AusCERT2019, Queensland – 28 May 2019: Cyber security software specialist, emt Distribution today launched its Cyber Threat Management strategy at the AusCERT2019 cyber security conference, providing partners and the organisations they serve with integrated solutions that support a rapid, coordinated response to cyber attacks.
“Australia’s Notifiable Data Breach Act has created an opportunity among organisations that want to improve their cyber security maturity to avoid the rising flood of security incidents,” said Richard Rundle, CEO for emt Distribution. “We have seen 964 breach notifications in the last year, eight times as many as the previous voluntary scheme.”
In February 2019 alone, Australia’s Parliament House and major political parties were breached, the Melbourne Heart Group reported that 15,000 patient records had been accessed by a cyber crime syndicate, and Toyota Australia said an attempted attack had been mitigated by the actions of its IT department and external cyber security experts.
Organisations can prevent cyber attacks escalating into Notifiable Data Breaches that result in serious harm by taking immediate and effective remedial action. emt’s Cyber Threat Management strategy helps organisations achieve a rapid, coordinated response to cyber attacks with integrated solutions for threat intelligence, threat analytics and cyber security orchestration. Solutions distributed by emt on show at AusCERT2019 include:
“With a portfolio of leading Cyber Threat Management solutions, emt Distribution supports a level of cyber maturity many channel partners could not achieve in the past,” said Rundle. “This is good news for businesses and government agencies that are looking to take their cyber strategies to new maturity levels and need partners to help them get there.”
“Over the last year Flashpoint has significantly expanded its reach in Asia-Pacific, supporting large enterprises obtain the most meaningful intelligence to help them combat cyber threats, fraud, insider threats, and address corporate and physical security concerns,” said Brian Costello, SVP Global Sales and Solutions Architecture, Flashpoint. “Much of this expansion is due to our stellar partnership with emt, which is visionary in how it has assembled its portfolio of partners to reduce risk.”
Adam Vincent, CEO of ThreatConnect said, “We are excited to be a part of emt’s Cyber Threat Management strategy initiative. We believe that with the ThreatConnect Platform organisations in the region will now have a single place for all of their security knowledge, enhanced by intelligence, enriched with analytics, and driven by workflows to drastically improve the effectiveness of every member of the team.”
