Google Cloud and Cybereason join forces

Issue 6 2021 News & Events

Cybereason and Google Cloud announced a joint collaboration between the two companies to create and bring to market Extended Detection and Response (XDR) across endpoints, networks, cloud and workspaces.

Cybereason delivers comprehensive protection, analysing more than 23 trillion security-related events per week. Using its patented Malicious Operations (MalOps) engine, Cybereason reveals the full attack story across every device, user identity, application and cloud deployment.

Meanwhile Google Cloud’s cybersecurity analytics platform Chronicle ingests, normalises and analyses petabytes of data from the complete IT environment on planetary-scale infrastructure.

The combination of these capabilities delivers a cloud-native XDR solution, Cybereason XDR powered by Chronicle, which automates prevention for common attacks, guides analysts through security operations and incident response and enables threat hunting with precision at a pace never before achieved.

“Google Cloud’s ability to hunt through petabytes of data at the speed of search, combined with Cybereason’s revolutionary correlation capabilities and behaviour-based detections, delivers unparalleled speed and accuracy in the prevention, detection and response of advanced attacks,” said Cybereason CEO and co-founder, Lior Div.

Where many solutions failed, Cybereason protected customers from headline-making attacks like SolarWinds, the Microsoft Exchange Server attacks and crippling ransomware attacks from DarkSide, REvil and other ransomware gangs.
