Detect Threats Already Inside: Machine Learning in Cyber Security

Our approach to cyber security needs a refresh. Despite all the attention lavished on keeping bad actors out, headlines show us every day that the perimeter is a sieve.  

To better secure a network, we need to add another toolset that can catch stealthy attackers who avoided the endpoint defenses.

Malware can lay dormant for months, external hackers hide in plain sight, and the risk of an internal attack can’t be underestimated. Using machine learning for cyber security gives businesses the ability to detect if their organization has been infiltrated in ways traditional tools can’t.

Darktrace, a CyVent certified partner, protects companies from silent, stealthy attacks through a combination of unsupervised machine learning and Bayesian mathematics.

Like the human immune system attacks foreign bodies that present a threat to wellbeing, Darktrace’s Enterprise Immune System does the same for organizations. By learning what is normal for an organization and its people, Darktrace is then able to spot anomalies within the environment, detecting previously unknown and in-progress attacks.

Businesses need tools to intelligently monitor their networks and automatically respond to the most serious cyber threats, especially ones that have already made it past the perimeter. Unsupervised machine learning in cybersecurity equips businesses to fight back. Download the white paper from Darktrace to learn more.

Prevention is Back: Stop Known & Unknown Threats in Zero-Time

CISOs and IT teams spend far too much time on remediation, reviewing false positives and searching for tools that can stop the latest threats.  Deep Instinct is bringing prevention back into the conversation, with proven results. 

SE Labs pitted Deep Instinct's software against a range of high-profile, known malware campaigns and a selection of unknown targeted attacks, including:

• Malware from well-publicized breaches
• Fileless targeted attacks
• Exploits targeted at Microsoft file format vulnerabilities
  
• Targeted shellcode injection attacks

Each threat was successfully prevented pre-execution with no other processes running — resulting in an industry-first 100% prevention rate and zero false-positives.

Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity: How to Align with Tier 4 NIST Framework Guidelines

With the environment, high-value assets, and even human lives at stake, strong critical infrastructure cybersecurity couldn’t be more vital.

Cyberbit, a CyVent partner, is helping organizations adhere to the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity with its Cyberbit SCADAShield.

Though IP connectivity has brought huge operational advantages to critical infrastructure organizations, it has also opened the doors to external threats that air-gapped ICS networks weren’t worried about previously.

The NIST Framework is the industry standard for ICS cybersecurity. With the Cyberbit SCADAShield, organizations can implement the NIST Framework at Tier 4 — the highest level of adaptive security.

According to NIST, “behavioral anomaly detection technology can provide a key security component in sustaining business operations, particularly those based on ICS.”

SCADAShield platform uses ICS-specific behavioral analytics and machine learning to rapidly detect anomalous behavior, including:

• Continuous ICS threat monitoring
• Asset discovery
• Considerations for the Financial Services Security Team
• Threat intelligence
• Adaptive risk management

Aligning with the NIST framework at the highest security level requires new technology solutions. In this white paper, learn more about how you can use Cyberbit behavioral analytics and machine learning technology to help keep your ICS network secure in the age of connectivity.

Explore the Challenges & Future of Cybersecurity in Demisto’s State of Incident Response Report

Technological advancements are making our work and lives easier. But securing innovative new tools? That’s never been more difficult.

Security teams continue to be overworked and understaffed, even as cybersecurity demands greater attention.

Demisto’s “The State of SOAR,” their second annual state of incident response report, takes a comprehensive look at the greatest points of concern for security teams, including:

• Rising alert volumes

• The cyber talent shortage

• Piecemeal processes and measurement

The report also takes a look into the future, diving into solutions that have the potential to address our biggest cyber challenges, including:

• Threat hunting
• Automation tools
• Machine learning solutions

Security Solutions for MSSPs in Multi-Tenant Environments

Advanced cyber attacks continue to be more prevalent with increased sophistication and are indiscriminately targeting industry sectors and organizations of all sizes.

It is especially becoming more difficult for small to mid-size organizations with limited resources to manage, monitor, and respond to advance security threats by themselves.

Because of this, organizations are becoming more reliant on Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP), who have proven technology that protects from zero-day ransomware, malware, and APT threats.

In this white paper, "Multi-Tenancy Security Solution for MSSPs" from Deep Instinct, you will learn about:

• Why there is an increased need for MSSPs to provide advanced endpoint security services
• What is required from an advanced EPP/EDR product to be managed by MSSPs
• What can be further provided by security vendors for multi-tenant management

If you have questions about MSPPs can provide your organization with advanced security services, we’re available with expert advice.  Reach out to one of our advisors.
