HP brings new offerings to proactively defend against attacks

BANGALORE, INDIA:  HP has introduced new offerings designed to arm organizations with the actionable security intelligence needed to engage a more proactive defense against the adversary.

The new solutions anticipate attacks, expand visibility and enable automated, real-time response. By gathering threat intelligence and coordinating response across integrated solutions and teams, organizations can proactively defend against attacks at every point in the threat life cycle.

Stopping breaches in real time with first application self-protection service

To minimize the risk at the application layer, HP has introduced HP Application Defender, the cloud-based security service that enables self-protection for applications in production by virtually patching software vulnerabilities.

HP Application Defender uses Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) technology to help IT security professionals identify and stop attacks by monitoring application activity in the runtime environment. This helps protect against common software application vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting and unauthorized access.

Neutralizing “Patient Zero” to stop advanced targeted attacks

To block threats in real time, the new HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat Appliance (ATA) product family brings together a comprehensive set of network-enforcement capabilities to detect, act upon and mitigate advanced network security threats, utilizing static, dynamic and behavioral detection techniques.

The new HP solution set provides organizations with enhanced defense against initial “patient zero” infection and subsequent lateral spread.

HP Tipping Point Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) with the HP TippingPoint Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and HP TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) allow organizations to quickly block threats from further infiltration and lateral spread across the network.

They then use the security intelligence gained to block future attacks. The new HP TippingPoint ATA family of products will combine these advanced threat capabilities with the filter-writing expertise of HP TippingPoint Digital Vaccine (DV) Labs to further strengthen protection.

Activating intelligence at scale

To address the challenge of parsing through an increasing amount of data to deliver actionable security intelligence, HP has introduced HP ArcSight Logger 6.0, the latest release of its universal log management solution that unifies collection, storage and analysis of machine data to consolidate security and compliance.

A core part of HP ArcSight Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) portfolio, HP ArcSight Logger 6.0 offers enhanced scalability to handle eight times more data at 10 times higher performance than the previous version to deliver continuous monitoring and high-speed contextual forensic investigation capabilities.
