Cyberint Technologies, a cyber security startup, is expected to be acquired by Check Point Software Technologies for an undisclosed sum.
Cyberint prime platform called Argos help enterprises block a wide range of online threats and focuses on fending off phishing campaigns. This platform can detect such phishing websites and send the cloud providers that host them a takedown request.
The business uses a so-called beacon that is embedded into clients’ websites as one method of identifying phishing campaigns. It’s a little piece of code meant to evade hackers’ notice.
The beacon and all of the other contents of the original website are replicated into a malicious clone that is made by a cybercriminal downloading the code of a website with beacons. When the beacon notices a change in configuration, it alerts Cyberint.
Argos detects leakage of a company’s internal data on the dark web in addition to phishing websites. Furthermore, the platform can identify infrastructure vulnerabilities within an organization that may eventually result in these kinds of leaks. Cyberint can identify unprotected cloud storage repositories, internet-facing apps with known vulnerabilities, and open network ports.
Check Point will use Cyberint’s technology to enhance its Infinity cybersecurity suite. The offering provides access to several of the company’s breach prevention products, including multiple tools for protecting cloud environments, through a single subscription. Check Point says that the deal will also help enhance its portfolio of managed threat intelligence services.
