Acalvio ShadowPlex Threat Hunting provides a unique set of threat investigation capabilities that leverage cyber deception to improve Security Operations Center (SOC) efficiency. Rapid threat investigation requires narrowing the set of assets that are likely to have been compromised, quick analysis of the collected attack artifacts and automated threat hunting. ShadowPlex Threat Hunting provides capabilities in each of these three areas, besides also providing unified global visibility and situational awareness into attack progression.
ShadowPlex Threat Hunting Capabilities
Adversary Traversal
- Uses data from the enterprise data lake to trace the path of the attack through the enterprise network
Active Threat Hunting
- Enables SOC analysts to do hypothesis testing and threat confirmation using deception technology
Similarity Analysis
- Leverages data from known compromised machines to determine the list of similar exploitable assets
Link Analysis
- Links events from various security products and highlights relationships across various observations
Targeted Endpoint Forensics
Analysis of Attack Artifacts
- Machine learning based PowerShell script and log analysis, providing capability and attribution
- Memory snapshot analysis for memory-resident malware
Active Threat Hunting
Threat Hunting activities are mandatory to reduce risk and to meet the requirements of recommendations such as the NIST CyberSecurity Framework. The challenge is to execute these activities with limited staff and budget. Advanced Deception solutions are very well suited to meeting this challenge: You simply configure and deploy deception assets such that attackers who satisfy your hunting hypothesis will be attracted to them.
