Threat Intelligence Timely Breach Detection with EventTracker CyberShieldThe first moment a hacker crosses into your network is critical. If you miss the initial signs, the hacker is in, and ready to attack your enterprise while remaining below your radar. The longer it takes to discover an attacker, the more deeply he becomes embedded, stealing and exfiltrating your critical assets.

According to a 2013 Ponemon Institute report, it takes an average of 80 days for an organization to discover a data breach and over 4 months to resolve it. A 2014 study by the same group found the average cost of a data breach to be $5.5 million. It’s ironic that the companies which can least afford to be the victim of an attack are generally also companies that can’t afford large IT teams.

Besides the expense of having enough resources to secure the network, there are other reasons that timely breach detection is so complicated. Organizations are faced with an overwhelming amount of data on a daily basis, but lack an efficient and effective way to analyze it. As attacks evolve rapidly, it becomes increasingly difficult to respond in a timely and effectual manner

EventTracker CyberShield is an affordable, proactive approach to breach detection. A complete cyber security monitoring service, it uses global and local threat intelligence to help you identify an attack and allow you to take immediate action and protect your organization.

What is Threat Intelligence?

Threat Intelligence is evidence-based information which has been acquired and analyzed to assess a malicious actor’s possible capabilities and opportunities. The information is collected and disseminated by global sources, allowing organizations to determine if the threat poses a danger to their local assets. Threat intelligence can be used to inform decisions regarding the possible responses to a potential threat.

EventTracker CyberShield provides formal support to automatically import and use such lists, enabling you with information about organized cyber-security risks, such as those posed by state-sponsored attacks, or hacking collectives, whose preferred breaching methods include APTs, or by internal threats who use their access to your network to cause damage.

How it WorksOur Cyber Security Monitoring Sensor is deployed on your critical end points and our powerful behavior correlation technology separates normal network, system and user activities from abnormal activities, which are examined and rated by our trained security experts in real-time.

EventTracker CyberShield learns and analyzes your enterprise’s remote communication patterns and extracts uncharacteristic communication patterns and compares them against global threats to identify potential breaches as they are happening.

So what happens when CyberShield detects an intrusion?

First, it automatically shuts down your critical systems to stop the breach from expanding, and sends you notifications of what is happening. Your tech team will be alerted to investigate the questionable communication. If it is approved, it will be added to the white list where it will be referenced if the same event occurs.
