Read Time:51 Second

Endpoint protection vendor Cybereason has launched a new incident response (IR) solution to streamline and automate IR investigations. Digital Forensics Incident Response incorporates nuanced forensics artifacts into threat hunting, reducing remediation time by enabling security analysts to contain cyberattacks in minutes, the firm stated in a press release. The release comes in the wake of new research that discovered a drop in global attack dwell times as organizations and their partners improve their incident detection and response capabilities.

Cybereason DFIR driven by forensics for deeper defense value

According to Cybereason, the new solution offers forensic-driven incident response that extends deeper value to defenders. By augmenting its existing MalOp Detection Engine with intelligence from DFIR, security analysts can leverage comprehensive detections from root cause across every impacted asset via a central point, the vendor added. As a result, security teams can quickly gain visibility into a wider range of intelligence sources to enable rapid decisions and remediate threats more efficiently.

The survey, conducted by Global Surveyz, an independent survey company, polled 150 senior decision makers from North America, Europe and Asia. It shows that while device security is in its infancy, it is managed by many fragmented tools. “Siloed and fragmented processes and tools are much less efficient and effective and limit the ability to assess the business impact of device security on the organization as a whole,” the report says.
