Actionable Intelligence For Safer World

The alarming rise in security breaches and other nefarious activities over the years have obligated governments and enterprise security organizations to keep facilities, people, and assets safe from real-world and cyber threats.
Perpetrators today are taking advantage of evolving technologies, which is giving a hard time for Security Operations Centers (SOC) to detect and mitigate threats. At the same time, data is growing rapidly and is highly fragmented across organizations. Data locked up in organizational silos makes it even harder for security organizations to quickly connect the dots. As situational intelligence and cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, it takes longer to detect and mitigate. Also, security organizations are replacing proprietary solutions with open software to keep pace with new technologies, which opens door for cybercriminals to worm their way into IT systems. The inability of Security Operations Centers (SOC) within government and enterprise organizations to identify and respond quickly to these threats can result in damage to business continuity, employees, and asset safety.

To keep ahead of these professional criminal groups, traditional security solutions—antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention systems—will require automation and real-time analysis to detect and prevent cyberattacks. That will require security analytics. Consequently, security organizations are deploying security analytics software at large scale. Real-time insights powered by AI and predictive analytics hold the key to detecting and preventing threats before they strike.

This is where Cognyte, formerly a Verint company comes into play. A global leader in security analytics software, Cognyte is dedicated to empower governments and enterprises with Actionable Intelligence for a Safer World. The company helps security organizations analyze and visualize disparate data sets at scale to help their teams find the needles in the haystacks. Over 1,000 government and enterprise customers in more than 100 countries rely on Cognyte’s solutions to accelerate security investigations to successfully identify, neutralize, and prevent threats to national security, business continuity, and cyber security. “Precise big data fusion and analytics are dramatically altering the way organizations function. In 2021, we must ‘work smarter, not harder’,” states Elad Sharon, Chief Executive Officer, Cognyte Software Ltd.

Having been in the industry for 25 years as a proven market leadership enable, Cognyte to bring unique proven expertise to the development of its security analytics platform and solutions. Powered by a robust and open analytics platform, the company offers a broad portfolio of security and investigative analytics solutions that address a wide range of security challenges. It includes investigation, operational and threat intelligence.

Empowering Security Organizations With Insights Is Critical

Cognyte’s analytics platform powers its portfolio. Historically, customers purchased discrete solutions to address specific threats.

But today the security landscape is changing. Data is growing rapidly and is highly fragmented across different departments, and organizations are looking to adopt open software to keep up with the pace of technology. These market shifts require security organizations to deploy an analytics platform that can connect different solutions from either Cognyte or third parties to effectively develop new capabilities. The company’s open software fuses, analyzes, and visualizes disparate data sets at scale to help security organizations find unusual activity and transform data into insights using which they can act upon, quickly.

The company calls it, big data fusion analytics, which gives organizations the information to head off potential wrongdoers before they’ve had the opportunity to cause harm. Big data security and investigative analytics can reduce massive flows of raw events to a controllable number of concise and clearly organized amounts to guide decisions. And data fusion will continue to work, keeping all historical information available for analysis and providing experts with enough information to guide decisions (possibly connecting it to a previous anomaly or preparing for a potential incident).

For security and law enforcement organizations, deanonymizing criminal actors and terrorists is a challenging task that is impossible to achieve without the right solution. There is no link between an anonymous cryptocurrency address and the person behind it. Criminals and terrorists can transfer funds easily, quickly, and globally through websites and/or mobile apps. As quickly as the technology is innovating, threat actors are moving as fast to understand how to manipulate the technology to help evade investigators and continue to expand their empires. However, by using advanced analytics, augmenting multiple data sources and techniques, security and law enforcement organizations can deanonymize cryptocurrency users’ identity and crack down on criminal behavior that has become an enigma for many investigators.

To achieve this feat, the company uses groundbreaking technologies, blockchain analysis, complementary analytics, and intelligence techniques accelerate cryptocurrency investigations, independently of 3rd parties, such as cryptocurrency exchanges. Investigators gain valuable crypto insights to identify organized crime, cybercrime, terror, and money laundering investigations. How? The platform will link suspects to illicit blockchain activities using advanced algorithms – to uncover hidden identities. It also provides broad support of virtually all industry services, platforms and wallet applications, including exclusive support of the Wasabi privacy-focused wallet. Ongoing research and investment ensure a continuously updated product that supports the newest services and wallets.

“Cognyte offers operational intelligence analytics solutions crafted to strengthen field units with real-time actionable insights to adapt quickly and complete missions successfully”

In addition, Cognyte empowers security organizations and enterprises with Actionable Intelligence from all layers of the constantly evolving web ecosystem using AI and ML capabilities. Investigators can uncover critical and near real-time insights and rapidly detect developing threats by covertly and automatically analyzing data from social networks, apps, open sources, and the Deep and Dark Web. They can solve cases faster with automated analytics & embedded methodologies.

Identify, Neutralize, And Prevent Threats Before They Unfold

As security investigations are becoming more complex and take longer to complete. In some cases, investigations lead to a dead end. The stakes are often high. The inability to conduct effective security investigations can result in serious damage and disruption to public life. In such a scenario, Cognyte provides powerful investigation analytics solutions designed to empower investigative teams with actionable insights to achieve their goals quickly and effectively.

The company also helps field security units. When field security units carry out operational missions, real-time insights are critical to the success of the mission. Cognyte offers operational intelligence analytics solutions crafted to strengthen field units with real-time actionable insights to adapt quickly and complete missions successfully. The platform is integrated with visualization tools that bring intuitive insights to the field teams.

The Power of AI-Powered Analytics

Today, virtually all industries use analytical solutions to generate insights in order to gain a competitive edge – whether to improve manufacturing processes or to optimize pricing and advertising. While some security organizations have already deployed analytics tools, in many cases, these are proprietary home-grown solutions which cannot keep up with growing data security challenges such as: Increasingly sophisticated and damaging security threats and Skyrocketing volumes of fragmented and diverse data sources. With the old approach of home-grown development no longer viable, security organizations are increasingly turning to open security analytics platforms. Cognyte is all set to revolutionize the security industry with its AI-based Analytic platform. The company is also backed by highly skilled team of security experts. Cognyte's Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) research team (formerly SenseCy) is comprised of handpicked expert analysts, many of whom are ex-military intelligence, with years of experience in cyber threat intelligence and analysis. The research team monitors, analyzes and validates threat actors’ malicious activities on platforms such as social networks, mobile applications, Deep Web sites, Dark Web marketplaces, hacker forums, IRC channels, global CVEs and external threat intelligence generated by leading security providers. The Research group also regularly produces threat alerts and intelligence reports based on region, industry and organization-specific threats, including in-depth analysis, actionable recommendations, IoCs and more, to proactively identify and mitigate threats before they materialize, to enhance resilience and prevent future attacks.
