MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - May 5, 2016) - FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks, today announced FireEye® Security Orchestrator™ (FSO™) -- the orchestration and automation solution leading FireEye's efforts to help customers build their next generation Security Operations Center (SOC) and reduce the impact of a breach.

Enhancements to the intelligence-led FireEye Global Threat Management Platform were also announced, focusing on detecting non-malware based email attacks, providing greater visibility into attackers' lateral spread, guiding investigation activities, and offering high availability features for deploying FireEye inline.

"FireEye Security Orchestrator uses innovative technology to deliver automated playbooks informed by a decade of experience responding to sophisticated threats -- addressing the growing resource constraints that are slowing down today's security operations. As part of our mission to enable the faster, next generation SOC, FireEye is also the only company to now offer continuous inline protection powered by industry-leading MVX technology."
