(Alliance News) - Avast PLC on Wednesday announced it has partnered with Recorded Future, a provider of intelligence for enterprise security headquartered near Boston, Massachusetts.
The Prague-based cybersecurity provider said it will deliver intelligence on "common vulnerabilities and exploit prevalence" to Recorded Future, contributing to its real-time intelligence reports shared with clients.
Avast said the Recorded Future Intelligence Platform gives organisations the ability to "accelerate detection, decision making, and response times by putting real-time intelligence at the centre of security workflows and sending daily threat intelligence reports to its customers."
The information from the reports will allow companies to prioritise alerts, calculate risk scores for patching and decide how to handle a threat or cybersecurity incident, Avast said.
"The work that Recorded Future does is so important in helping enterprises spot and mitigate vulnerabilities. We are pleased to be able to collaborate with them and share our threat intelligence so they can better inform their customers. We look forward to working with them in an increased capacity in the future," said Avast Chief Technology Officer Michal Pechoucek.
On Tuesday, Avast had reported first-quarter revenue rose 11% year-on-year to USD237.1 million from USD214.6 million, while adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 10% to USD133.7 million.
It now expects full-year revenue growth at the upper end of the guided range of 6% to 8%.
Shares in Avast were down 0.2% at 476.58 pence in London on Wednesday.
