and visualization platform that surfaces threats, not just events showing the true security
posture, can become a virtual partner to help detect and defend against threats before they
emerge.

Behavioral Analytics

An advanced type of artificial intelligence employs machine learning algorithms and big data
analytics to build behavioral profiles of your user and entity activity within your network. These
systems learn to identify anomalous behaviors over time based on new emerging data.

Prevention & Response

Security analysts investigate network abnormalities, block data exfiltration and deliver
actionable intelligence to organizations’ security teams. They also provide exhaustive
remediation guidance to help security teams stop cyber-attacks in their tracks. However, at
nearly a million new threats arising everyday this manual approach is no longer enough. Newer
solutions are coming to market that not only combine cyber-threat intelligence with UEBA
functionality but also prevent and respond to threats. Such solutions have the ability to automate
actions to block a user or even add a threat to a blacklist.

There are numerous new and innovative approaches to cybersecurity, including Seceon’s OTM,
that aim to help organizations improve their situational analysis of emerging and constantly
evolving insider and cyber threats. Artificial intelligence driven solutions help build contextual
awareness and abstract meaning from the vast amount of data generated by existing security
analytics systems.

Given the growing incidence of insider and cyber breaches, it's likely time for your organization
to invest in a highly effective situational awareness threat platform that combines situational
awareness, UEBA, prevention and response into a single solution.

By thinking like an attacker and using data and analytics to monitor behaviors and interactions,
companies can better prepare their defenses and turn the tide against costly breaches.
