Cylance, Raytheon|Websense Combine Malware Protection Offerings; Joshua Douglas Comments

Raytheon|Websense and Cylance have partnered to consolidate both companies’ security offerings in an effort to help clients view files that move through their networks.

Raytheon|Websense combines its SureView threat protection service with Cylance’s Infinity Engine malware detection technology engine under the partnership, Cylance said Wednesday.

“The combination of SureView threat protection and Cylance’s next-generation malware protection engine reduces attack dwell time — the time from breach to containment,” said Joshua Douglas, Raytheon|Websense chief technology officer.

“This, in turn, minimizes business disruption and protects critical business assets,” added Douglas.

SureView works to detect unknown attacks through Raytheon|Websense’s technology and Cylance’s machine learning-based technology.
