HP Extends Global Threat Intelligence Sharing Platform Through Alliance with Hitachi
Through this partnership, Hitachi will join the HP Global Threat Intelligence Alliance and contribute threat intelligence to HP’s existing security information sharing platform, HP Threat Central. The platform delivers automated and open sharing of information and contextual analysis that allows organizations to take action. This intelligence will also inform periodically published reports from HP Security Research.
Value of Global Information Sharing
To arm enterprises against an ever growing array of threats, HP Security Research created the HP Global Threat Intelligence Alliance to foster their collaboration. The alliance program provides members with access to private, value-added intelligence from leading industry researchers, analysis of underground forums, and threat actor profiles. In return, these participant enterprises contribute their own intelligence from the threats they face on a daily basis.
“Targeted attacks are becoming more pervasive and the evolving nature of threats continues to be a top security challenge facing organizations around the world,” said Ted Ross, Director, Threat Intelligence, Security Research, HP. “Information sharing is fundamental to staying a step ahead of the adversaries, advancing security intelligence and quickly isolating threats to predict threats and protect our most valuable data.”
Cyber Crime on the Rise in Japan & Asia Pacific
With cyber attacks on the rise, and impacting Japanese enterprises across the financial services, technology, communications and automotive sectors, this alliance is particularly well timed. In fact, the financial impact of cyber crime continues to rise in Japan, as evidenced by a 68 percent net increase in the past four years, according to the 2015 Cost of Cyber Crime Study conducted by The Ponemon Institute.1
“In recent years, not only corporate IT systems but also critical social infrastructures are facing a growing risk of cyber attacks, with techniques becoming more complex and tenacious,” said Shuji Senoo, Senior Director, Advanced Security Technology Operations, Cloud Services Division at Hitachi. “With partnerships like this with HP, Hitachi will share cyber threat data to contribute to more sophisticated society-wide cyber security capabilities by enhancing methods to detect and prevent cyber attacks while minimizing impact on organizational activities.”
