Why Now
a cyberattack occurs every
Prevention does not provide the security coverage you require
Traditional approaches have major flaws.
The top 3 major flaws of traditional security approaches according to a Gartner Research note*
Lack of security training
It is assumed that widely-known threat vectors are covered by defense technologies that are often left in monitoring mode after unintended business disruption, due to false positives or misconfigurations.
Dwell time is an astounding 49-150 days (depending on industry) according to the 2020 Verizon DBIR.
Legacy approaches
Reuse old security approaches to secure new ways of conducting business.
68% of the time, security environments were not able to prevent or detect the approaches being tested.

Lack of the right tools
Spend disproportionate amounts of resources and budgets trying to block a threat that cannot be blocked.
Data exfiltration techniques and tactics were successful 67% of time.

Why Vectra
The Cognito platform for NDR is in 100% service of detecting and responding to attacks inside cloud, data center, IoT, and enterprise networks. Our job is to find and stop those attacks early and with certainty. The Cognito platform meets SOC 2 Type 2 compliance standards, ensuring the security and confidentiality of our partners' and customers' data.
Benefits of Using the Vectra Cognito Platform
Automates threat detections
Always-learning behavioral models use AI to efficiently find hidden and unknown attackers in real time to enable quick, decisive action and provide a clear starting point for AI-assisted threat hunting and response.
Empowers threat hunters
Launch deeper and broader investigations of incidents detected by Cognito and other security controls and hunt retrospectively for undetected threats. Security insights automatically sorts and presents relevant information on detections, speeding up investigations.
Provides visibility across entire deployment
Real time collection, analysis and storage of rich network metadata, relevant logs and cloud events provides high-fidelity visibility into the actions of all cloud and data center workloads, and user and IoT devices, leaving attackers with nowhere to hide.
Captures once and does many things
One platform collects, analyzes and enriches metadata, augmented by relevant logs and cloud events, to enable real time automated attack detection, AI-assisted threat hunting, retrospective threat hunting and incident investigation.
Cognito is an open platform that takes an API-first approach and strives to be partner- and vendor-neutral. This enables security professionals to leverage best-in-class solutions to build topflight security infrastructures that provide 360-degree visibility on a massive scale.

Check Out How It WorksOur Customers
“We’ve been a customer of Vectra for four years now. We’ve grown with the product and believe behavior detection is something we need to augment the signature detections that we have in place .”
“With Cognito, I can focus on the highest-risk threats. With other solutions, I have to filter to get rid of hundreds or thousands of false positives.”
“Vectra saved the A&M System $7 million in a year and we cut threat investigation times from several days to a few minutes.”
“What makes Vectra stand out is its ability to understand attack behaviors. To put it simply, Vectra’s advanced AI and machine learning understand that Live Nation clients don’t buy tickets. Only fans buy tickets.”
“We used to have tens of thousands of events. With Vectra, I only have to deal with 10 or 12 critical events that I can investigate further.”
“Vectra is passionate about putting the customer first.”
“Vectra makes threat hunting more efficient. With Cognito, we can monitor and detect threats as quickly as possible.”
“With Cognito we can stop threats before they cause damage.”
“With Cognito, we can see if an exploit kit is being downloaded and if it was laterally distributed in the network. We have visibility into behaviors across the full lifecycle of an attack beyond the internet gateway.”
“Cognito filled a gap. We needed to know what we didn’t know, and Cognito showed us what was hidden.”
