Cybersecurity company Check Point announced a new alliance earlier this month with digital intelligence company SimilarWeb. The two companies are to integrate statistical domain trends and security web threats generated by Check Point's ThreatCloud with SimilarWeb digital intelligence solutions. The companies will also share threat intelligence to improve their threat detection and improve security awareness for their respective users.
As the Covid-19 pandemic altered employee environments and drove a massive shift to remote work, it also introduced advanced cyber-threats. A recent survey by Check Point highlights that 42% of respondents believe preventing phishing and social engineering attacks will be the biggest security challenge for 2021. With this new integration, consumers can verify a webpage's security and evaluate a domain's threat assessment through SimilarWeb's services. This transparency will help prevent users from falling victim to potential malicious attacks, SimilarWeb said.
"We're excited to team up with SimilarWeb and provide an extra layer of threat intelligence that will enhance security awareness for SimilarWeb users," said Dror Levy, head of Consumer Sales at the Israeli cybersecurity company. "To stay ahead of threats, we must be proactive and work together to leave no part of an organization's attack surface unmonitored."
"Check Point is an innovator in cyber security and we're pleased to be working with them to improve the value of our digital intelligence offerings to our customers," said Benjamin Seror, chief product officer at Similarweb. "This alliance recognizes that security is now an essential component of a successful digital growth strategy."
