Investigate Threats Faster than Ever Before

The EndaceProbe Analytics Platform allows analysts to capture, store, and analyze petabytes of Network History in real-time.OSm - Operating System for Monitoring

By going back-in-time, analysts can search recorded network traffic and find the precise “needle-in-the-haystack” packets that relate to a security threat, breach or outage, and quickly and accurately reconstruct exactly what took place.

InvestigationManager, released as part of OSm 6.5 for Endace appliances, allows analysts to conduct searches in seconds across petabytes of distributed Network History recorded by the EndaceProbe Analytics Platforms on their network.

Designed for conducting centralized, network-wide investigations, InvestigationManager is built for speed and efficiency and maintains the same ultra-fast response times whether it’s searching a single EndaceProbe or multiple EndaceProbes simultaneously. It does this by parallelizing search and data-mining across all the EndaceProbes being searched, simultaneously.

InvestigationManager is a standalone virtual server application that has a no-cost license. Multiple instances of InvestigationManager can be deployed as needed to manage or control access to Network History by region, network segment, job function or security clearance level.

Endace, a specialist in high-speed network recording, traffic playback and analytics hosting, today announced that its new, ultra-high-capacity, 9200 Series EndaceProbe™ Analytics Platform has been recognized as a Trust Award finalist in the Best Computer Forensic Solutions category for the 2019 SC Awards. The finalists and winners for the Trust Awards are chosen by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity industry. Winners will be announced at the SC Awards ceremony on March 5, 2019 in San Francisco.

“Every new year brings with it an unpredictable mix of adversity and opportunity for information security professionals,” said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. “In 2018, we watched as ransomware took down entire city governments, popular online platforms were accused of mishandling user data, and technology giants announced an unprecedented industry-wide effort to solve the Spectre and Meltdown CPU vulnerabilities. Through it all, this year’s SC Awards finalists found ways to break boundaries, overcome challenges and contribute fresh new ideas to the world of cybersecurity.”

Now in its 22nd year, SC Awards is recognized as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. With the awards, SC Media recognizes the achievements of cybersecurity professionals in the field, the innovations happening in the vendor and service provider communities, and the vigilant work of government, commercial and nonprofit entities. Vendors and service providers who offer a product and/or service for the commercial, government, educational, nonprofit or other industries are eligible for the SC Awards’ Trust Award category.

“We are honored that SC Media has recognized the breakthrough accomplishments of our new 9200 Series EndaceProbe Analytics Platform,” said Stuart Wilson, Endace CEO. “With 100% accurate packet capture and up to a petabyte of packet storage capacity on each appliance, the new 9200’s rapid search capability lets security analysts quickly find and analyze specific traffic of interest from within weeks or months of network history recorded by the EndaceProbes on their network.”

“The platform’s ability to simultaneously host third-party and open-source security solutions means customers can deploy their chosen security tools where and when they need to, giving them the agility to keep up with today’s constantly evolving threat landscape without having to change hardware to deploy new security functions,” Wilson said.

“Nobody understands the cybersecurity battle better than the cybersecurity professionals who work day in and day out to clean up and protect businesses from malicious attacks,” added Armstrong of SC Media. “Endace is one of a select few to receive this tremendous recognition of a Trust Award finalist, and they should be proud of the work this represents.”

Packets Are The Ultimate Forensic Evidence, says Cisco’s Doug Hurd

Original Entry by : Sebastian Mackay

Most organizations are overwhelmed by alerts, and 93% are unable to triage all relevant threats. On average, organizations are unable to sufficiently investigate 25% of their alerts.

(McAfee Lab’s Dec 2016 Quarterly Threat Report)

Organizations everywhere are flooded with alerts and many security teams are drowning under the deluge.

So what can security teams do to get ahead of this flood of alerts and keep their heads above water?

We posed that question – and others – to Cisco’s Alliances and Integrations Manager, Doug Hurd.

Watch this short video to hear what he had to say about the value of full packet data and why it is such a powerful complement to Cisco Firepower and Stealthwatch and how integrating Endace’s Network History can help security teams resolve alerts faster and more accurately.
