Take action early and often
Gartner-validated approach to identifying behaviors in the early stages of an attack like command-and-control and reconnaissance behaviors found in today’s compromises.
Add efficiency to your security workflow
Vectra customers achieved a 34X workload reduction for Tier-1 SOC analysts in detection, triage, correlation and prioritization of security incidents.This enables security operations teams to focus on compromised devices that pose the highest risk.
“This solution excels at rolling up numerous alerts to create a single incident to investigate that describes a chain of related activities, rather than isolated alerts that an analyst then has to piece together.”

Identify privileged accounts, hosts and services
The Cognito platform uses AI to continuously monitor the behaviors of users, hosts and services in your network, cloud or SaaS applications. By observing how access is being used, rather than how privilege is assigned you gain complete visibility into the privileged assets that attackers target in your network, and can detect internal threats such as rouge admins.
Anticipate attacks in progress
Look at interactions between privileged accounts, hosts and services to identify:
The Cognito network detection and response platform dynamically adjusts risk scores as attacks unfold and automatically integrates privileged analytics into incident rollups.

Identifying data access and theft
The Cognito platform implements a suite of detection algorithms that identify hidden attackers who gain access to critical resources. This often indicates that operational disruption or data exfiltration is imminent.
To identify these malicious behaviors, supervised and unsupervised machine detection algorithms identify the early tell-tale signs of attack, including:

Hunt using security-enriched network metadata
Whether sourced from an analyst’s daily workflow or open source intelligence, the first step in threat hunting is to make sure that the attributes necessary to answer investigative queries are readily available.
This is precisely why Vectra uses AI engines to extract security insights that are embedded in our metadata. Notable security enrichments include beaconing activity, domain rarity and privilege level of relevant entities.
Security-enriched network metadata is fed directly to data lakes and SIEMs. Or dive deep into the metadata using Cognito Recall, Vectra’s investigative workbench optimized for threat hunting, incident analysis and sub-second searches at scale.
