BEDFORD, Mass., July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
RSA NetWitness Suite is built to:
- Apply advanced technology created to quickly analyze,
prioritize, and investigate threats in less time, diminishing
impact on the business
- Monitor a broader set of attack vectors and provides users with
a deeper understanding of an attack for rapid and effective
response
- Utilize crowd sourced threat intelligence that can dramatically
reduce the time from an attack discovery to general awareness
across the RSA NetWitness community
RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today unveiled
the RSA NetWitness Suite, an advanced threat detection and response
solution that helps security teams detect and understand the full
scope of a compromise like never before. Adding new threat
intelligence, behavioral, and automated analytics capabilities to
one of the industry's most advanced security analytics solution,
the RSA NetWitness Suite is engineered to provide a deep level of
insight that security teams need to contain and ultimately
eradicate threats and limit consequential business impacts.
The sophistication of threat actors and the expanding attack
surface make it nearly impossible for security teams to discover
and understand the scope of compromises before they damage the
business. While threat actors may employ multiple attack methods,
security teams often make decisions based on what is seen at a
single point in time or for a single incident without understanding
the full attack campaign. This can inadvertently tip off an
adversary and actually help attackers improve their tactics or
cover their tracks, which can make detection and accurate response
more challenging. The RSA NetWitness Suite has been optimized to
monitor a far broader set of attack vectors while capturing
activity over long periods of time. This promotes a much more
comprehensive and deeper level of understanding so security teams
can be more effective in shutting down an entire attack campaign
instead of merely resolving a single incident. Analysts will be
able to drill down and record, replay, and connect incidents over
time and across endpoints, networks, and into the cloud to decipher
the full scope of an attack. By applying sophisticated technology
to analyze, prioritize, and investigate threats, security teams
should be able to respond to advanced attacks in minutes and hours,
not days or months.
New capabilities within the RSA NetWitness Suite include, Live
Connect that is designed to enable organizations to utilize and
operationalize real-time, crowd sourced threat intelligence from
the RSA customer, partner, and research communities for faster
threat identification and more informed incident prioritization.
The suite also is engineered to include improved threat detection
by combining recently introduced behavioral analytics with data
science models and machine learning that does not require advanced
knowledge of specific attacks or signatures, rules, or analyst
tuning.
Fast-moving attacks that target strategic business assets with
precision and escalating impact are now the norm. Organizations
recognize the impact that these advanced threats present to
infrastructure, reputation, and financial health but research shows
they are slow to detect and respond to these threats. The latest
RSA Threat Detection Survey, issued at RSA Conference 2016,
revealed 92 percent of organizations feel they cannot detect
threats very quickly and 89 percent feel cannot investigate fast
enough. The RSA NetWitness Suite is designed to offer organizations
a unified solution that helps analysts identify and understand
compromises so they can detect and respond to threats before they
have a negative business impact.
The RSA NetWitness Suite includes RSA NetWitness Logs, RSA
NetWitness Packets, RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and RSA NetWitness
SecOps Manager – formerly RSA Security Analytics, RSA ECAT and RSA
SecOps, respectively. The RSA NetWitness Suite is generally
available
RSA NetWitness Suite is a key component of RSA's strategy to
deliver Business-Driven Security to organizations seeking to
transform their security strategy and more directly link security
details to broader business impact.

NOC at Black Hat 2016 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV on July
30 to August 4, 2016, or visit RSA Booth #1108. For

EXECUTIVE QUOTE:
Grant Geyer, Senior Vice
President, Products, RSA
"Attackers are taking advantage of
the silos created by disjointed point security products that
frequently prevent organizations from having a full view of an
incident. Oftentimes, this results in incidents being
prematurely remediated without fully eradicating the threat and
potentially even tipping off the attacker to weaknesses. RSA
NetWitness Suite helps organizations to connect what may look like
seemingly isolated incidents and respond comprehensively, before
attackers can inflict harm on the business. We have engineered RSA
NetWitness Suite to provide unparalleled insight and the fastest,
most comprehensive ability to defeat today's security threats."
