Using embedded rules based on real-world intelligence next generation automated investigation and response platforms provide visibility of the root cause of infiltrations leading to faster and more effective remediation. With automated forensic investigation and response tools in place, organizations can prevent, detect and respond with more conclusive investigations across hybrid environments, more accessible and faster. These Top Tips offer adoption considerations for SecOps and IT leaders.
Organizations today rely on a hybrid mix of multi-cloud and on-prem deployments. In order to protect these complex infrastructures, security teams deploy specialized incidence response (IR) tools with investigation capabilities. However, as cyberthreats evolve, organizations need to adopt more dynamic security approaches. While digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) remains the most effective tool to secure hybrid environments, a next-generation automated investigation and response platform offers the best approach in today’s evolving, dynamic threat environment.
