Hall A, 10:00-11:00

Topic: Next Gen Security Intelligence platform ​

Speaker: Presenter: Mariusz Stawowski

Short description: What would security intelligence look like if you could actually find attackers before they cause harm? If you could amplify the abilities of your incident response team so they could quickly respond to all threats they encountered? All without need to sacrifice potentially valuable security data, and prevent ever-growing log management costs. What if we could combine unlimited data collection at a predictable cost? Behavioural analysis-based threat detection, and API-based incident response automation into the next generation of SIEM technologies, so you never have to worry about security blind spots, building or maintaining handmade correlation rules, or running tedious manual response processes again. Exabeam provide a data lake for unlimited data collection. Machine learning and behavioural analysis for detection of advanced threats, like those with lateral movement, and security orchestration and response playbooks for incident response automation. All at the predictable cost.
