To showcase how more flexible data analytics platforms can deliver actionable insights by giving data a voice, delegates were given product demonstrations and heard from Qlik’s customers and Finesse.

We’re in a new age of data analytics, and gone are the days of limited and linear models; your data has so much to say, but these old practices are stifling it, keeping it quiet for too long. To truly bring your data to life and make real impactful business decisions, you need a powerful tool that gives you insights from a huge range of data sources. Customers need to hear the voice of their data, and that’s why we’re delighted to be giving attendees in Mumbai the chance to discover this.” attack forensics and accelerated incident response. Additionally, the company has joined the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) partner programme. Under the SIA programme, the companies will work together to integrate ThreatDefend technology with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, providing customers an adaptive defence solution to combat modern-day advanced threats. The Attivo Networks ThreatDefend Platform creates an in-network deception environment designed to outmanoeuvre modern-day attackers and deceive them into revealing their presence. Changing the balance of power, the platform makes the entire network a trap and creates a setting where what is real and what is not becomes unclear to the attacker. One wrong move and the attacker’s presence is exposed. High-interaction network and end-point deception lures and decoys reduce time to detection, while automated attack analysis, high-fidelity alerts, third-party integrations and playbooks accelerate incident response. Visibility tools provide attack path vulnerability assessments and time-lapsed replays, empowering teams with insight into attacker lateral movement and security gaps. With the ThreatDefend solution, customers can conveniently start with base detection capabilities and expand platform usage based upon their business requirements. Attivo ThreatDefend technology integration with McAfee ePO ensures a frictionless deployment of the Attivo ThreatStrike suite across multiple endpoints simultaneously. 11
