WILMINGTON, Del.-Thursday 10 October 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSC announces a new domain name security intelligence API that can now
bring together the power of CSC’s domain name security intelligence with
other cloud-based security operations platforms. Debuting today at the
FireEye Cyber Defense Summit 2019, this new solution will help the
world's leading security experts, government leaders, and executives
from various industries address important challenges in today’s cyber
threat landscape, including the vulnerability of digital assets like
domains, domain name systems (DNS), and digital certificates outside the
firewall, noted by both companies as serious security blind spots.
Cyber
threats such as domain name and DNS hijacking events enable criminals
to redirect web traffic, email, apps, and other connections to services
that rely on the hijacked domain name. The exploitation of weaknesses in
DNS infrastructure is caused by a lack of controls, processes, and
policies with most organizations. For clients leveraging a security
operations platform or a SIEM, it’s now possible to display all your
security intelligence in one place, adding security controls for
domains, DNS, and digital certificates. This insight can help
organizations mitigate the disruption of business continuity, leading to
financial repercussions, loss of consumer trust, and sensitive data
leaks. This is the first time any organization is able to integrate
security controls for digital assets outside the firewall into their
security operations platform including a SIEM.
“Customers
today have vendor fatigue and are overwhelmed by managing multiple,
disparate security solutions. With the CSC API accessible, our mutual
customers will be able to monitor a suite of security events that occur
outside their company’s firewall when integrated with the FireEye Helix
Security Platform,” says Sean Morton, vice president of Customer
Experience at FireEye. “Detecting risks such as DNS and domain name
hijacking removes a significant blind spot in a company’s security
strategy, providing valuable intelligence and alerts inside our security
operations platform, ultimately increasing the efficiency and incident
response times dealing with cyber threats.”
“As
the world’s leading corporate domain name registrar, CSC is the only
company in the unique position to provide visibility into the cyber
risks associated with your business-critical digital assets outside the
firewall—domains, DNS, and digital certificates. Coupled with other
security operations platforms like FireEye Helix, our joint customers
have access to a next generation security platform,” says Mark Calandra,
senior vice president, CSC Digital Brand Services. “In response to the
risk of DNS hijacking and other cyber crime noted in the Department of Homeland Security’s emergency directive and the UK National Cyber Security Centre’s security advisory, CSC’s
advanced proprietary algorithms are designed to expose these blind
spots that are a critical component for enhancing the security posture
of any company with an online presence.”
The
Cyber Defense Summit is being hosted by FireEye, and the conference
takes place October 9-10, 2019, in Washington, D.C. CSC representatives
will be in the exhibition hall to discuss CSC’s new Domain Name Security
Intelligence API and its integration with FireEye Helix. We will also
be discussing our recent Cyber Security Report highlighting the domain
name security posture of global government defense contractors.
