What makes GraniteEdge Networks, Inc. a "Hot Company" 2006
Products & Technologies
Backed by 10 years of R&D on a patent-pending causality analysis engine.
Enterprises are seeing a two-prong elevation in security threats with increasingly sophisticated attacks from the outside as well as internal users. Existing security systems can’t detect or mitigate the kind of sophisticated or staged attacks that can significantly disrupt business activity. Most hackers are what we call “low and slow” – they are under the radar and will attack over a long period of time. These systems are based on simple threshold alarms and log aggregation so they can detect singular security events that may be of interest but leaves the enormous problem of determining their meaning for the already-stretched security team. As a result, security teams waste precious time sifting through logs and watching bandwidth displays, hoping to stumble across major security incidents.
GraniteEdge Networks recently announced the deliver of the industry’s first security analytics system to expose and track security breaches in progress. With its new GraniteEdge ESP product, enterprises can now map attacks to their source and provides actionable intelligence on all impacted resources, allowing IT security teams to identify and respond to security attacks in real-time.
