Peer Software has formed a strategic alliance with Pulsar Security.
Through the alliance, Peer Software will use Pulsar Security’s team of cyber security experts to continuously monitor and analyse emerging and evolving ransomware and malware attack patterns on unstructured data.
PeerGFS which aims to ease the deployment of a modern distributed file system across multi-site, on-premises and cloud storage, will use these attack patterns to enable an additional layer of cyber security detection and response. These capabilities will enhance the Malicious Event Detection (MED) feature incorporated in PeerGFS.
Pulsar Security CTO Duane Laflotte said that by understanding the unique behaviour patterns of ransomware and malware attacks and matching these against the real-time file event streams that PeerGFS collects across the distributed file system, Peer can now empower its customers with an additional layer of fast and efficient cyber security monitoring.
“We are excited to be working with Peer Software on this unique capability”, he said.
