Incident Response

Today's IT environment constantly presents some new challenge to your organization.  Threat actors include insiders, cyber criminals, and nation-states.  Threat vectors include zero-day and targeted malware, APTs, fraud, espionage, data leakage, and much more.  Something new is always on the horizon -- but how do you obtain insight into these advanced threats?   Current security countermeasures and technologies such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), anti-virus, or log aggregation systems are failing to provide the visbility you need into the threats that are causing the most harm to your organization.

To cope with these risks to your organization you need to know everything happening across the network at all times, and you must be able to respond immediately to new threats with clear answers, pervasive and actionable intelligence, and real-time situational awareness. 

Network Security Monitoring Must EVOLVE and be AGILE

NetWitness provides the enterprise network security monitoring platform that leading organizations have adopted for incident response and digital investigations.

• NetWitness definitively answers the uncertainty around what’s really happening on your network.  For example:   Why are packed or obfuscated executables being used on our systems? What critical threats my Anti-Virus and IDS are missing? I am worried about targeted malware and APTs -- how can I fingerprint and analyze these activities in my environment? We need to better understand and manage the risks associated with insider threats – I want visibility into end-user activity and to be alerted on certain types of behavior? On our high value assets, how can we have certainty that our security controls are functioning exactly as implemented? How can I detect new variants of Zeus or other 0day malware on my network?  How can I examine critical incidents as if we had an HD video camera recording it all?
• When an incident response team member receives an alert about a problem on your network, he or she can quickly and easily use NetWitness Investigator to review the actual network traffic associated with the event that occurred and understand the content and context of the network and application level events, shortening time to resolution and providing certainty. What traffic triggered a signature? How did the target system respond and was it compromised? What other systems were implicated? What techniques were attempted in advance of the signature being triggered and what other systems were probed?
• Beyond what your current security investments provide, NetWitness Informer is an automated reporting and alerting application specifically tuned to analyze network traffic for the kinds of hacker and malware-related problems to which IDS and other current network-based countermeasures are blind, such as low and slow attacks, beacon traffic, buffer overflow attacks, and many application-layer exploits based upon protocols such as IRC, DNS, P2P tunneling traffic and more.
• NetWitness® Live is an online, 24x7 intelligence service that provides immediate access to multi-source threat-intelligence and reputational content for your NetWitness infrastructure. Organizations require the ability to determine real-time risk to electronic operations, intellectual property, and customer data flows. NetWitness Live enables automated fusion of live data from your existing NetWitness infrastructure with current threat intelligence feeds, giving you unmatched visibility into rapidly advancing risks, and strengthening your ability to identify and prioritize changes to your internal and external threat landscape.
