BAE Systems Extends Cloud-Based Security To M'sian Market

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 (Bernama) -- BAE Systems is extending its cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, Email Protection Services (EPS), to the Malaysian commercial organisations to address email threats in the country. BAE Systems Applied Intelligence Director for Cyber Security, Asia, Nick Turnbull said the company planned to offer the products across financial, healthcare, retail and insurance sectors in Malaysia. "By introducing Malaysian companies to protection against cyber attacks in a way that is easy to buy, consume and manage, we aim to protect companies against today's most sophisticated threats," he said to reporters at the launch of the EPS here, Thursday. He added that 3,500 customers globally had implemented the EPS with one million users within the customer base. Turnbull noted that the email was the most successful threat factor in the cyber world and 95 per cent of attacks started with emails. "Between 70 and 90 per cent of malware attacks are unique to an organisation," he said. Turnbull said the EPS provided comprehensive protection against advanced threats with its two main offerings, namely Zero Day Prevention and Insider Threat Prevention. "If you look specifically at the Zero Day Prevention, the best feature that we have is the fact that it is delivered through the cloud. "It is a cloud security gateway, hence we are able to block the Zero Day threat outside of your network," he added. -- BERNAMA
