industry unlocked what the attacker does usually and what is the purpose of compromising and penetrating networks all across the world. We understood the motives of why hackers do it and we also understood what they do in a typical network to reach their objective. We’ve applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in a solution that fools the attacker inside the network. We can plant up to 384 different decoy servers or decoy assets. The beauty of those decoy assets, from an Attivo point of view, is that it’s a virtual machine that we plant inside the real IP address and the attacker does not distinguish it from the real server because we try to build decoy servers and this is where Artificial Intelligence comes in. We learn what is the typology of the network and basis of the operating systems and we build decoy servers that are almost identical to the one next to it www.intelligentciso.com | Issue 07 The emphasis is on early detection and also accelerated and orchestrated response with the whole eco-system that the company or organisation has. (the real one), so the attacker does not think that he has fallen into a trap. We plant our servers in unpublished IP addresses – as soon as the attacker does lateral movement in an unpublished IP they are guilty by association because there is no need for anybody to come and touch it. Therefore, once they do this they are actually captured because this IP address is mapped all the way up to the Attivo appliance which sits inside the network. That is how we capture the attacker inside our network and we now take over dealing with him but he doesn’t know that. We are watching all his moves and recording it in a forensic file. What are the main benefits the ministry can get from the ThreatDefend Platform? Dynamic, real-time threat detection and accelerated and orchestrated incident response. The emphasis is on early detection and also accelerated and orchestrated response with the whole eco-system that the company or organisation has. 45
