Company praised for APT Detection and Response, Best AI/ML and Market-leading Cybersecurity AI
Vectra announced that the company has been named a winner in Cyber Defense Magazine’s annual InfoSec Awards. Cyber Defense Magazine celebrates its seventh year of honoring InfoSec leaders who leverage cutting-edge knowledge to solve problems in information security by evaluating companies and their products for the best security innovators.
Vectra was named a winner in three categories:
“It is a great honor to be named a winner in three categories of Cyber Defense Magazine’s InfoSec Awards this year as this honor further highlights the value of our Cognito platform in using AI to detect and respond to cyberattacks in real time,” said Mike Banic, vice president of marketing, Vectra.
The Cognito platform is the industry-leading cybersecurity AI platform from Vectra that provides full visibility into cyberattacker behaviors from cloud and data center workloads to user and IoT devices, leaving attackers with nowhere to hide. Vectra offers three applications on the platform: Cognito Stream, Cognito Recall and Cognito Detect.
Cognito Stream sends security-enriched network metadata in Zeek format to data lakes and security information and event management (SIEM) applications to empower threat hunters and incident investigators by leveraging existing Zeek software tooling.
Cognito Recall is a cloud-based application to store and investigate security-enriched metadata that enables threat hunters to store and search data as long as it is needed without having to manage the infrastructure.
Cognito Detect uses AI to reveal hidden and unknown attackers at speed with always learning behavioral models that proactively put the most relevant context at a security analyst’s fingertips. Cognito Detect integrates with endpoint, firewall, SIEM and security operations automation response applications to accelerate workflows in security operations.
“With cybercrime continuing to gain momentum, surpassing global drug crime last year and projected to reach over $1T in theft and damages in 2019, we are proud to see Vectra as an award-winning innovator, offering a new approach to defeat these criminals,” said Pierlugi Paganini, editor-in-chief, Cyber Defense Magazine.
