DEFENDING AGAINST TIRELESS ADVERSARIES

AI-powered context for external threats

Threat intelligence, correlation rules, and training are not always enough. While defenses for external threats are improving, the diversity and evolving nature of attacks require additional AI-powered context using machine learning (ML) and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA).

Some Attack Methods Evade Detection

No matter what your security vendor claims, external attackers consistently find ways to bypass defenses. Once inside, you are likely oblivious to their presence.

Exabeam helps eliminate blindspots with an AI-powered platform that can identify and report on abnormal activity coming from external attackers, providing purpose-built investigation and response capabilities. This includes malware, unauthorized access, phishing, ransomware, and attacker reconnaissance.

Mitigate Malware Attacks

Exabeam analyzes web, DNS, and endpoint activities to rapidly detect malware entering or operating on an endpoint. It tracks abnormal malware behavior, such as unusual processes or file activity, using UEBA. Timelines automatically visualize events based on risk, while malware checklists assist analysts in investigations, such as identifying known malware. The malware playbook automates workflows, including sandbox file detonation.

Detect and Respond to Ransomware

With real-time data analysis, Exabeam can detect techniques and behaviors commonly associated with ransomware attacks, providing visibility into credential use, vulnerable assets, and suspicious processes or commands aimed at encrypting critical files or disabling recovery mode. Analysts can quickly investigate and respond using timelines, guided checklists, and playbooks, ensuring early intervention and appropriate next steps.

Abnormal Authentication and Access

Exabeam analyzes key data sources to detect unusual behavior like attempting to log in from a different country for the first time or at an unusual time. Exabeam contextualizes anomalous activities like login location, time, and methods based on historical user and peer behaviors. User labels such as “suspected leavers” provide an additional layer of protection, allowing analysts to identify high-risk events before an incident occurs.

Identify and Respond to Phishing Attacks

Exabeam detects phishing attacks and generates a list of compromised users. UEBA detections provide additional context to stop active compromises. A phishing checklist prescribes detailed response actions and the phishing playbook automates workflows, such as verifying threat intelligence against link reputations or email attachments.

USE CASE

Compliance

Using manual processes and disparate products to meet regulatory requirements like GDPR, PCI DSS, and SOX exposes an organization to unnecessary risk. The stakes are high when considering audit failures, fines, and — worst case — disclosure reporting.

Insider Threats

Is it a trusted insider, or an adversary posing as a trusted insider? Signatures and rules can’t help when valid credentials are in the hands of an adversary. Organizations can’t fight what they can’t see.
