Dtex Systems Chosen by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to Defend Against the Insider Threat
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Leading Research University Deploys User Behavior Intelligence Solution to
Secure Critical IT Systems
THE HAGUE, THE NETHERLANDS and SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2017) - Dtex
Systems, a leader in user behavior intelligence and insider threat detection,
today announced that Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) has chosen the
company's flagship platform to secure sensitive data within its IT
infrastructure from insider threats. As one of the largest universities in The
Netherlands, VU Amsterdam realizes the vital importance user behavior
intelligence plays in the modern cybersecurity landscape. The university is
committed to protecting organizations from not only the outside hacker, but also
from network vulnerabilities unknowingly created by the students and staff who
use its IT services regularly.
"As cyber threats continue to plague all organizations, we expect the number of
attacks against public universities to rise unless administrators proactively
take steps to better identify and mitigate them," said Christy Wyatt, CEO at
Dtex Systems. "This is why it is crucial for all universities to have visibility
into their users' behavior at the point closest to the user: the endpoint.
Without this visibility, administrators will always be one step behind, unable
to detect negligent behavior that puts its users and networks at risk."
By deploying Dtex, VU Amsterdam can identify and mitigate potential threats
before material damage occurs without compromising the functionality of an open
IT infrastructure -- allowing students and staff to continue to efficiently and
effectively do their jobs. With the industry's most comprehensive library of
thousands of known user threat behavior patterns enhanced with advanced risk
modeling and combined risk scoring, the Dtex Advanced User Behavior Intelligence
Platform can identify abnormal user behavior and provide contextual insights
that help inform action.
In order to maintain user privacy and ensure total compliance even under the
strictest laws, the metadata collected using Dtex's ultra-lightweight data
collection method is anonymized and stripped of any identifying information.
Once threats are identified, VU Amsterdam can decide to de-anonymize the data,
accurately pinpoint the source of the threat and, if necessary, provide
sufficient information to take action against the perpetrator without limiting
the capabilities of the IT environment by employing "locking and blocking"
functionalities.
"We are excited to welcome VU Amsterdam as an important customer in The
Netherlands," says Olav van Haren, Sales Director, Benelux at Dtex Systems. "By
taking this step to protect against cyber threats, the university has proven to
be an innovative IT force. We look forward to working with university officials
as they implement our solution to ensure an open environment, while taking the
right measures to verify acceptable usage."
