Yesterday Kaspersky Lab announced a partnership with big data analytics company SynerScope “to build a unique and innovative offering in the fight against fraud and financially based cybercrime.”
This new offering will combine Kaspersky Lab’s fraud prevention solutions with SynerScope’s ultra-fast big data analytics technologies.
The partnership will provide cybersecurity solutions, crisis response and anti-fraud technologies to banks, financials firms, government, and law enforcement agencies “at a speed and scale not previously available,” said SynerScope CEO Jan-Kees Buenen.
This will “shape the future of cybersecurity, law enforcement and intelligence services,” the companies claim.
The technology aims to take structured and unstructured data from malware, phishing, spam, texting, social media and digital images and reveal a clearer picture of cyberthreats faced by organisations.
“This can be achieved by running the data through ultra-fast appliances using Dell, IBM and Nvidia components which drastically increase the volume of data that can be brought into scope. In turn, this enables security experts to better understand and make better decisions on how to thwart imminent attacks,” explained Buenen.
“The future of understanding malware, threats, intrusion and abnormal behaviours lies in data science technologies, ultrafast predictive analytics and machine learning,” also believes Alex Moiseev, Managing Director of Kaspersky Lab Europe.
SynerScope presents itself as “the next generation platform that provides analytics solutions to help discover critical insights from massive amounts of data, including dark data, and turning it into useful information and insights.” The SynerScope technology combines scientific visualization technologies (MRI scanner), ultrafast predictive analytics and machine learning on top of its proprietary enterprise data navigation, -search and -linking.
With headquarters in Helvoirt, the Netherlands, and La Jolla, California, the company operates in the banking, insurance, critical infrastructure, and now also in cyber security.
