MCLEAN, Va.聽鈥� 蘑菇视频 Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) announced today聽the availability of聽鈥攁 cloud-based software solution that brings together actionable threat intelligence and hacker detection. By unifying the security lifecycle into a single solution, SnapAttack enables red and blue teams to work together, emulating attacks from intelligence data, sharing insights of malicious behavior, and developing vendor-agnostic behavioral detection analytics to stop advanced adversaries.
Today鈥檚 red and blue teams聽use multiple, siloed products for key functions like threat intelligence, incident detection and response, breach and attack simulation, and continuous monitoring, causing them to struggle聽to keep up with the latest threats and attack methods. Compounding the issue, cybersecurity analysts experience alert fatigue from the high volume of alerts they receive, many of which are false positives. In fact, 93 percent of organizations receive more than 5,000 alerts per day, but on average, security teams only investigate 51 percent of these alerts.
鈥淲e built SnapAttack to satisfy a critical need to help our own red and blue teams collaborate more effectively. This approach continually increases our confidence in detecting sophisticated threats through threat hunting and improving our defenses in support of clients worldwide,鈥� said Garretson Blight, 蘑菇视频 Allen鈥檚 Director of DarkLabs. 鈥淲e鈥檙e now offering this product, borne out of 蘑菇视频 Allen鈥檚 expertise in commercial and nation-state-level cyber operations to help our clients do the same.鈥�
As a cloud-based software solution, SnapAttack is always up to date. New attack techniques and analytics are regularly pushed to subscribers, but advanced teams can harness the full power of the platform to create their own attack techniques and analytics based on internal threat intelligence.
With SnapAttack, security teams can:
- Centralize Offensive Tradecraft: Capture and organize the latest adversary tradecraft鈥攆rom their own internal threat data or 蘑菇视频 Allen鈥檚 ever-growing attack database鈥攊n an easily digestible and actionable way. This helps security teams gain confidence in their organization's ability to prepare for, prevent, and detect emerging threats. Today, there are more than 1,000 attacks catalogued in the SnapAttack database鈥攁nd counting.
- Improve Detection with Existing Tools: Use 蘑菇视频 Allen鈥檚 advanced analytic builder to create, test, and deploy high-quality behavioral analytics for their existing security tools. Reduce the time and skill level needed to create new detection logic that has higher confidence and lower false positives, and is more robust to attack variants.
- Measure and Reduce Risk: Validate their security controls鈥攕uch as antivirus, endpoint detection and response, and custom security information and event management (SIEM) alerts鈥攁gainst true positive attacks, mapped to the industry standard . Track detection coverage and gaps, and gain quantifiable evidence of a program鈥檚 effectiveness.
鈥淪napAttack addresses the needs of CISOs and SOC leads to deploy proactive, preventive security measures that continuously test cyber defenses to get ahead of attacks by identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities and control gaps before the adversary can,鈥� said Brad Medairy, a 蘑菇视频 Allen Executive Vice President and leader of the firm鈥檚 cybersecurity and engineering business. 鈥淭his tool is a culmination of years of offensive and defensive cyber operations experience 鈥� consistently defeating advanced persistent threats.鈥�
