etwork behavioral analysis provides a systematic, architectural
approach to network security. It performs deep packet analysis to spot
advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day attacks.
The financial services industry has long used behavioral analytics
to spot fraudulent credit card transactions. Advanced security
service providers use similar techniques to spot increasingly sophisticated cyber
attacks like those that have plagued Apple, Facebook and Microsoft with the goal
of carrying out industrial espionage.
Forward-thinking organizations are turning to advanced behavioral analytics
to spots these types of attacks by detecting the underlying behaviors used by
sophisticated hackers.
HERE ARE 2 KEY BENEFITS TO BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS
1 SHIFTING TO RAPID RESPONSE
It’s a given that cyber attacks will continue to evolve and successfully
evade traditional detection methods. Behavioral analytics help compensate
for the limitations in existing security appliances such as firewalls and intrusion
detection systems. Solutions that can detect emerging network behaviors enable
companies to shift their focus from blocking and preventing breaches to detecting
and rapidly responding to attacks.
2 ADAPT AND DEFEND
A complex network is a type of self-organizing system. Network behavioral
analysis technology uses advanced analysis techniques to find unusual or altered
network activities that are the indicators of an APT. It’s not possible to stop all
hackers at your network perimeter so it’s essential to spot abnormal activities taking
place within your network.
HERE’S HOW NETWORK BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS WORKS
• Packet data, IDS/IPS alerts, scans, vendor threats, and data feeds are
continuously analyzed and correlated.
• Raw packet data is used rather than log files because packets contain more
data for analysis.
• Data analysis occurs over the course of days, weeks and months to correlate
seemingly discrete events intentionally spaced-out to avoid detection.
• Analysis is geared to an individual network. A behavioral system becomes
customized to that network so that it can adapt and function without human
intervention.
• A behavioral system has “learned intelligence” that can measure increasingly
hostile activity and predict behaviors that enable it to track developing
threats leading up to a breach.
Network behavioral analysis is becoming an essential means to identify and stop
advanced threats.
