Cognito platform accelerates threat detection, investigation, and response using AI to enrich cloud logs

Threat detection

Today’s cyberattacks will use any means of entry necessary to compromise a network. As a result, the time it takes to detect and respond to an adversary is paramount in thwarting attacks.

The Cognito platform accelerates threat detection, investigation, and response using AI to enrich cloud logs and network metadata. Once enriched, the data is collected and stored with the right context to detect, hunt, and investigate known and unknown threats in real-time.

Applications of Cognito platform

Vectra offers four applications on the Cognito platform to address these high-priority use cases:

• Cognito Detect™ provides the fastest most efficient way to prioritise and stop attacks across cloud, data centre, applications, and workloads, as well as user & IoT devices and accounts.
• Cognito Detect for Office365 and Azure AD™ finds and stops attacks in enterprise SaaS applications and the Microsoft 365 Ecosystem.
• Cognito Stream™ sends security-enriched metadata to data lakes and SIEMs in Zeek format.
• Cognito Recall™ is a cloud-based application that stores and investigates threats in enriched metadata.

Monitors cloud traffic

Cognito platform integrates with AWS VPC traffic mirroring to monitor all infrastructure-as-a-service traffic

Vectra’s Cognito platform integrates with AWS virtual private cloud (VPC) traffic mirroring to monitor all infrastructure-as-a-service traffic. Cognito also integrates with AWS Security Hub to publish Vectra detections as findings in Security Hub, enabling security teams to correlate Vectra attacker detections with other data sources for faster threat hunting and incident investigations.

“We are committed to enhancing the productivity of our customers, which means ensuring our industry-leading technology is easily accessible,” said Randy Schirman, Vice President.

Adoption of automated technologies

“Attacks are becoming more sophisticated by the day, and security teams need to be able to seamlessly adopt automated technology that eases the burden of threat detection and response. AWS customers are now able to purchase Vectra’s suite of tried-and-true solutions as a part of their subscription package for quick and easy deployment.”

Vectra’s Cognito platform is available on the AWS Marketplace. By purchasing Cognito through the Marketplace, customers can prepay for Vectra solutions through their regular AWS bill once they subscribe, resulting in a consolidated, easy-to-process bill.
