OREANDA-NEWS. October 14, 2015. Cyber adAPT®, the leader in real-time network-based threat detection, announces its partnership with Innovation, a specialist program and project management consultancy firm, to deliver cutting edge cyber security solutions to clients across the APAC and EMEA regions.

"With this partnership we can tackle the growing IT security issue affecting numerous business sectors," said Peter Hawkins, CEO, Innovation. "Cyber adAPT software shines a deeply penetrating light on existing issues within the network where many companies lack visibility. Their detection technology will greatly enhance the risk avoidance capability within our clients business operations at all levels."

In February, Gartner predicted that "by 2018, 40 percent of large enterprises will have formal plans to address aggressive cyber security business disruption attacks. To combat these types of attacks, CISOs must pivot approaches from blocking and detecting attacks, to detecting and responding to attacks."* By placing detection at the core of their cyber security strategy IT professionals are better equipped to respond and address boardroom inquiries. With network compromises on the rise and growing in cost, it is imperative that IT professionals work closely with corporate boards to discuss effective ways to mitigate risk.

"We are all stepping up to help address the global business issue," said Jason Lundy, SVP Strategic Operations, Cyber adAPT. "Businesses around the world will continue to face intensifying security breaches until they move beyond prevention to invest in detection and remediation capabilities. Placing an emphasis on detection can help businesses quickly discover risks within their enterprise networks."
