New eBook: The Seven Struggles of Detection and Response

Many of the CISOs we meet are debating what approach to take for detecting advanced persistent threats (APTs) in their network. Organizations have started accepting the fact that they will eventually get breached and, in fact, their environment may already be compromised.

This new threat landscape requires the addition of proactive endpoint detection and response (EDR) to the organization’s security strategy. Proactive detection, also known as cyber hunting, closes the gaps that traditional security tools, such as firewalls, antivirus software and sandboxes, neglect. Hunting for adversaries results in cyber attacks being detected earlier in their lifecycle, potentially limiting the amount of damage a breach can cause.

However, organizations that attempt to manually hunt adversaries face a time-consuming and inefficient process. This is where automated detection plays a role.

Our new eBook "The Seven Struggles of Detection and Response" introduces the concept of proactive breach detection and discusses its advantages. It discusses the ways manual detection hinders a security team’s productivity and offers an alternative, automated approach.
