelligence-led platform that enables simple, integrated, and automated security operations from the cloud or on-premise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business benefits of moving IT resources to the cloud \u2013 efficiency, agility and reduced costs \u2013 often overshadow the risks and unintended consequences that follow cloud adoption,\u201d said Rob Ayoub, Research Director at IDC. \u201cTherefore it becomes imperative businesses deploy advanced security solutions that provide flexible, agile, and distributive protection at a low cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

The security operations experience today is disjointed, with alerts generated across dozens of low fidelity products and siloed management consoles that lack the contextual intelligence needed to accelerate response via automation and orchestration. This causes IT and security leaders to spend more time on manual processes and infrastructure management, bottlenecks the business and leaves the organisation less secure.<\/p>\n

FireEye Helix is announced to be engineered to deliver capabilities that reduce the time, effort, and cost associated with security operations by addressing three key areas of customer demand:<\/p>\n
