Overview

Vectra Networks enables global organizations to reduce risk and operate with a clear and accurate measurement of their risk profile. With Vectra, security teams always know about active threats and have a real-time score for threat and certainty levels of an attack.

Organizations traditionally rely on prevention security at the network perimeter – firewalls, IDS/IPS, malware sandboxes. While prevention security focuses on detecting malware and exploits, Vectra focuses on detecting the malicious behaviors of attackers as they spy, spread and steal – this is a key differentiator.

A new class of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) defense, the Vectra X-Series Platform bridges the security gap between prevention security at the perimeter and log managers and SIEM tools that are useful for post-breach analysis. The Vectra X-Series Platform picks up where prevention security leaves off by providing deep, ongoing analysis of raw internal and Internet-bound traffic to detect threats in every phase of an active cyber attack – automatically and in real time. These active attack phases include command and control, internal reconnaissance, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and botnet monetization.

Without relying on signatures or reputation lists, Vectra detects and mitigates cyber attacks as they are happening. It automatically correlates threats to the hosts that are under attack and prioritizes the ones that pose the highest risk based on their proximity to key assets. This enables security teams to respond with unprecedented speed, accuracy and efficiency – before attackers cause damage and public embarrassment.

Vectra also eliminates the time and complexity of manually sifting through volumes of alerts and logs that often turn out to be false positives. Vectra detects threats and targeted attacks on all devices, operating systems and applications.
