CyberFlow Analytics has developed a unique approach to securing both Enterprise IT and their expanding enterprise boundaries of Internet of Things (IoT). In the IoT world and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication present new attack vectors that organizations are typically unaware of. Enterprises are beginning to realize that while legacy security tools like SIEMs find “known threats” in Enterprise IT domains, Network Behavioral Analytics solutions such as CyberFlow can find “unknown threats” horizontally across both Enterprise and IoT domains.
“We like collecting this type of recognition but we like protecting our customers even more. Our customers are seeking a cloud scalable software-only security analytics platform for finding unknown threats in real-time and a new approach to visualizing the threat landscape. stated Steve Nye, President and CEO of CyberFlow Analytics. “We have a truly unique solution, our customers and industry experts continue to validate this.”
CyberFlow Analytics has developed a unique approach to “streaming real-time security analytics” by becoming plug and play, zero-config solution. The solution installs in less than an hour and works out of the box. Customers enjoy a no-hassle approach with little configuration, tuning or non-stop arduous rule writing required by other solutions such as SIEMs. The FlowScape system machine-learns the normal behavior of customer networks and then through Binocular Fusion Analytics™ across many different behavioral models, detects high-risk anomalies associated with known and unknown threats. FlowScape integrates with Splunk or other SIEMs in less than 15 minutes using an easy FlowScape CyberHooks™ web services integration layer.
