Description

What does Probability Theory have to do with Cyber Security? It turns out, a lot.

Cyber security attacks are increasing in frequency, each one becoming more potentially harmful than the last. Traditional methods of threat prediction and mitigating risks cannot keep pace with the increased sophistication of attacks, requiring a fundamental shift in security technology. Respond Analyst leverages Probability Theory and advanced algorithms to analyze all relevant cyber observables, ultimately making fully contextualized and informed decisions at the scale, speed and consistency no human can match.

Key takeaways:

  • Today’s sophisticated security attacks require a new way of thinking about security within the enterprise
  • Probability theory, applied in the context of enterprise security, is a major paradigm shift and requires a change in how we think about, and address, risk
  •  Uncertainty, dimensional probabilities shades of grey
  •  Proactive rather than reactive
  •  Reasoning over rules-based logic
  • Respond Analyst software analyzes all relevant cyber observables to predict and learn; ultimately making fully contextualized and informed decisions, based on the most likely explanation, with the scale, speed and consistency no human can match.
