Aruba’s Security Solution Honored for Best Threat Detection Technology in 22 nd Annual SC Awards Competition
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced
that SC
Magazine, the world’s preeminent publication for cybersecurity
professionals, named Aruba
IntroSpect as this year’s best product for detecting and stopping
increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks due to mobile, IoT, and cloud.
These types of breaches have cost global organizations billions along
with severely eroding hard-earned customer trust and confidence.
The Aruba IntroSpect machine learning-based User and Entity Behavior
Analytics (UEBA) solution received the Trust
Award in the “Best Threat Detection Technology” category. Aruba was
selected the winner among seven finalists by a panel of veteran private
and public sector security professionals. The award announcement was
made at the 22nd annual SC Awards gala, held in conjunction
with opening day of the RSA Security conference in San Francisco, the
industry’s largest cybersecurity event.
UEBA is an emerging threat detection technology that uses sophisticated
machine learning to help security professionals in identify unknown and
undefined threats from within the enterprise. As organizations adopt
mobile, IoT, and cloud technologies, UEBA has become an effective tool
for dealing with threats inside the perimeter.
“The Trust Award category is one of the most highly anticipated
designations at the SC Awards ceremony because it represents the voice
of the people who are really using the products and services,” said
Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. “Aruba IntroSpect was chosen
as the Best Threat Detection Technology winner for its ability to meet
the needs – and exceed expectations – of its customers.”
“As a winner in the Trust Award category, Aruba IntroSpect stands out
for its innovative approach to protecting businesses against the
ever-changing threat landscape. This is a significant achievement and
one that shows Aruba’s dedication to improving the IT security industry
as a whole.”
In explaining why judges awarded Aruba as having 2018’s “Best Threat
Detection Technology”, SC Magazine editors wrote
in an April 18 article: “Like a digital Sherlock Holmes, Aruba's
eagle-eyed user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) solution,
IntroSpect, notices tiny anomalies and deviations in network activity
that more conventional technologies might miss.”
“IntroSpect uses machine learning-based analytics to automate the
detection of attacks, exploits and breaches by keying in on suspicious
behavior that strays from established normal baselines – even if the
malicious actions are subtle or take place in incremental steps.”
“The solution leverages over 100 AI-based models to continuously assess
risks associated with each user/guest, system and device, as well as
identify and remediate threats including phishing, ransomware, lateral
movement, data exfiltration, command-and-control communication, account
takeovers, privilege escalation and more.”
“Aruba estimates that customers save roughly $45,000 per month and
nearly 30 hours per incident by cutting down on investigations. Indeed,
customers say they have been able to resolve single incidents in only 10
minutes, compared to 30 hours using traditional methods.”
“Moreover, in 2017, Aruba introduced IntroSpect Standard, a new
“fast-start” version of the UEBA solution that requires only three data
sources.”
“Aruba’s security business momentum continues to accelerate as
enterprises continue to adopt mobile, IoT, and cloud technologies,” said
Prasad Palkar, vice president and general manager, for Aruba’s security
products. “The SC Magazine award aligns with how customers are now
looking at our entire portfolio to deal with advanced threats and
attacks on the inside. It is an honor to be recognized by such an elite
panel and we look forward to incorporating leading-edge technologies
such as machine learning as innovation-drivers to help protect our
customer’s critical assets.”
