The Invincea Platform - which includes the FreeSpace user protection software suite and the Invincea Management Service (IMS), a cloud-hosted management and threat intelligence service - currently protects more than 15,000 organisations around the globe. By integrating it with the ForeScout CounterACT real-time security platform, enterprises will be able to enforce safe online usage with Invincea for both enterprise and BYOD assets.

Invincea’s malware protection moves the most highly targeted applications on endpoints, the web browsers, PDF reader and Office suite, into secure virtual containers on the user’s device. When a user trips across a malicious website or content, whether via a spear-phish, web-based drive-by or watering hole, Invincea contains the attack, terminates the malware, collects forensics on the threat and forwards to the Invincea Management Service. The collected forensics from each attack are then fused with third-party and organic threat intelligence to understand the attack type and adversarial profile behind the attacks.

“As a financial services company, we anticipate regular malicious attacks from the Internet. We turned to Invincea as an extra layer of defence to protect our employees against what we see as our biggest threat – spear-phishing, watering hole attacks, drive-by-downloads and crime-ware encountered on the Internet,” said Chris Walsh, information security officer at Bank Leumi USA. “They fill a gap that has been left by traditional endpoint security providers and are incredibly effective. We also rely on ForeScout to gain visibility and enforce policy for users and devices connecting to our network – including home-use devices and BYOD.

“With the two companies integrating their solutions, we have the ability to ensure that all of our users’ machines are protected by Invincea FreeSpace and respond to any machines not running FreeSpace so as to maintain a secure internal network.”
