Vectra Networks Updates Threat Detection Platform

By Eduard Kovacs on December 10, 2014

 

Vectra Networks has made some improvements to its real-time threat detection platform to help organizations protect their networks against insiders and targeted attacks.

The Vectra X-series platform is designed to detect sophisticated threats by using a combination of security research, data science and machine learning. According to the company, the product is capable of detecting attacks on all operating systems, applications and devices regardless of the method and location of the initial delivery.

The updated version of the platform introduces dynamic community threat analysis, a feature that exposes anomalous activity that might result from insider or targeted threats, and enables security teams to make informed decisions based on the proximity and potential impact of threats to the organization's key assets.

The solution automatically establishes internal communities based on internal traffic patterns. In order to make it easier for security operations teams to determine if a host or individual poses an immediate threat to key assets, which can be important users or servers, the Vectra X-series platform provides a visualization of the connections between individual hosts in the community, the company said.
