TaaSera Releases NetTrust for Splunk; Turns Security Information and Event Management Systems into Powerful Preemptive Breach Detection Engines


CUPERTINO, Calif. and MCLEAN, Va., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TaaSera Inc., the leading provider of preemptive breach detection for cybersecurity, today announced the availability of TaaSera NetTrust for Splunk. For the first time, Splunk users can integrate NetTrust's preemptive breach detection solution into Splunk-based security management applications. The integration of NetTrust into Splunk's operational intelligence and machine data solutions enables users to improve security monitoring efforts by streamlining the discovery of at-risk and compromised systems to detect breaches before data is lost, damaged or stolen.

Turning Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms into preemptive breach detection engines powered by TaaSera NetTrust helps analysts and security teams to quickly isolate and remediate at-risk systems before data is lost, damaged, stolen or business continuity is interrupted. NetTrust for Splunk delivers a Splunk dashboard that uses TaaSera's patented "Threat DNA" mapping technology to identify otherwise hidden network behaviors at runtime and continuously analyze behavioral and contextual evidence while integrating tightly within the Splunk Enterprise 6.1 and 6.2 ecosystems. Users have access to real-time visualizations of network systems at greatest risk and the ability to identify the precise indicators of compromise (IOCs), in the right context and at the right time, to provide a more actionable early warning system for breach containment and response.

"Splunk is one of the most widely used analytics platfoms on the market today and is becoming increasingly popular for cybersecurity purposes as a SIEM. But when malware is increasingly able to avoid leaving traces in logs, critical IOCs and similar pre-breach behaviors can go unrecognized by SIEMs allowing dangerous and malicious activity to go undetected within a network's perimeter," said Ivan Shefrin, Vice President of Security Solutions at TaaSera. "With many of TaaSera's customers invested in Splunk, we are ensuring that they have access to the best possible data and analytics necessary to act in time before sensitive information, business continuity and reputations suffer due to data breaches." 



"Effective, proactive breach defense takes a layered approach. There are certain complementary solutions that give security teams a leg-up in defending against cyber attacks," said Richard Ullom, Technology Security Manager, Western Reserve Group, an Ohio-based domiciled property and casualty insurance company and a joint TaaSera/Splunk customer. "Layering TaaSera's NetTrust on top of Splunk Enterprise, gives me critical visibility into network behaviors that other solutions can't see. We are able to isolate and remediate at-risk systems before any major damage is done."

From the NetTrust for Splunk dashboard, security analysts can drill-down to determine a number of key metrics, including: systems at highest risk, the source of the threats, specific details about vulnerabilities and risks detected, and attackers by Country.
