Prolinx has announced a comprehensive Cyber Assurance service to protect organisations against today’s constantly evolving barrage of cyber attacks. Prolinx has used its experience gained by working on secure military and government projects to assemble a combination of technologies and processes that offer a ‘protect, detect, react and recover’ approach to dealing with cyber crime.


“Modern cyber attacks are so sophisticated that over 60% of cyber attacks can go undetected,” said John Green, Chief Technology Officer for Prolinx, “Our assurance solution provides better visibility into attacks than traditional perimeter-based solutions because we look for anomalous behaviour on the network as a result of unknown threats, as well as guarding against threats we know about.”


In addition to stopping attacks before they gain entry, Prolinx’s solution contains and isolates malicious attacks so that employees can get on with their jobs without the need to ‘lock down’ the IT infrastructure. By putting recovery procedures and workarounds in place before a cyber attack happens, businesses can quickly move forward after an attack to recover lost data or configuration information without disruption to productivity. Timely incident reports supported by RSA’s Security Analytics technology enable organisations to assess system damage or data loss, quickly resume operations, and avoid negative press.


Prolinx has integrated RSA’s Security Analytics technology into its recover methodology to enable the solution to provide a fully logged attack life cycle report. By analysing log files, network traffic and threat intelligence information, Prolinx provides better visibility into security threats, which enables faster detection, documented intelligent reaction and efficient recovery without disruption to business.


“RSA has been working closely with Prolinx, primarily focused in the UK Defence Market and for Cyber Defence Solutions,” said Richard Nichols, Sales Operations Director, RSA Security Analytics. “They are able to quickly understand the customer environment and requirements and work closely with both RSA and the customer to ensure successful delivery of often highly sensitive projects”.
Prolinx’s Cyber Assurance solution is available as a managed service.
