NETSCOUT Announces Availability of Omnis Cyber Intelligence

NETSCOUT | November 08, 2021

NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC.a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, today announced the availability of Omnis® Cyber Intelligence (OCI), the industry's fastest and most scalable network security software solution, built on the foundation of the industry's most prominent network monitoring and packet recording and analysis technology. It uniquely detects and investigates suspicious activities in real-time and retrospectively, identifies threats early in the attack life cycle to prevent infections from spreading, stops future attacks, and identifies compromised assets.

With cyberattacks increasing and breaches making front-page news, IT security teams find that their existing tools are no match for this growing threat, and both their expenses and their cyber risk are growing out of control. This is the case because the typical data sets feeding these tools are reactive, not granular, and do not extend to the earliest indications of a potential attack.

NETSCOUT's approach to turn the situation around is to leverage its market-leading visibility technology to increase the range and depth of security intelligence and make it accessible to security teams in real-time. The solution consists of an analytics stack and cyber security software sensors called Omnis CyberStreams.

NETSCOUT's Omnis Cyber Intelligence arms security teams with proactive, actionable intelligence helping them to:
  • Perform continuous scanning and analysis for reconnaissance to detect attacks earlier, minimizing exposure and, in many cases, thwarting the threat.
  • Rapidly access high-resolution historical evidence far back in time to understand how an attack started to prevent similar breaches and stop ongoing malicious activity.
  • Monitor exposed attack surfaces within their infrastructure to optimize the effectiveness of the defenses deployed.
  • Evaluate the extent of penetration and impacted assets when attacks occur to prevent malware from spreading.
  • Deploy on-premises, in virtualized data centers, and the public cloud, supporting an organization's evolving deployment preferences without impacting security governance and workflows.
  • Integrate with their security ecosystem through APIs and partnerships with leading vendors such as Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, and AWS.
As a result, the effectiveness of customers' existing security tools and the productivity of analysts improve, and they can get ahead of the vicious cycle of both rising costs and rising cyber risk.

"NETSCOUT's unique ASI technology allows companies to truly unlock the actionable intelligence embedded in network transactions and packets,Where others have failed, NETSCOUT has made the use of packet data fast and affordable with their patented metadata extraction, intelligent reduction, and indexing. Omnis Cyber Intelligence provides security analysts with the information they need to quickly and accurately assess the scope and scale of an incident and reduce the associated risk and negative impact."

Christopher Kissel, research director, security and trust products, IDC

"Enterprises have invested heavily in cybersecurity solutions, but they are largely ineffective because they lack the actionable visibility needed to spot attacks before they have broad impact," stated Sanjay Munshi, vice president, product management, NETSCOUT. "As attack surfaces expand, the Omnis Cyber Intelligence solution extends throughout the infrastructure, integrates into existing ecosystems, and becomes part of the growing movement towards XDR, using meaningful metadata, or smart data, and powerful cyber analytics to quickly get to the root cause of the cybersecurity issue and mitigate risk."

CyberArk Identity Flows includes a user-friendly workflow builder with powerful integration and orchestration capabilities for identity-related business processes, data management and security event responses. New features enable organizations to orchestrate complex responses to a potential threat or security event and act on the valuable data provided by threat monitoring and alerting systems. For example, when a security alert is triggered due to continued failed login attempts, users can be automatically moved into a “risky persons” group to restrict access to specific resources. This feature can also automatically notify relevant parties of the risk, create IT tickets, or take other actions based on security policies. The new technology integrations, available on CyberArk Marketplace, expand these capabilities to work with the industry’s leading threat detection systems, including: Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform – detects threats and provides analytics-driven risk scoring to quickly identify and prioritize new, emerging and unknown threats. CyberArk Identity Flows can gather the risk score from Gurucul and orchestrate appropriate responses and actions to reduce the manual effort associated with threat investigation and remediation while securing the associated identity(s). Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) – detects email threats and assigns a level of risk to individuals with a Very Attacked People (VAP) feature. CyberArk Identity Flows can utilize the insights provided by Proofpoint to orchestrate appropriate responses such as moving identities into different groups to change access permissions, change an authentication policy, send alerts, post notifications or create IT tickets. SentinelOne Singularity Platform – detects and hunts for threats across user endpoints, containers, cloud workloads and IoT devices. When risks are detected, CyberArk Identity Flows leverages that context to make decisions within workflow actions that need to take place across the identity infrastructure. With CyberArk Identity Flows, workflows can be built in minutes through a user-friendly visual editor and thousands of pre-built connectors to more than 700 applications. CyberArk Identity Flows now also integrates with CyberArk Identity Security Intelligence, a shared service of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform that leverages user behavior analytics to detect and remediate anomalous and risky activity by employees. When high-risk behavior is detected, CyberArk Identity Flows is used to orchestrate response actions to reduce response times to attacks to minimize risk. “Flexible automation and orchestration are critical to a proactive Identity Security program and vital to improving the security posture of our clients. That’s why we’ve been so focused on delivering new CyberArk Identity Flows innovations,” said Peretz Regev, chief product officer at CyberArk. “With these enhancements and integrations, we make it simple for organizations to use CyberArk Identity Flows to reduce IT overhead, accelerate service agility and strengthen their overall security, ultimately improving operational efficiencies.” CyberArk Identity Flows can be purchased as a standalone solution, or as part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform.

