Strategic partnership enables customers to manage data retention requirements and advanced persistent threat challenges
MELBOURNE Australia – SSI Pacific, a leading independent system integrator in the “Asian Pacific” rim providing world leading Security Intelligence and monitoring solutions for Governments, Telecommunications and Enterprise sectors today announced the finalisation of its strategic partnership with Hexis Cyber Solutions (Hexis), a subsidiary of The KEYW Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: KEYW) based in Hanover, Maryland, provider of complete cyber security solutions for commercial companies, government agencies, and the Intelligence Community (IC).
Under this agreement, the companies cement their partnership to deliver two key outcomes:
- An unparalleled solution with the industry’s most unique approach to analytics and intelligence (a flexible event data collection process and a clustered, columnar-based event data warehouse )
- The most advanced active defence disruptive technology that detects, investigates, remediates and removes advanced threats within the network before they can compromise intellectual property or cause process disruption throughout the APAC region.
By combining Hexis active, multi-disciplined approaches and its experience in supporting large scale cyber security and cyber warfare missions with SSI design, engineering and delivery capabilities expertise and sales reach, the partnership is enabling commercial and government organizations to address regional and local Data Retention obligations while responding to today’s cyber security challenges.
“Europe already has a Data Retention scheme, requiring telecommunications operators and Internet Service Providers to implement solutions that manage compliance, storage and investigation demands” explained Samuel Py, CEO at SSI. “By leveraging Hexis patented event data warehouse and recent experience across Europe and the US, we can deliver turnkey solutions – on premise or hosted – to get customers up and running quickly and affordably with their Data retention needs.”
In addition, the partnership also address critical security processes, such as log management, compliance reporting, real-time monitoring, forensic investigations and incident response, which are essential to identifying malicious activity.
Mr Py reinforces the fact that: “the cyber threat landscape has been morphing more quickly than most AV or security vendors care to admit or explain; whilst the majority of them are focusing on signature recognition or tools used by the “threat” elements (i.e. Malware, rootkit, fishing) there is a failure to address the human factors and behavioural patterns associated with them. This is where Hexis creates a key differentiator”
With advanced out-of-the-box analytics, including reports and dashboards, along with a standard querying capability and an OBDB/JDBC interface for any third party business intelligence tool, Hexis also makes it easier for SSI customers to do critical analysis and conduct investigations within hours and days – as opposed to weeks and months – reducing the time to discover and avoiding the disruptions typically caused by accommodating law enforcement inquiries.
“Several concerns on the minds of network owners everywhere are how to detect and remove stealthy attackers before they have time to do their damage, and how to achieve real time security awareness, compliance with government mandated data retention initiatives, and better integrated risk management in the face of burgeoning network data” explained Chris Fedde, President of Hexis Cyber Solutions. “Hexis Cyber Solutions applies state-of-the-art technologies to solve these urgent problems.”
As an authorized Elite Reseller, SSI provides consulting, implementation and training services to all customers and local partners. SSI and Hexis are already working on a number of joint projects, including leading telecommunications operators, government organizations, financial institutions and other large enterprises.
