Morphisec Mentioned in Gartner® Emerging Tech: Tech Innovators in Automated Moving Target Defense Report
BOSTON and BEER-SHEVA, Israel (PRWEB) July 13, 2023 -- Morphisec, the world’s leading provider of prevention-first endpoint security software, today announced its recognition as a vendor in Gartner Emerging Tech: Security - Tech Innovators in Automated Moving Target Defense[1].
Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) technologies offer a new approach for proactively preventing cyber-attacks by using defense tactics such as morphing system resources and deception to create an unpredictable attack surface that threat actors cannot compromise, strengthening an organization’s security to defend against advanced and evasive attacks. Endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR) and next-generation anti-virus (NGAV) solutions rely on recognized signatures and behavior patterns to detect and stop attacks, however adversaries increasingly use evasive and sophisticated tactics to successfully bypass the security provided by endpoint protection solutions, resulting in ransomware, zero-days and other advanced cyber-attacks.
According to Morphisec findings, over 30 percent of attacks successfully bypass EDR, XDR and NGAV solutions, including runtime attacks in memory like Emotet, Jupyter, Cobalt Strike and supply chain attacks like Log4j.
Gartner states that: “Security teams are overwhelmed with having to supply reactive defense and response. They struggle with high alert volumes and false-positives. Consequently, there is a high demand for solutions that effectively protect and strengthen cybersecurity.”
“Current security stacks operate under the premise of reactive detection,” said Michael Gorelik, Chief Technology Officer at Morphisec. “Traditional security solutions are designed to find and isolate known threats and are prone to evasive techniques. They cannot block what they cannot detect and they have difficulty stopping attacks in-memory during runtime, which is where today’s evasive threats persist and execute while exploiting legitimate processes. Coupling current endpoint security solutions together with automated moving target defense is the next evolution of cybersecurity and is a must for organizations to defend against the evolving threat landscape.”
According to Gartner: “Combining AMTD solutions at different layers of the technology stack provides innovation leaders with a highly effective ‘defense in depth’ strategy that significantly improves overall security posture.”
Morphisec’s prevention-first security (powered by AMTD) fortifies EDR, XDR and NGAV to stop attacks that those solutions miss and increase threat visibility. Its patented technology helps enterprises automate prevention, boost operational efficiency, prioritize security alerts, secure legacy systems, and achieve vulnerability visibility into risky applications based on runtime data.
“Morphisec is true prevention, without relying on signatures or behavior updates, filling the gaps of our XDR solution. They help us pass our annual audits and pentesting, boosting our BitSight scores, and reducing our cyber insurance costs”, said a CISO of a Nasdaq100 manufacturing company.
Morphisec is trusted by 5,000+ companies and prevents more than 30,000 attacks daily across more than nine million protected endpoints, servers and workloads, across Windows and Linux systems.