Aqua Security Launches Industry First Real-Time CSPM

Globenewswire | May 17, 2023

Aqua Security, the pioneer in cloud native security, today announced the launch of Real-Time CSPM, a next-gen cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution, offering the best visibility and context in the industry. Real-Time CSPM provides a complete view of multi-cloud security risk, pinpoints threats that evade agentless detection, and dramatically reduces noise so security practitioners can rapidly identify, prioritize, and remediate the most important cloud security risks, saving time and money. “Customers have told us that they are bogged down by too much noise from current CSPM offerings,” said Amir Jerbi, CTO and co-founder, Aqua Security. “They receive too many findings yet lack complete visibility and therefore the ability to properly prioritize. Simply put, they fix the wrong things and end up compromised. This is where Aqua comes in. We are introducing Real-Time CSPM so security practitioners can pinpoint the most significant cloud risks and remediate them quickly.” With Real-Time CSPM, teams have a complete view of cloud security risk and surface the most critical findings. This includes the ability to match correlated findings across multi-cloud environments, deduplicate findings and focus on identifying real cloud risks with smarter insights. Instead of wasting time on issues with low effective risk, customers can focus on what truly matters most and provide the context needed for resource owners to remediate quickly and secure their cloud applications. “One of the world’s largest telcos turned to Aqua to provide better visibility and context. They went from 120M risk findings to 50k and they saw a reduction in their attack surface by 99% in just months. If everything is a priority, then nothing is – that’s why they chose Aqua,” said Jerbi. Detailed context also allows teams to connect issues found in their cloud to their respective code repositories. With better prioritization and the ability to identify risk ownership, Real-Time CSPM then allows for rapid remediation of those most critical issues. Security professionals can focus their limited resources to manage, investigate and respond faster. Identify Attacks That Agentless Solutions Cannot See Point-in-time scanning opens the door for increased attacks. According to the IDC report, “The State of Cybersecurity Maturity in Vulnerability Management Among U.S. Organizations,” 74% of organizations scan less than 85% of their IT assets when they do scan, leaving an opportunity for many vulnerabilities to go undiscovered until an attacker makes use of them. By then it is too late. Aqua Real-Time CSPM eliminates that risk and delivers real-time visibility and risk prioritization in a single, unified platform for faster, more effective risk management. Unlike point-in-time scanning solutions, Aqua Real-Time CSPM provides a deeper layer of visibility for better context, leading to the ability to prioritize the most critical cloud security risks. “Other CSPM solutions give you a false sense of security. Whether you scan daily or monthly, you’re only seeing a portion of the risks with a point-in-time scan. And that’s not true security,” said Jerbi. Further data from Aqua Nautilus, Aqua’s cloud security research team, supports the need for real-time scanning. Nautilus uses an extensive honeypot network to detect and analyze over 80,000 attacks a month. Of those attacks, one in three do not leave a footprint and would be missed by point-in-time scanning solutions. Similarly, zero-day attacks are missed, whilst other standard operating procedures like ephemeral containers and transient attacks raise that number to 50%. Real-Time CSPM is part of the Aqua Cloud Security Platform, a cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). The Aqua Platform is composed of a fully integrated set of security and compliance capabilities to discover, prioritize, and eliminate risk in minutes across the full software development life cycle. Aqua improves operational efficiency by connecting cloud to code and tracing runtime risks to the code and developer who can fix them. By connecting CSPM to runtime, it shields risks that cannot be immediately addressed with a code fix. For more information on Aqua’s Real-Time CSPM, visit the blog. About Aqua Security Aqua Security stops cloud native attacks and is the only company with a $1M Cloud Native Protection Warranty to guarantee it. As the pioneer and largest pure-play cloud native security company, Aqua helps customers unlock innovation and build the future of their business. The Aqua Platform is the industry's most integrated Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), prioritizing risk and automating prevention, detection and response across the lifecycle. Founded in 2015, Aqua is headquartered in Boston, MA and Ramat Gan, IL with Fortune 1000 customers in over 40 countries. For more information, visit https://www.aquasec.com/.
