Acronis is expanding its Cyber Protect Cloud offering with new endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions and looking at how generative AI fits into the platform in the future.
Released May 17, 2023, this new tool is specifically designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and focuses on optimized incident analysis, making it easy for even inexperienced staff. It offers an easy interface where you can choose to work in English or use naming conventions. Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs) of the MITER ATT&CK and NIST Cybersecurity Frameworks.
Acronis’ goal with this new product is to provide tools that help MSPs analyze and prioritize security incidents and potential attacks without resorting to expensive security expertise and time-consuming processes. said Candid Vuest, vice president of research at Acronis, at the launch event. May 15th.
“By quickly analyzing and understanding the impact of an attack, Acronis EDR users can quickly assess potential threats and understand how the attacker gained access, what damage was done, and how the attack occurred. It gives us insight into how it spreads,” he added.
Acronis EDR also integrates AI-based attack analysis capabilities. “We have used AI and machine learning in many places in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, from pre-execution file detection to behavior-based classification of process activity. We’ve also used it to analyze and predict if an HDD will fail,” West said. Information security.
“We are also currently investigating whether it makes sense to integrate generative AI like Large Language Models (LLMs) on the user side.”
How former FBI counterintelligence officer Eric O’Neill was invited by Acronis to capture Russian spy Robert Hansen working for the FBI in 2001 with a palm pilot being used as a personal digital device made a presentation about An assistant before smartphones.
“As a cybersecurity professional, I have witnessed firsthand the evolution of EDR and how it has transformed the way we approach security. can be quickly analyzed, reducing incident response time and improving business continuity for all organizations,” said O’Neill.
