MILPITAS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/07/15 -- FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks, today announced an integration of the FireEye® Threat Analytics Platform™ (TAP™) with NXLog. The integration enables security teams to feed NXLog network event log data into FireEye TAP and arm organizations with information needed to identify cyber attacks and investigate breaches.

NXLog is a universal log collector and forwarder that supports multiple platforms, log sources and protocols. The integration is designed to allow security teams to feed these network logs, regardless of format, into FireEye TAP for analysis. The FireEye Threat Analytics Platform is a cloud-based solution that layers enterprise generated event data with FireEye Threat Intelligence to identify threats that evade traditional security solutions. FireEye TAP can quickly search through billions of events, typically within seconds, and correlate event logs with FireEye Threat Intelligence to discover the presence and impact of the threat.

By integrating NXLog data into FireEye TAP, organizations have the flexibility to send almost any log data to help identify malicious behavior in their environment. Security teams can use this information to identify attacks in process and assist with incident response in the event of a breach.

"One of the biggest challenges for organizations today is breaking down the silos of event and security information to identify malicious behavior before it leads to a data breach," said Grady Summers, vice president of strategic solutions at FireEye. "By integrating TAP with NXLog, we're able to increase the data sources available to TAP and provide more visibility in near-real time to security teams to help them identify attacks before a breach occurs."

About FireEye Threat Analytics Platform

Traditional security solutions often create silos of information that prevent organizations from identifying related indicators trapped in individual systems. FireEye TAP is able to correlate these indicators against FireEye Threat Intelligence in a cloud environment that reduces the dependence on IT infrastructure and scales to match the needs of organizations.
