The ultimate goal of most insider attacks is to steal data. Just one insider threat incident can cost your organization up to $3 million. Learn when disclosure is protected and how to stay ahead of malicious attacks in this blog.
Discover in this blog why many organizations are struggling with the burden of maintaining IDPS deployments and how security teams can instead concentrate on detecting and mitigating active threats inside the network with network detection and response.
Learn how IDPS is ill-equipped to detect what is known as lateral movement, east-west traffic, or simply attackers moving around inside your deployments due to reliance on signatures and being deployed at the network perimeter.
Consider getting rid of IDPS and the noise it creates and check out detecting and stopping cyberattacks using NDR. Free-up your security analysts to focus on investigations and threat-hunting instead of tweaking signatures.
Privileged access is a key part of lateral movement in cyberattacks because privileged accounts have the widest range of access to critical information, making them the most valuable assets for attackers. The recent Twitter Hack compromising several high-profile accounts becomes another stark example.
MFA is a great step to take, but there are always ways around preventive controls. One of the well-known MFA bypass techniques is the installation of malicious Azure/O365 OAuth apps. Learn why you need to implement detection-based solutions.
Vectra announces a partnership and deep product integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (EDR) and Microsoft Azure Sentinel (SIEM) to further our extensive partner ecosystem and allow our customers to leverage the tools they already are using.
Modern SOCs today are looking for tools that can give them complete visibility into user endpoints, multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem networks, as well as correlation and forensic capabilities. In this search, the SOC visibility triad has emerged as the de-facto standard.
PAA enables SOC teams to monitor and defend against these types of attacks. In addition to our extensive models that detect command-and-control channels, this make the Cognito platform a powerful tool to combat evolving malware attacks against enterprises.
In infosec, the concept of “zero trust” has grown significantly in the last couple of years and has become a hot topic. A zero-trust architecture fundamentally distrusts all entities in a network and does not allow any access to resources until an entity has been authenticated and authorized to use that specific resource, i.e. trusted.
Since the early days of Vectra, we’ve been focused primarily on host devices. After all, hosts are the entities that generate the network traffic the Cognito platform analyses in looking for attacker behaviors.
For the second year in a row, we conducted the Vectra superhero survey at Black Hat. The survey is a quick six-question poll that helps us understand the current cloud adoption and top-of-mind concerns of attendees.
