Autonomous Breach Protection - a tailor made solution for Indian enterprises

We all very well understand the challenges faced by Indian enterprises while maintaining their security posture against ever evolving threat landscape within the available security budgets.

Till recent years cyber security was considered as a business need only for certain industry segments like banking, finance, law & enforcement, online retail & pharmaceuticals; which has been considered as primary targets by professional hackers, due to the importance of data they carry. But scenario is changing rapidly. Today most of the amateur hackers target some of relatively lesser secure industries like healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, etc. which has increased the overall number of successful attacks and hacks alarmingly.

Improving overall security posture of organization is need of a hour for every organization today, irrespective of it's volume and nature of business. Understanding the situation, most of the enterprises increased their IT security spendings in 2019, in order to feel the gaps and improve overall security posture. But adding the technology to the environment is one part; and integrating it with the existing technologies and get best returns out of it is another.

More than often it is observed that enterprise opts for best in class SILO tools to cover each and every aspect, but most of these solutions are set with the mere basic configurations. Many of these SILO tools do not even interact with each other to share critical alerts or to take much needed response action. Enterprises have also done hefty investments to implement best of breed SIEM tools in the recent years; but with the similar configuration limitations. Any of the security tool, may it be a prevention tool, detection & response tool or a correlation or orchestration tool; is only as good as it is configured.

Another common challenge is, in spite of using best of breed SILO tools, best in class correlation engines, etc. one limitation still remains is a lack of holistic visibility of the environment. It is highly cumbersome and in most cases impossible to get visibility of cyber kill chain in case of persistent or multistage attacks in the absence of really good Forensics tool. And as they say "Responses are as good as the visibility". Security teams continues to struggle & juggle between multiple dashboards and consoles to understand and respond to any situation. This ironically increases the efforts and response time to any incident and also severity of probable damage. And to manage such complex environment, organization also needs highly skilled and sizable security team on board; which is really hard to find and difficult to have for most of the enterprises.

Autonomous Breach Protection, a newly evolving technology space, looks like a much better and accomplished approach to address all the above challenges. The manner in which a Radar provides visibility of all the three attack surfaces to any army, air, ground and water; similarly Autonomous Breach Protection tool provides a visibility to the enterprise over all the 4 cyber attack surfaces, i.e Device, User, File and Network. This 360° visibility of enterprise vulnerability posture, makes it possible for security admin to identify attacks in early stages and to take them down before damage occurs.

Another important point is, beyond the holistic visibility aspect this technology also provides you ability to respond to the situation. So security team can respond to any alert using the remediation console within the tool. Going one step forward, team can even orchestrates remediation steps by means of defining playbooks to automate response for future use cases.

Any mid or even a large enterprise can comfortably look @ Autonomous Breach Protection platform as a unified SOC tool for managing enterprise security. The way UTM Firewall concept penetrated in network security industry around one and half decade back; Autonomous Breach Protection market is also expected to see exponential growth in 2020. It's really going to be a technology space to watch out for, for next few years. In my opinion, it is the next big thing to look for in cyber security space.

The concept of Autonomous Breach Protection is pioneered by a fast growing Israel based security organization, Cynet Inc. Cynet 360, is the first of it's kind Autonomous Breach Protection platform. Cynet's unified platform is a combination of multiple technologies like Next Gen Anti Virus (NGAV), End Point Detection and Response (EDR), Sandbox, User Behavior Analytics (UBA), Deception, Network Analytics, File Integrity Monitoring, etc. With the help of these different technologies, Cynet offers highly detailed Forensics information of any instance. Cynet's inbuilt correlation engine "Sensor Fusion" is it's brain which make sense of all the information received from different sensors and provides in depth understanding of the attack kill chain to the security team. It also weighs the severity of each event and provides a risk score for it; which enables security team to priorities their tasks. Cynet's remediation console and it's orchestration capabilities makes it a completely autonomous platform.

The icing on the cake is CyOps, the 24x7x365 SOC service extended by Cynet to their customers as a default offering, @ no extra cost. CyOps team stays alert and vigilant for Cynet's customers even during customer's off business hours.

And a cherry on top is Cynet Dashboard App which makes it accessible from anywhere anytime over iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch as well for CISOs and CIOs. This App also provides real time alerts and the capability to reach out to CyOps team @ a click of a button, if and when required. This makes Cynet 360 all the more compelling and sensible option for Indian CISOs and CIOs.

At the independent technology level Cynet 360 may or may not score @ par against best of breed SILO tools in market; but when you consider the overall impact / effectiveness and usability for the enterprise security, it can certainly score over most of the expensive enterprise security setups. Apart from simplifying IT security, Cynet 360 also reduces overall security expenditures of the organization by almost 50%.

It's technological and commercial edge certainly makes Cynet 360, a most accomplished and preferred option for Indian enterprises to strengthen their cyber security posture.
