ANNI PASS - ProActive Security System

Most responsible companies already have a cybersecurity program in place. Recently however, too many firms are finding out the hard way that, despite having large security teams staffed with the best talent and buying the latest in “next generation” security products, conventional cybersecurity products and processes still have gaps that lead to security breaches, which translates to business losses. Whether its theft of intellectual property, customer data, or hard dollar theft, breaches result in profit loss, reputational damage, or with newly proposed legislation, even civil or criminal penalties for senior management of firms that mismanage cybersecurity, similar to Sarbanes Oxley with respect to financial mismanagement.

In the highly publicized breach of Target Corp., it was shown that despite having the latest in intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), demonstrated compliance with PCI/DSS standards, and a highly trained security team, red flags did not translate into action to stop the breach before damage could occur. Company after company also suffer losses as a result of “zero day attacks”, or previously unknown vulnerabilities in information systems. These types of attacks take up to six months on average for a vendor’s forensics team to discover, reverse engineer, and mitigate. Not to mention headline after headline about disgruntled insiders stealing sensitive data. The problems that can be gleaned from these and countless other examples are:

Humans make mistakes
Humans are slow compared to the rapid evolution of cyber threats
Humans may not act correctly, or at all, due to policy, process, or politics
“Checking the compliance box” may mean protection from regulators, but not cyber threats

What is needed to fill these gaps and solve the larger problem is to have defenses that detect, determine intent, and implement mitigation actions more quickly than the cybercriminals or malware can modify their tactics.

At REMTCS, we fill these gaps through the use of mature artificial intelligence (A.I.) to perform the functions where breakdowns in traditional security strategies occur. Our product, ProActive Security System (PASS) performs the functions normally executed by an information security team, only in near real-time. PASS integrates with existing security platforms and vendor equipment, monitors network activity through behavioral analysis, reverse engineers suspected malware on the fly to determine intent and behavior, automatically deploys countermeasures to stop any found threat from continuing to act in a manner harmful to the organization, and then notifies the appropriate personnel of the actions taken. All of this happens in seconds; and with little to no human interaction.

REMTCS makes all of this possible through the use of state of the art, best-of breed components, culminating in a unique high performance computing (HPC) environment that is capable of handling security analysis 4x faster than our closest competitor. Additionally, typical “next-gen” systems require upwards of a year to fully implement and remove false-positives from the system. Because the A.I. engine is designed to learn autonomously, PASS can be implemented, learn the environment, and be fully responsive with little to no false positives in a fraction of the time, even in the largest networks, bringing the benefits of the investment to realization much faster.

With PASS, the benefits a firm can expect to realize are:

Risk reduction from the automation of tactical security decisions typically made by humans, and by detecting and stopping insider data theft and corporate espionage in its tracks, and in real time.

Workforce optimization from the automation of security functional roles such as network monitoring, response, and forensics. PASS augments your security team as a force multiplier, and is equivalent to 16 analysts working 24/7/365.

Cost efficiency from PASS’ ability to leverage your existing security investments, rather than replacing them. PASS grows stronger and more effective over time, instead of the current “next-gen” products to which require humans to keep up with the evolving threat landscape.
