The sudden transition to remote work , brought on by the pandemic , resulted in many companies ensuring employees had the necessary tools to work remotely . However , that left little focus on the rising security risks that come with home networks and endpoints .
In the post-COVID era , companies will have to rely more on public clouds for unbeatable business agility , and the accelerated market adoption of cloud for critical workloads will be threatened by the continuous expansion of the attack surface and will require a security paradigm shift . Furthermore , regional data sovereignty requirements demand solution providers can deliver the benefits the cloud offers while assuring security and compliance regulations are met no matter where business is conducted .
To address these challenges , Cybereason has entered into a partnership with Oracle to protect global enterprises against advanced cybersecurity threats at every endpoint and across the enterprise . Oracle and Cybereason share a vision for providing our channel partners with the most competitive offerings in the market , that allow defenders to reverse the adversary advantage .
Channel partners will benefit from the combined value of the Cybereason Defence Platform Machine Learning prevention , detection and automated remediation capabilities , and the Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure ( OCI ) will provide global scalability with microsecond latency and low costs .
Key benefits that channel partners can leverage for their customers include :
• Improved security and risk posture , reduced operational costs for endpoint and desktop security and increased productivity of security operations teams
• Reduced time to detection and recovery from cyber incidents via architected-in security that reduces overall complexity , reduces the impact from human error and improves response time with self-securing and adaptive defences
• Building in the cloud with confidence leveraging integrated security and essential services to protect paths to data across cloud and onpremises deployments and support compliance and governance .
Oracle also has data centres in multiple regions not served by other cloud providers , so the Oracle and Cybereason partnership empowers our channel partners to deliver for their customer ’ s operations where there are strict data sovereignty laws .
Commenting on this partnership , our CEO and Cybereason Co- Founder , Lior Div , said , “ We ’ re excited to collaborate with Oracle to enhance our company ’ s cloud infrastructure for our award-winning unified protection platform . We chose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure because of its security-first approach and performance .
“ Together , we will deliver unmatched visibility and risk reduction to our global customer base . Additionally , the Oracle Cloud global footprint will enable Cybereason to offer in-country hosting in more locations for meeting regulatory data sovereignty requirements .” The collaboration means that the customers of our channel partners will benefit from a cloud-native architecture that secures endpoints on a global scale and faster deployment – all protected by the industry ’ s leading endpoint prevention , detection and response capabilities for the enterprise .
This multi-year partnership will deliver an initial deployment reach of about 300,000 global endpoints and create a standardised and repeatable architecture that scales quickly , provides a competitive price point for our channel partners and is ready for multi-region deployment based on customer demand .
Trust and flexibility are key when we work with our channel partners . Working together we found a similar culture and passion – bringing together the best security architecture for protecting customer ’ s cloud assets . Together , we look forward to better serving and securing our worldwide customer base .
