Balabit Wins Computer Technology Review MVP Award
Balabit Blindspotter Real-Time User Behavior Analytics Wins Most Valuable Product for Innovation and Usability
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 12/09/15 -- Balabit, an IT security innovator specializing in advanced user monitoring technologies announced today that has been selected by Computer Technology Review as winner of an MVP Award recognizing leading technology within the IT security space.
Blindspotter was reviewed and selected for the prestigious publication's 2015 Most Valuable Products list based on criteria such as solution effectiveness, innovation and usability.
"A company's worst nightmare is often lurking inside -- in the form of a sophisticated external attacker or malicious insider. Blindspotter provides user-focused IT security and concentrates on what internal and external users are doing in the system, and that's why they've earned an MVP award from our publication," said Computer Technology Review Editor-in-Chief, Kim Kay.
Traditional products and techniques utilize some form of pattern-based technology to prevent, detect, and stop attacks. But they can only detect events or attacks that they recognize. Blindspotter doesn't require setting up and maintaining patterns of "known bad" behavior. It doesn't require any additional probes or agents to be deployed, it uses data that is already available and is already being collected. It detects undiscovered threats in real time and minimizes the risk.
Utilizing different machine learning algorithms, Blindspotter detects unusual behavior, anomalies which have been previously unknown. Collecting user related events and user session activity in real-time or near real-time, it then compares each and every action to the corresponding baseline of users and their peers to spot anomalies in their behavior. Once an unusual activity or anomaly is detected, Blindspotter can automatically react. It provides a prioritized list of activities ranking the most interesting/risky activity at the top.
