Deep Instinct and Consist Software Solutions GmbH to join forces in future

MUNICH - KIEL, May 11, 2022 - Deep Instinct, the first company to apply end-to-end Deep Learning to cybersecurity, and Consist Software Solutions GmbH, a specialist for IT Security, Digital Transformation and Managed Services, announce their partnership today.  

This cooperation in the German-speaking region adds another innovative solution approach to the IT security portfolio of Consist Software Solutions. In light of current cyber threats, Deep Instinct's solution, which is designed for prevention, is thus an important component of an interlocking security strategy for Consist's enterprise customers.  

Consist Software Solutions has more than 35 years of experience as an expert of a holistic range of services and solutions. In addition to IT security, this includes aspects such as the conception, development, and integration of individual IT solutions and IT landscapes. The service extends to the support of applications and systems. The company understands a successful IT security approach and the Deep Instinct solution brings the appropriate features. 

"Deep Instinct ideally complements our range of professional cybersecurity solutions. Based on Tanium, the leading tool for endpoint security, Deep Instinct uses artificial intelligence (AI) to enable the prevention and detection of cyber attacks in real time. With the new partnership, we can build and operate a highly integrated security platform with cutting-edge technology for our customers from a single source," says Martin Lochte-Holtgreven, CEO of Consist Software Solutions GmbH.

How Deep Learning fits in  

A long-term successful IT security strategy only works with a holistic approach - in this respect, Deep Instinct with its Deep Learning solution fits very well into Consist's security portfolio, especially as an extension of the SOC services. For Consist, as a Managed Security Service Provider, this results in unbeatable advantages in terms of false positive rates, speed, resources - and this is also insured. 

"We are very pleased to be able to call Consist our partner. We appreciate their approach of putting people first while creating forward-looking solutions in an increasingly challenging digital world," says Ralph Kreter, Area VP Central and Eastern Europe at Deep Instinct.

"Deep Learning is a good fit here with its combination of speed and accuracy that can help organisations detect incoming attacks as quickly as possible. And that's before any serious damage is done. By reducing the false positive rate, thanks to the early detection of unknown malware as such, fewer mistakes are made. This also saves the security teams time and nerves," Ralph Kreter explains further.  

The coexistence of cybersecurity and automation  

Although deep-learning technology "trains itself" with data sets, and can thus detect unknown malware in advance, this does not mean that the security aspect is (or should be) completely automated. The motto is balance between human factor and automated processes - while artificial intelligence takes over big data, it is still a team of IT experts and CISOs who ultimately evaluate the false positive alerts.  

This balance must not be dismissed when regulations such as the IT Security Act 2.0 come into effect, putting even more pressure on companies to comply with the new standards. Automation from 0 to 100 cannot be the solution, and Deep Instinct offers a supportive middleground.
