Overview

Modern Attacks Rely on Credentials
To attackers, external or internal, valid credentials are a coveted asset. Whether the attacker is a rogue insider or someone who has obtained valid credentials through social engineering techniques, the ability to roam the network with impunity puts valuable data at risk. In log data, activities are easily hidden due to the inability to see the subtle differences in behaviors and access characteristics. Yet, this phase of the classic attack chain often represents the lengthiest portion of the attack.

Overwhelmed by Security Noise
Thousands of security events are reported every day, all fighting for attention. Security analysts are entering the workforce with less and less real world experience. There’s no longer a place for complex tools that make you click-and-pivot through an ocean of data asking questions of your data one at a time.

Normal and Risky Activity:
The Behavioral Difference
The hardest problem for the security team becomes separating risky behaviors from normal user behaviors. Employees and the attackers that impersonate them have different objectives and divergent behaviors. Rogue insiders behave differently from their peers. Subtle behavioral differences and access characteristics aren’t captured and tracked in your security information and event management system.
