E8 Security Launches Partner Ecosystem To Capture Growth in Cybersecurity Deployments

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - October 21, 2015) - E8 Security, an innovator in Behavioral Intelligence for cybersecurity, today announced the formation of a strategic partner ecosystem to transform the way technology is used to secure organizations. This will include a variety of technology, alliance and solution partners.

Given the frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, visibility into the unseen threats already inside an organization is paramount. Enterprises can no longer wait months to deploy solutions or invest millions of dollars to get an accurate picture of the critical threats that are hiding, evolving and mutating inside their business. E8 Security and partners have entered into agreements to work together to help organizations identify the unseen internal and external threats and adversaries.

E8 Security has forged partnerships with a broad range of innovative market leading security solution providers. The E8 Security partner ecosystem includes:

• Companies that embed E8 Security's Behavioral Intelligence Platform into their solution or portfolio
• Best of breed component and platform providers
• Solutions that integrate with E8 to provide the necessary data for the analytics or rely on the intelligence generated by E8 Security's Behavioral Intelligence Platform to enable rapid response

E8 Security's Behavioral Intelligence Platform uses machine learning to track and identify every entity (user and devices) in the enterprise. It bridges the awareness gaps that exist in legacy security tools through a set of smart algorithms that identify malicious behavior and prioritize the riskiest threats. By combining the scale of big data, the power of behavioral analytics and leveraging the data of existing security assets, the E8 Security Behavioral Intelligence Platform identifies hidden threats and help resolves them faster.

Blue Coat Systems, Inc., a leading provider of on-premise, hybrid and cloud-based solutions for protecting web connectivity, combating advanced threats, and responding to security breaches, is a key member of E8 Security's partner ecosystem. "Blue Coat is excited to work with E8 Security, said Peter Doggart, vice president of business development for Blue Coat. "The collaboration provides customers a Behavioral Intelligence solution that works seamlessly with Blue Coat's existing portfolio to help detect and resolve threats hidden in the network."

"Detecting and resolving threats already within the environment is a challenge that needs to be addressed immediately. Security solutions should not exist in silos, but rather, must work together to be effective," said Matt Jones, CEO at E8 Security. "Our partner ecosystem is designed to ensure that solutions work together seamlessly, without a heavy implementation investment, or lengthy implementations, so customers can derive value immediately. It is the only approach that can augment the security organizations ability to keep pace with evolving threats without hiring an army of analysts."

E8 Security continues to expand its partner ecosystem. For more information on the E8 Behavioral Intelligence Platform, and its most current list of partnerships visit our Partner page.
