TaaSera launches NetTrust 2.0

TAASERATaaSera Inc. announced on July 17 the release of the NetTrust 2.0 Enterprise Edition for accelerated cyber security incident response and forensic analysis. NetTrust continuously monitors network traffic to correlate and analyze risky behaviors associated with advanced threats and coordinated attacks.

Every day, incident response teams identify, analyze and respond to millions of individual security events. It’s easy to miss critical alerts, and hard to connect the dots across every stage of the cyber kill chain. As a result, it takes an average eight months to identify compromised systems inside the network perimeter; by then it’s too late, explains the company in a news release.

Traditional tools require security analysts to collect, analyze and interpret forensic evidence manually. In contrast, NetTrust’s FAAR Sight solution (Forensic Analysis and Advanced Response) automates triage, diagnosis and remediation by providing threat relevance and context across every stage of the infection lifecycle.

“We’re very excited to announce the next generation of our flagship product,” said TaaSera CEO Scott Hartz. “NetTrust allows security professionals to prioritize threats, resulting in maximized efficiency and valuable time saved responding to incidents. By assessing their enterprise risk profile at any given moment, they take a much more proactive security posture.”

FAAR Sight’s advanced threat visualization automatically “connects the dots” across millions of events to deliver risk-based systems analysis, threat classification and forensic drill-down. With NetTrust, security professionals, operations and incident response teams can quickly identify compromised systems, streamline response time and reduce their window of exposure.

Mike Thomas, Senior Security Architect at Erie Insurance, a Fortune 500 company, said, “TaaSera offers a unique approach for accelerating the collection and analysis of forensic evidence critical to effective cyber incident response. By providing context across the post-infection, pre-breach behaviors exhibited by advanced threats, the technology provides a more proactive way to respond to threats.”

NetTrust 2.0 Enterprise Edition includes enhanced threat visualization for ease of deployment, operations and analysis in either physical or virtualized environments. The software includes an integrated suite of automatic threat intelligence updates, as well as comprehensive REST APIs for integration with existing security infrastructure.

Also featured are enhanced rules for monitoring insider threats across Web, application and database tiers, and integration with SIEM, Active Directory and vulnerability assessment solutions like QualysGuard and Rapid7.
