MONETT, Mo.–Jack Henry & Associates said its ProfitStars division has announced the availability of Gladiator Incident Alert for breach detection and notification.
"Today's threat landscape consists of complex compromises and breaches that continue to evolve in scope and frequency," the company said in a statement. "Studies report that only about half of malware is detected on the first day of exposure. It is not enough for financial institutions to have a strong firewall; network traffic must also be examined regularly to detect unknown malware."
ProfitStars said it developed Gladiator Incident Alert as a scalable means to identify deep-level threats that may go unseen through traditional protection mechanisms such as firewall prevention and endpoint security. The solution, leveraging "sandbox" technology, obtains detailed information about malware behavior and alerts the financial institution of suspicious activity with detailed warnings that enable quick assessment and response, the company said.
"The combination of Gladiator's threat intelligence with sandbox file testing creates an added layer of protection to recognize zero-day and advanced persistent threats. With this technology, even highly targeted and evasive malware can be recognized. In addition, Gladiator's team of skilled engineers provides around-the-clock assistance if needed," the company said.
Incident Alert does not depend on a particular core or another software application. The solution can be fully integrated into Gladiator CoreDEFENSE Managed Security Services.
