Help AG, Forcepoint partner to enable Middle East enterprises to protect their data against breaches

Security

In a move that strengthens its ability to enable Middle East businesses to protect their data against breaches, insider threats and cyber-attacks, Help AG, a cybersecurity solutions, services and consultancy provider, has entered into partnership with global cybersecurity leader, Forcepoint

While the agreement extends across Forcepoint’s entire product portfolio, Help AG will focus particularly on the vendor’s unique dynamic security protection offerings, Dynamic Data Protection, Dynamic Edge Protection and Dynamic User protection, offering these to enterprises in the UAE and KSA.

Stephan Berner, CEO at Help AG, said, “Data is one of the most valuable assets for businesses and its protection is therefore a top priority. Middle East organisations are looking to safeguard their data, not just for compliance purposes, but also because of the potential impact breaches can have on business continuity and brand reputation.”

Forcepoint offers next generation DLP, which overcomes the rigidity and hurdles of traditional DLP by reducing alert volumes, false positives and alarms to focus on what matters. Forcepoint solutions protect organisations from information leaks and data loss at the perimeter, inside the organisation and in enterprise cloud apps, including Office 365, Box, and Salesforce.

The vendor’s DLP solution includes an analytics engine that identifies and ranks high-risk incidents, reducing false positives and enabling businesses to isolate problems faster.

Dynamic Data Protection employs behavioural analytics and machine learning in its solution to examine and assess user behaviour. By understanding attributes like typical access patterns of users, this individualised, adaptive security protects enterprises against malicious user actions such as data exfiltration or unauthorised access to critical assets and systems.
