Vectra AI to reduce alert fatigue at GITEX 2022

Vectra’s attack-signal intelligence exposes the complete narrative of an attack by continuously monitoring for known attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and executing pre-defined models in real-time

Vectra AI, an AI driven threat detection firm, will show attendees at GITEX 2022 on Stand H1-C10, how to reduce alert fatigue for security teams and mount a more effective defence of their digital estates by leveraging attack signal intelligence.

The October event will be the first GITEX at which Vectra will operate its own booth.

Taj El-khayat, Managing Director for EMEA South at Vectra AI, said, “For the past two decades, threat detection and response methodologies across people, processes and technology have relied heavily on signatures, anomalies, and rules to identify and defeat cybercriminals as they engage in infiltration and exfiltration campaigns. But as enterprises shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments and digitize identities, supply chains and ecosystems, these approaches only result in more alert noise, triage and false positives. Very rarely do organizations know where the gaps in their security lie. And this is a great advantage to attackers, who continually bypass prevention, circumvent signatures, blend in and infiltrate, and progress laterally inside an organization to wreak havoc.”

Vectra’s attack-signal intelligence exposes the complete narrative of an attack by continuously monitoring for known attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and executing pre-defined models in real-time to detect and correlate those TTPs and sift out the threats that are most relevant to the business.

At GITEX, Vectra will focus on the capabilities within its Threat Detection and Response (TDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) suites to deliver attack-signal intelligence.

Vectra TDR is designed for hybrid and multi-cloud environments and provides coverage, clarity, and control for SOCs. Threat visibility extends to a range of widely used cloud services such as AWS, Microsoft 365 and Azure AD. AI-driven attack-signal intelligence is used to automate threat detection, and triage findings for prioritized investigation.

The company has set aside space for three demo screens that will show different SOC (security operations centre) capabilities, one for detection, one for response and one for ecosystem integration with technologies such as Splunk and CrowdStrike. Vectra will also operate a dedicated cloud demo zone.
