Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform and NEC, a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, announced a partnership to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions and services to large and medium enterprises in Brazil.

NEC and Cybereason share a vision to bring advanced cybersecurity solutions to the Brazilian market.

Cybereason recently introduced new, first-to-market prevention capabilities to its Endpoint Protection portfolio.

"After evaluating many vendors, we chose to partner with Cybereason because they offer the broadest and strongest endpoint protection in a single, highly integrated, scalable and easy to operate platform. Cybereason’s ability to generate the deepest and fastest attack insights (2019 MITRE ATT&CK™ evaluation results), will enable NEC to offer the best cybersecurity protection to our joint customers, directly, and through our partner network. Partnering with Cybereason is a truly important next step in further fortifying our leadership and commitment to the Brazilian market,” said Rogerio Reis, Vice President of Security at NEC in Brazil.

Together with NEC, we will deliver the best cyber defense platform to the Brazilian market, which will help defenders find and eliminate sophisticated breaches faster than any other platform in the world,” said Lior Div, Cybereason’s Co-Founder and CEO.

“It’s a new world out there in terms of cyber-attacks’ magnitude, complexity and speed. The technology and level of knowledge required to effectively defend and respond to today’s threats is exponentially higher than what it used to be. We are thrilled to partner with NEC, for their deep Brazilian market knowledge, cybersecurity expertise, and modern São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro SOCs. Together, we will set a new high standard of attending to the growing Brazilian market needs,” said Eyal Eshel, Vice President LATAM, Cybereason.
