Reactive vs Proactive: The cyber security community’s techniques and procedures for network protection have remained fundamentally unchanged over the past two decades. Organizations typically focus their efforts on compliance and “building a bigger firewall”, however, the problem is cyber actors adhere to the 80/20 rule: 80% of malicious actors can be stopped by sound compliance measures, while the other 20% can penetrate a network no matter the level of security in place. Furthermore, the 20% pool of actors is growing each day, fine-tuning their capabilities and expanding their targeting efforts into more industries.
Companies continue to purchase millions of dollars worth of intelligence feeds and monitoring tools – yet they still get hacked at an increasing and alarming rate (check out this interactive infographic on the World’s Largest Data Breaches). The effects of successful cyber attacks can range from minor customer frustrations or a tarnished reputation, to catastrophic financial damage and even loss of life. The majority of organizations today are stuck in a reactive state – constantly on their heels, waiting for the next attack, then responding with forensics and damage-control.
We provide an open, extensible analytical framework to create a holistic intelligence environment and construct a proactive cyber defense. The Ikanow platform allows you to integrate disparate internal and external threat feeds, create custom dashboards and visualizations for advanced analytics, and facilitates collaboration and timely reporting throughout your organization. We’ve teamed up with industry experts to provide consulting and support services, presenting an all-in-one solution to the cyber threat and a forward-thinking perspective from lessons learned in the U.S. Intelligence Community. With our intel-based approach, we can detect the anomalies and trends missed by standard compliance tools and limit the damage caused by malicious actors.
Whether known or unknown unknowns, we’ve got you covered. Due to the flexibility of Ikanow’s open source platform, you’re enabled to conduct the full range of cyber capabilities in one powerful toolbox:
