Reston, VA (PRWEB) October 28, 2015 -- IKANOW, the leader in open-source big data cyber analytics and threat prioritization, today released IKANOW Information Security Analytics.
IKANOW Information Security Analytics is the first platform to marry the strategic needs of an organization for cyber management reporting and risk assessment with the tactical need for analytic speed of big data sets to quickly prioritize active cyber threats. With this release, users are able to rapidly search all internal and external data feeds to identify and prioritize threats while streamlining communications to reduce risk and increase security operations efficiency.
The new release also provides role-based dashboards that provide cybersecurity situational awareness in context for roles ranging from CISO to cyber analyst.

Our information security analytics platform enables the fast and effective decision-making required to defeat these ubiquitous threats,” said Dave Camarata, IKANOW co-founder, president and chief executive officer. He added, “Every company is now under threat of cybersecurity attack. Criminal hackers routinely bypass firewalls and anti-virus solutions. Every enterprise must actively monitor threats, but the data deluge is overwhelming for most security operations. IKANOW Information Security Analytics is designed to cut through the noise of security alerts to focus on rapidly identifying and prioritizing active risks.”
According to a top five U.S. bank, IKANOW’s information security analytics platform increased the efficiency of their information security team by 50 percent. IKANOW’s platform allowed them to more quickly identify relevant cyber threats and then prioritize and triage responses.
