- Deutsche Telekom and Intel Security
collaborate on a rapid alert system for cyber-attacks
- Digital honeypots deliver new
insights
Deutsche Telekom and Intel Security today announced an agreement
to build a joint research alliance that provides immediate detailed
information for customers by implementing more robust rapid
response sensors. The collaboration focuses on digital “Honey
Pots”, computers which pretend to be vulnerable PCs, servers or
even smartphones.
“Our aim is to develop the honey pot technology into a
cyber-security sensor, that can be integrated into every connected
device. Intel Security is the ideal partner to help us fulfill this
vision,” said Thomas Tschersich, Director IT- and physical security
at Deutsche Telekom.
“The more threat intelligence we can gather without real
organizations having to sustain cyber-attacks, the greater our
collective ability to learn, anticipate and take action when real
organizations must confront such attacks,” said Vincent Weafer,
senior vice president, Intel Security’s McAfee Labs. “This honey
pot project is unique in that it leverages the global network
presence of Deutsche Telekom and the global threat intelligence and
research expertise of Intel Security, raising the bar on size and
scope for such operations.“
Today, Deutsche Telekom has an incubator test system with many
honey pots worldwide. During the research alliance, the network
will be expanded by adding new sensors. Additionally, both partners
will jointly research, how honey pots can be developed further and
be converted into a product available for customers. The
development of new sensors, which can be integrated in every
compute device is a focus of the project. Thus, customers will be
alerted faster and can upgrade their systems in case of a
cyber-attack. The research project is based on Intel’s latest
hardware and security technologies.
Today, Deutsche Telekom identifies up to 600,000 attacks daily
with their digital sensors. The Intel Security sensors record
distributed attacks and scan large portions of the web for
exploits. The technology alliance will attract criminals looking
for open ports or systems that do not have the latest security
software.
Customers with the best security capabilities will be a key
differentiator in the market. Deutsche Telekom and Intel Security’s
research with future service offerings will provide customers with
that difference.
