Risk Reduction Programs
Enhance your cyber-risk mitigation strategy with Deception Technology. The Attivo solution aligns to NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, PCI-DSS, HIPAA and ISO 27001/27002 frameworks.
Overview
Reducing Cybersecurity Risk
As businesses adapt to technology changes, compliance requirements, and evolving security challenges, they are turning to the ThreatDefend Platform to enhance their cyber-risk mitigation strategies. The platform aligns to several well-known security frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and ISO 27001/27002. It provides ongoing reliability assessments of both security tools and processes, and aids in providing metrics for accountability and acting on or assessing a business’s risk management program. With its ability to defend legacy systems and devices with limited built-in security as well as its ability to cover the expanding attack surface, the ThreatDefend platform reduces cybersecurity risk across the organization.
Attack Risk Mitigation
Attackers have methods to evade existing defenses to infiltrate the network. Once they get past the perimeter and internal/endpoint defenses, they conduct discovery, privilege escalation, and lateral movement attack activities to find and compromise data. The MITRE ATT&CK matrix outlines and categorizes these attack methods under 12 categories of tactics to for organizations to develop specific threat models and methodologies in their defensive strategies. The more their defenses can account for or cover the MITRE ATT&CK tactics their adversaries would use against them, the lower the risk of a successful attack.
Traditional security controls provide coverage for the early and later stages of the attack cycle and ATT&CK matrix categories, but don’t provide as much coverage for the middle stages, and these are where Attivo solutions excel. Attivo solutions provide detection and prevention capabilities across 11 of the 12 tactical categories in the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, but especially so in the middle stages of Credential Access, Discovery, Lateral Movement, and Collection. By deploying Attivo solutions in conjunction with other security controls such as EDR, organizations can provide better detection and prevention capabilities, mitigating attack risk and improving defenses.
Business Risk Reduction
Organizations are modernizing their approach to the ever-evolving information security landscape. This requires implementing security programs differently, moving beyond IT risk management and shifting the focus to digital risk management. Rather than merely protecting an asset, server, or endpoint, they are enabling new services for competitive advantage in the marketplace, cost reduction, and reducing overall business risk. Digital risk management models are evolving to address new attack surfaces, limitations in built-in device security, as well as business models that grant deeper access to insiders, suppliers, and contractors.
The ThreatDefend Platform plays a critical role in an organization’s ability to adapt to these changes by aligning to how a company can manage their risk tolerance levels, assessment, architectures and systems. It also aids in providing metrics for accountability and acting on or assessing achievement of a business’s risk management program. The ability to deliver fast and accurate notifications of malicious activity as well as policy violations and misconfigurations by threat actors with inside access allows organizations to better manage and reduce risks to the business.
