MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Cyren (NASDAQ: CYRN) announced today that it
will partner with Microsoft to enable Windows Defender Advanced
Threat Protection (ATP) customers to leverage Cyren's
cloud-based web security technology. Microsoft enterprise customers
using Windows Defender ATP will benefit from Cyren's leading threat
intelligence to help protect, detect and respond to threats on
Windows endpoints.
Cyren technology
Cyren's cloud-delivered web security
technology includes real-time analysis and classification of global
threats powered by GlobalViewTM, one of the industry's
most comprehensive security clouds. Customers will apply this
powerful technology by defining policies via a simple-to-use policy
framework that will be fully integrated into the Windows Defender
ATP and its Windows Defender Security Center console. The solution
allows IT administrators to offer cloud-enabled, endpoint-based
security protection and policy enforcement, eliminating the need
for costly secure web gateway appliances.
Service availability
The new integrated offering will
initially be made available as a private preview with a select set
of enterprise customers during the first half of 2019, with the
goal of reaching general availability for all Windows Defender ATP
customers later in the year. Once general availability has been
reached, Cyren's add-on web security module is expected to become
available to Windows Defender ATP enterprise customers as a 30-day
free trial via a cloud subscription. At the end of the trial,
customers will be able to purchase a cloud subscription and support
contract directly from Cyren.
"We are honored to be working with Microsoft to offer advanced
web security to their Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection
customers," said Lior Kohavi, Chief
Technical Officer at Cyren. "The flexibility of the Windows
Defender ATP platform to natively integrate our cloud-based service
and centrally manage it from a single console provides significant
value to short-handed security organizations. In addition, this
service may allow CISOs and security architects to re-think the
need for their complex and expensive secure web gateway
architectures in the future."
In April 2018, Cyren announced a
major contract expansion with Microsoft to deliver enhanced
anti-phishing technology to Office 365. Today's latest
announcement is independent of the previous contract
announcement.
