Doosan Digital Innovation (DDI) signed a partnership with Boston-based cybersecurity firm Cybereason to provide the latter's cybersecurity software tools in the Asia-Pacific region including Korea, the IT service arm of Doosan Group said Monday.
The tools to be provided by the Korean side include endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and anti-ransomware and -malware protection.
“With the partnership with Cybereason, DDI plans to provide response tools to cybersecurity threats to its customers, as private firms and public organizations are urged to respond quickly to rapidly increasing cyberattacks,” DDI said.
The Doosan Group affiliate said it inked the partnership with Cybereason as the company has a unique technology that preemptively eliminates security risks through real-time early detection.
“Partnering with Cybereason puts future-ready cybersecurity products and services in the hands of organizations who need it,” said Robert Oh, chief operating officer of DDI. “This global partnership allow us to offer these next-generation cybersecurity capabilities to DDI's internal and external customers.”
Lior Div, CEO and co-founder of Cybereason, viewed the partnership will become a win-win for the two companies.
“Our strategic partnership with DDI highlights our mission to end sophisticated cyberattacks that are costing enterprises hundreds of millions of dollars a year,” the CEO said. “By working closely with DDI throughout the region, we will provide enterprises with the needed expertise and solutions to reverse the adversary advantage and return defenders to the high ground, reducing the impact of cyberattacks on the business.”
