Interset Ramps Up Security Analytics Momentum as Enterprises Shift to Intelligent Threat Detection Platforms

OTTAWA, ON--(Marketwired - Jul 21, 2017) - Black Hat USA 2017 Booth #774 -- Black Hat USA 2017 exhibitor Interset is addressing one of the most pressing concerns facing security teams: how to manage a flood of time-consuming false positives while expanding threat visibility to cover backend, network and endpoint threat surfaces. At next week's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, Interset will demonstrate new Network Analytics and Visibility (NAV) capabilities, making Interset's the first true big data security analytics solution to apply machine learning and AI-based threat detection across user, file, machine, endpoint and network behaviors. This offers enterprises with critical systems and sensitive data to protect the most complete and scalable automated threat detection solution available.

Growing Market Momentum
Interset is experiencing hyper growth in 2017 as security teams look to add automated, intelligent threat detection to thwart a growing number of sophisticated attacks; in Q2 the company added a host of new customers in the financial services, technology and utilities industries, together with new OEM and MSSP partnerships contributing to revenue more than doubling year over year. This growth, combined with successful customer rollouts, a growing strategic OEM business, and a highly successful partnership with U.S. intelligence community investor In-Q-Tel, has Interset simultaneously expanding its field deployment team and increasing the industry-leading capabilities of its Interset Security Analytics Platform.

Many of Interset's new customers are replacing first-generation UEBA tools. As companies gain experience with machine learning and analytics, many realize that a true big data platform with more comprehensive data feeds permits scalability and coverage of an expanding number of use cases. Big data architectures must be used for more than storage, they must also power analytics engines.

Use case coverage across new customers has included insider fraud detection for a financial services customer, cyber-attack detection for a regional utility company, and compromised account detection of privileged accounts at a US Defense contractor.

Interset recently completed a rollout at a Fortune 500 utility company, where its scalable, out-of-the-box security analytics solution helped avoid high-cost customization work and reduced the number of security products required. The deployment comes at a time when security professionals have voiced growing concerns that US critical infrastructure will be breached by a cyber attack within the next two years, according to a recent Black Hat attendee survey.
