IRONNET INTENSIFIES NEWEST COLLECTIVE DEFENSE PLATFORM

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 (Bernama) -- IronNet Inc (IronNet), an innovative leader Transforming Cybersecurity Through Collective Defense℠, has announced new automation capabilities of its cybersecurity platform to enable security operations centre (SOC) analysts to ‘prove the positive’ – in other words, to confirm their enterprise network is safe from cyber attacks.

Available now, IronNet’s newest Collective Defense platform enhancements offer three key benefits: increasing alert fidelity by automatically correlating patterns of suspicious behaviour across the attack kill chain, bringing to surface malicious threats that would have gone unnoticed based on a single indicator; protecting managed and unmanaged devices from malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs); and, enabling timeline analysis of APTs and pattern-of-life threat-type investigations over extended time windows for threat hunting.

As the current Russia-Ukraine situation demonstrates, the ability to prove the positive is essential, especially when the threat of cyber warfare places the financial and energy sectors at great risk.

According to a statement, nation-state cyber attacks have doubled over the last three years, and highly organised cyber criminal groups are increasingly backed by nation-states.

At the same time, alert overload and a severe talent shortage continue to plague companies and organisations. 

The IronNet Collective Defense platform addresses these challenges by allowing companies and organisations to prove the safety and health of the network through correlated alerting, automated triage, and extended hunt support.

The additional platform enhancements also improve threat hunting by providing integrated malware and ransomware detection based on automated analysis of payloads as they traverse the network. These detections protect managed and unmanaged devices (e.g., OT and IoT) from ransomware and malware.

“Nation-states are wielding cyber as an element of national power. At IronNet, we are committed to our mission of ensuring that companies and organisations across the private and public sectors have the best technological capabilities at hand to defend their networks from the impact of cyber warfare, intellectual property theft, ransomware attacks, malicious system control, and other consequences of cyber attacks,” said General (Ret) Keith Alexander, IronNet Founder and Co-CEO.
