At GITEX, Vectra will show how its new flagship platform can address what El-khayat calls the “spiral of more” — more attack surface, more sophistication in attack methods, more tools, more rules, more security analyst burnout.
Vectra AI has announced its participation in the upcoming GITEX Global 2023, where the company will introduce the region to a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity platform built for the modern hybrid environment.
“Cyber leaders long to be resilient to the twisting evolution of the hybrid threat landscape. They want to modernize security operations with AI but do not feel able to justify to their colleagues the budgets associated with rip and replace. Nonetheless, they feel that without the ability to stay one step ahead, or at least keep up, with the adversaries, a major cyber incident is inevitable,” said Taj El-khayat, Area VP, EMEA South, Vectra AI.
The Vectra AI platform allows organizations to integrate Vectra AI’s public cloud, identity, SaaS, and network signal with existing endpoint detection and response (EDR) signal to arm SOC teams in their fight against the ever-growing sophistication, speed, and scale of hybrid attacks. The Vectra AI Platform integrated signal enables security teams to cover more than 90% of MITRE ATT&CK techniques with patented and proven MITRE D3FEND countermeasures. Teams can also combine AI-driven behavior-based detection, signatures, and threat intelligence for the most accurate representation of active attacks in progress. They can map the progression of an attack, including any lateral movement from data center to cloud, cloud to data center, and cloud to cloud.
“We believe the current approaches to threat detection and response leave organizations exposed — Integrated signal is the only way forward in protecting the modern IT environment, which is increasingly hybrid in nature,” El-khayat emphasized. This is the key message Vectra is planning to communicate to public and private sector entities across the region, at the upcoming GITEX 2023. Vectra’s GITEX exhibit will feature demo pods highlighting each aspect of the company’s new AI platform — Cloud Detection and Response, Identity Detection and Response, Network Detection and Response, Managed Detection and Response, Investigation and Threat Hunting, and Respond UX Powered by AWS.
