Overview

Awake Security emerged from stealth in July 2017 and delivered the leading Security Investigation Platform. The platform builds on more than two years of R&D with over 200 enterprise security teams, tackling their biggest security challenges.

Awake Security is focused on improving organizational security by dramatically reducing the time it takes to accomplish everyday security operations tasks by automating the most onerous and frustrating parts of the process, facilitating effective collaboration across the team and improving productivity for everyone from the most junior analyst to the most experienced. Existing enterprise security tools are designed to detect and prevent threats, but provide scarce context to people tasked with investigating those threats. Newer orchestration solutions do not help in this regard either, focusing instead on automating response playbooks (formatting drives, updating firewall rules, creating service desk tickets, etc.). Organizations with investments in these areas experience an investigation gap between detection and response. The slow and inconclusive investigations that result, mean the clear majority of known critical threats never get investigated and proactive hunting for previously unknown threats is elusive for most organizations.

Awake’s Security Investigation Platform enables rapid, iterative and conclusive alert investigations and hunting by placing the context security teams need at their fingertips. The platform extracts often ignored signals from full packet capture data and then applies machine learning to automatically pre-correlate, profile and track security assets like devices, users and domains. Closing this investigation gap manually, if even possible, can take hours combing through dozens of data sources. The platform has been proven to improve productivity by 10x while helping to quickly uncover insider threats, corporate espionage, lateral movement, data exfiltration and other non-malware based threats that are often missed today.
