SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexusguard, the worldwide leader in distributed denial of service (DDoS) security solutions, today announced it has entered into a cybersecurity alliance with Tinfoil Security, a leading provider of application vulnerability detection. The relationship unites Nexusguard’s DDoS mitigation capability with Tinfoil’s developer-friendly service that lets security teams quickly scan their applications for vulnerabilities. The move gives customers comprehensive cybersecurity capabilities, with protections designed for the network and application layers.

Enterprise IT deployments face growing threats from countless sources. DDoS attacks continue to pose a significant challenge to network security and organizations’ online presence. However, the challenges extend far beyond just denial of service attacks. Intrusions and application vulnerabilities cause significant problems for IT security, as well. Companies need both elements of security to confidently address the existing threat landscape.

“Companies are fighting a war on multiple fronts. One of the best solutions is to ally against these developing threats to provide the best coverage,” Michael Borohovski, co-founder and chief technology officer for Tinfoil Security. “Finding vulnerabilities at the application layer is important, certainly – yet we believe there is a greater opportunity to do even more. Working with Nexusguard enables us to give companies a stronger defense against the threats they face every day.”

“As businesses work to overcome new zero-day threats in cyber attacks, we see increasing demand for best-in-breed technology,” Xenophon Giannis, vice president for Nexusguard, explains. “Our alliance with Tinfoil Security empowers customers access to an industry-leading service to tackle any form of intrusion or attack. A holistic security ecosystem gives businesses the comprehensive cybersecurity advantage required for today’s digital world.”

Nexusguard will be at RSA 2016 to discuss new solutions for cybersecurity protection. Visit Nexusguard in booth N5010. For more information, contact: [email protected].
