LIVERMORE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/16/12 -- SecurityStarfish, a provider of cyberthreat intelligence that enables global enterprises to reduce the risk of data breaches, today announced it is providing Fortune 500 enterprises with actionable cyberthreat intelligence that allows them to establish a unified defensive front against cyberattacks, predict cybercriminals' next moves, and reduce the risk of data breaches and brand damage. SecurityStarfish clients provide data about attacks they've sustained, the company's experts analyze the aggregated information and then report findings back to members who use it to strengthen defenses against a constant barrage of sophisticated and advanced cyberthreats. Clients receive the added benefit of participation in regular collaborative forums where they formulate remediation procedures and unified defensive strategies.

SecurityStarfish global clients include Fortune 500 organizations operating within multiple industries, including finance, high tech, eCommerce, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, cloud, mobile, and energy. Clients submit information anonymously through a secure, stealth portal that protects them against regulatory backlash and government interference. Because only clients can submit information, members are assured that data and guidance provided in reports is authentic and reliable. Security Starfish in return provides threat intelligence across all sectors and industries, so member companies have the most current and robust threat intelligence available as they define their security strategies.

"As a former CISO of organizations that were under constant attack, including eBay and the world's sixth largest bank, I can state with assurance that insight into active threats making their way through the wild and knowledge of how to combat them is invaluable," said Dave Cullinane, SecurityStarfish co-founder and CEO. "SecurityStarfish reports and guidance take the guesswork out of cybersecurity, providing our members with actionable threat intelligence they can use to make security decisions that reduce risk across their organizations."

"Sophisticated cyberattacks can cause massive damage to physical infrastructure, deny access to corporate networks and websites, and lead to costly information breaches and brand damage," said Gordon Shevlin, SecurityStarfish co-founder, EVP and COO. "SecurityStarfish helps its clients develop a united and well-organized defense that allows them to raise their security posture, defend against cyberattacks, and shift the balance of power back into the hands of the enterprise."
