MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2015) - FireEye, Inc. (
The SAFETY Act -- or the "Support Anti-Terrorism By Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002" -- is a DHS liability management program aimed at encouraging the development and deployment of security products and services that will enhance the protection of the United States. DHS has designated over 700 products, technologies and services since the SAFETY Act was enacted in 2002, but FireEye's MVX and DTI offerings are the first pure cyber security products, technologies or services to receive Certification. The liability protections provided by the SAFETY Act encourage more effective security deployments by automatically limiting the types of liability claims companies using certain products may face following a terrorist event.
"FireEye is proud to earn this first-ever SAFETY Act Certification in the cyber security space, bringing a new level of liability protection for our customers," said David DeWalt, CEO and Chairman of the Board, FireEye. "This Certification validates our position as the leader in the advanced cyber security market, and is further evidence that our visionary work continues to represent the cutting edge of cyber defense."
In circumstances where the SAFETY Act is triggered under Federal law, claims that arise out of, or relate to the use of, the MVX engine or the DTI cloud would be limited or eliminated for FireEye customers. FireEye also benefits, as when the SAFETY Act is triggered, all covered third party claims related to the MVX engine and DTI cloud platform product will presumptively be dismissed.
"With this Certification, FireEye can offer the growing number of organizations that choose our MVX engine and DTI cloud platform even greater confidence that they are receiving not only best-in-class technology, but also an opportunity for unmatched liability protections in the unfortunate event of litigation," said DeWalt.
