Gartner Group and other analysts recommend deploying network behavior analysis (NBA, also known as Network Behavior Anomaly Detection or NBAD), as part of a 'balanced strategy' for security and for network visibility. NBA solutions collect and analyze flow data to detect anomalous behavior and can be both a key decision support tool, as well as a 'last line of network defense' when required. Network behavior solutions are extremely useful for analyzing behavior and finding anomalies. But there are several shortcomings associated with traditional NBA and NBAD products, including: Network behavior analysis solutions require a 'learned baseline' from which these solutions detect the anomalies. This baseline generates false positives and also constantly needs tuning, providing limited use in an ever-changing, dynamic network. NBAs are only designed to show individual anomalies without the context of overall network usage, limiting their usefulness for broad, cost effective visibility across the network. Many NBAs require a bolt-on identity application from a third party. While some NBAs do integrate user identity data, this is typically done in a limited way, after an incident occurs (typically they forensically map IP events to identities after the fact--e.g. for malware infection). This limits the usefulness of traditional NBA solutions for real-time user monitoring, be it for planning network changes, or stopping malicious insider behavior. In contrast, Securify offers all the benefits of network behavior analysis and anomaly detection without the drawbacks. Securify offers unique identity-based discovery and control views in real-time to provide a true picture of actual usage, and context across the entire network. Securify does not require a learned baseline. And, Securify offers the deployment choice of either leveraging flow-based data for broad, cost-effective coverage, or native packet capture for deeper coverage for critical systems and data centers. Specifically, Securify offers: A True, Identity-driven solution which delivers a real-time business usage view of "who is doing what and where" from the instant each user logs on. Securify natively integrates with existing directory stores and dynamically imports directory groups, user-to-group associations, and defined business systems. This in turn delivers full user-activity oriented discovery, delivers real-time controls and enables in depth queries and real-time user 'watch lists'. An Identity-based Discovery view of business usage that is automatic and continuous. Discovery correlates all activity to a user, across all users (and groups). Our Discovery capabilities require no integration, no baselines, and no pre-determination of what should be happening. Securify customers typically use our intuitive Discovery view to gain immediate knowledge of business unit and application activity, and to shortcut many inaccurate and manual processes, while also providing the input needed for enforcement when required. Identity-based Control, with mitigation when required: Securify delivers optional automatic verification of usage against any business policies or security practices. Typically the usage found using our Discovery capabilities can be leveraged to verify and create explicit, positive, role-based controls for user access and behavior. When required, Securify also delivers cost effective mitigation capabilities, implemented via real-time email alerts, or enforcement signaled back to the network infrastructure. Securify's control capabilities, unlike traditional NBAD solutions, help: See both positive expected behaviors and critical denied behaviors in real-time Catch unauthorized access and behaviors that non-user controls miss Traffic capture monitors detect anomalies undetectable by NBAs, e.g. port masked, tunneled, light footprint bots, etc) and L4 to L7 information that most NBAD do not provide Detect malicious anomalous behavior without the noise due to positive controls (Securify also offers built-in negative controls for known malicious behaviors, as well as highly tuned signatures when required) Auto-baselines from traditional NBADs can create noise for example when a vacationing user returns Reduce the false positives of individual IP address or user auto-baselines Eliminates the use of IP address for controls (IP address are constantly changing, e.g. DHCP) Proven Deployment Options. Securify delivers an out of band network-based solution. Proven deployment options via either flow data collection from existing routers/switches or via native packet capture (capturing a copy of traffic from SPAN ports or network taps) for deep packet inspection. Securify has more traffic capture and decode experience than any other NBAD vendor across 3 million users within Federal civilian and defense agencies and on sensitive networks including major financial services, healthcare, energy, retail clients. Our real-time solutions are currently in use across over 3 million users. On average, Securify deployments only require 2 days setup for a typical data center (3 to 5 monitors), achieving 95% controls coverage within this timeframe.   Go to Solution Overview Go to Product Overview Contact a Solution Expert
