Check Point has announced its ThreatCloud, the first collaborative network to fight cybercrime that gathers threat data from worldwide network of threat sensors and distributes threat intelligence to security gateways around the globe.
Check Point ThreatCloud is updated based on global network of threat sensors and invites organizations to share threat data and collaborate in the fight against modern malware. Customers can choose to collaborate by feeding ThreatCloud with their own threat data and can receive incoming protection updates through their security gateways. When new bots or malware threats are identified on an organization's network, the malware identifier is sent to the ThreatCloud and an update is distributed to their peers and customers around the world in a matter of seconds. Check Point ThreatCloud sends collective threat information directly to security gateways and software blades.
Dorit Dor, VP, Products, Check Point Software Technologies said, "With new forms of malware being generated on a daily basis, ThreatCloud expands an organization's security footprint, bringing customers significantly more information and analysis about attacks than they would have otherwise had before. Check Point ThreatCloud is based on a global collaboration to increase the volume, quality and speed of threat intelligence - enabling customers to quickly respond to threats that may have happened next door and apply the appropriate protections to their gateways before they can spread."
