SecBI extends its threat detection solution with automated response

SecBI, a disruptive player in cyber threat management, announced the extension of its agent-less, threat detection solution with automated response. Now security operations centers (SOC) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) can benefit from a comprehensive solution including detection, investigation, and automated response that delivers significant boosts in effectiveness and productivity.

Despite the intuitive coupling of automated response with advanced, machine-learning detection, the SOAR (security, orchestration, automated response) solutions available on the market typically fall short of offering both functionalities.

“Talk about scaling the SOC often seems to involve a connected series of fools’ errands,” said Hugh Taylor, industry analyst and executive editor of Journal of Cyber Policy.

“People try to build organizations they can’t staff and automate for scenarios they can’t imagine. It doesn’t work. What SecBI is doing to fight this seemingly unwinnable battle is to automate the response process using AI. This way, the SOC is reacting intelligently, even to previously unknown threats, without having to resort to a playbook. Now, you can actually scale the SOC.”

“Until now, ‘automation’ in a SOC has referred to playbook and workflows, ignoring all the progress made in advanced detection,” said Gilad Peleg, CEO of SecBI. “SecBI’s flavor of automation offers both data-driven detection powered by our proprietary Autonomous Investigation™ technology, and flexible, automated response that meets the requirements of every SOC and MSSP.”

Security operations using SecBI’s automated detection and response solution will benefit from:

• Full scope detection of suspicious incidents
• Drastically improved analyst productivity
• Instant coupling of detection with comprehensive response to threats, preventing damage, dwell time or further infection
• Better prevention due to automatic delivery of information from response mechanisms

“When using automation via playbooks alone, analysts are plagued by large numbers of false positives and partial information on sporadic anomalies, often causing them to miss the stealthy threats,” added Peleg. “The level of automation provided by our new version truly constitutes a breakthrough in cyber security.”
