OTTAWA, ON — (Marketwired) — 04/27/16 — has been named the platinum award winner in threat intelligence by Security Products Magazine–s Govies 2016 Government Security Awards competition. Only one vendor is awarded the top platinum award in each category, .
Interset is winning government contracts and awards by excelling in User Behavior Analytics (UBA), an approach to threat intelligence that analyzes and scores security risk based on the behavioral activity of different accounts, machines, files, and digital assets.
Interset excels at UBA because:
It connects incident-related events and assigns risk scores to accounts, files, machines, and applications — not just to users/accounts
Interset analytics and risk scoring is based purely on machine learning and probabilistic math, removing the need for constant tuning and configuring required by policy-based analytics
The platform collects behavioral data from not only SIEMs, but also the widest spectrum of an organization–s most critical activity logs, as well as authentication and activity sources.
It can be deployed on site or in the cloud with true big data scalability.
“We–re pleased to be acknowledged for our winning approach to UBA,” said Interset CEO Dale Quayle. “In a complicated market, customers have made it clear they cannot rely on security products that use high levels of expensive customization or policy/threshold driven analytics. These approaches force customers into static deployments and require them to define which threats they are looking for. Things just change too quickly to make either approach work,” he said. “A good UBA litmus test is: If you have to tune your policies down to avoid alerts, then you do not have adequate threat intelligence.”
