Automated Hunting Technology

Cybereason technology is about automating the hunt after threats, and doing it dramatically faster. Sensors on every endpoint in the network silently monitor the entire organisation’s environment without impacting user productivity. All the data from the sensors is constantly relayed to the Cybereason Hunting Engine, which remembers, relates and connects past and present activities. Thus it is continuously grows stronger, smarter and more effective.

The heart of Cybereason Hunting Engine is a custom-built in-memory graph. It interrogates every endpoint by asking 8 million questions per second, 24/7 to uncover malicious tools and tactics. Using machine learning algorithms, the Hunting Engine recognizes hard to find behaviors, including fileless malware and lateral movement. It connects seemingly unrelated or benign events to reveal the full scope of the attack.
