TELUS Security Solutions delivers the detailed vulnerability research Third Brigade needs to shield its enterprise customers from costly intrusions.
- Third Brigade receives regular, detailed analyses of critical new server and desktop application vulnerabilities identified by TELUS research labs
- This provides Third Brigade with the engineering information it needs to better protect its customers against attacks that attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities
- TELUS allows Third Brigade to better meet the service level agreements required to successfully shield its customers from vulnerabilities in a wide range of enterprise software applications
Any organization that opens its doors to online business also opens itself to the possibility of costly intrusions. Hackers, intent on data and identity theft, fraud, business disruption or other illegal activities, constantly search for vulnerabilities in the operating systems and the enterprise and Web applications organizations rely on.
"These software applications can have hundreds of vulnerabilities in them," explains Dhanya Thakkar, VP at Third Brigade.
"Cyber-criminals and insiders can readily identify them, bypass or penetrate perimeter defenses, and then exploit them. We provide an additional layer of defense that shields our enterprise customers from these costly intrusions."
Third Brigade Deep Security is an advanced, host-based intrusion defense system that brings proven network security approaches, including firewall and intrusion detection and prevention, down to individual networked computers and devices. Its high performance, deep packet inspection engine examines all packet and payload data, and logs and can block any traffic – inbound or outbound – that violates a security profile.

Financial services, telecommunications, government, health care and other organizations depend on Third Brigade as part of their defense-in-depth strategy.
TELUS Security Solutions provides Third Brigade, and over 30 other top international security companies, with detailed vulnerability information. This research is used by Third Brigade to develop security updates that shield these newly discovered vulnerabilities. "We subscribe to a range of high quality public and private sources of vulnerability information, including the research provided by TELUS," says Thakkar. "When TELUS identifies a vulnerability, they notify us by email. Within eight hours, we see a preliminary report, and within 24 hours, we get a full report that provides detailed insights into the exact nature of the problem. As a result, we can develop a shield much more quickly and effectively."
Thakkar points out that the decision to use TELUS Security Solutions’ vulnerability research was based on quality, not cost.
