Bit9 moves to spot lurking threats with Carbon Black 5.0

Bit9 has launched Carbon Black 5.0, an attack detection and mitigation tool which the firm claims will allow enterprises to detect, track and defend against next-generation cyber threats.

Carbon Black 5.0 is an upgraded version of the firm's endpoint threat detection service that adds a number of new powers.

Key additions include a combined continuous endpoint recording feature that integrates with Carbon Black's live incident response capabilities.

Brian Hazzard, vice president of product management at Bit9, said that the combination of technologies radically increases the speed at which enterprise customers can detect and react to threats.

"Now responders, through one solution and console, can understand the entire attack kill chain, customise their detection, hunt for threats, isolate impacted endpoints, terminate attacks and remediate threats at the moment of compromise," he said.

"No other single solution can deliver the complete value of a continuous recorder and live response capabilities to enterprises, information retrieval companies and managed security service providers."

Other features of Carbon Black 5.0 include advanced key performance indicator dashboards, "enriched" threat intelligence and prioritisation tracking.
