Invincea Inc. and ForeScout Technologies Inc. have partnered to integrate the Invincea and ForeScout CounterACT platforms to enable continuous monitoring and prevention of advanced cyberattacks within corporate networks.
The Invincea Platform includes the FreeSpace user protection software suite and the Invincea Management Service (IMS), a cloud-hosted management and threat intelligence service. ForeScout CounterACT is a real-time security platform that delivers visibility and automated control for devices, users, systems, and applications attempting to connect to or on a company network. With the integration, Invincea and Forescout offer safe online usage for both business and BYOD assets.
Invincea offers protection from malware, whether it is advanced or conventional and whether the exploits are known, unknown, or zero-days. It does so by moving the most highly targeted applications on endpoints, the web browsers, PDF reader, and Office suite, into secure virtual containers on the user’s device. When a user trips across a malicious website or content, whether via a spear-phish, web-based drive-by, or watering hole, Invincea contains the attack, terminates the malware, collects forensics on the threat, and forwards it to the Invincea Management Service. The collected forensics from each attack are then fused with third-party and organic threat intelligence to understand the attack type and adversarial profile behind the attacks. As part of ForeScout’s ControlFabric Technology Partner Program, Invincea’s platform will be integrated with ForeScout CounterACT to enable customers to scope, validate, and maintain FreeSpace deployment in the company. Invincea will also provide ForeScout with broader threat details to provide closed-loop, automated policy-based mitigation.
“We are pleased to partner with leading threat prevention providers, such as Invincea, as their ability to detect and thwart attacks makes them a crucial part of our CounterACT ecosystem,” says Gil Friedrich, vice president of technology at ForeScout. “This integration illustrates how ForeScout’s customers and partners can leverage our ControlFabric technology to accelerate interoperability, bolster controls, and automate policy-based mitigation.”
