Summary:Huntsman Security pioneered intelligent enterprise and cyber security with its landmark platform, Huntsman(R) Enterprise SIEM, incorporating Behaviour Anomaly Detection (BAD). The Huntsman Analyst Portal(TM) adds a whole new level of intelligence to automated incident response and the threat resolution process. Huntsman patented key aspects of BAD to detect anomalies in real time and so provides early warning of cyber threats, data leakage, malware and fraud. Huntsman(R) is a defence-grade cyber security platform which includes threat detection, security analytics and incident resolution. Huntsman is deployed in central government, finance and infrastructure environments in the UK, Japan and Australia. See www.huntsmansecurity.com. "Unfortunately, this is not the full story. The average organisation is subject to multiple breaches, of which only some will be detected, so the figures reported to the IOC are likely to be understated," said Peter Woollacott, CEO, Huntsman Security. "The root of the problem is that organisations are under such an intense barrage of cyber activity that threat alerts; many of which turn out to be benign are overwhelming cyber security teams. There is simply too much data to analyse and verify manually. Genuine threats require immediate attention but frequently the investigation of benign and even false alarms can waste a great deal of valuable time and resources. Verizon's DBIR 2016 gave a clear illustration of this problem, revealing that whilst 84% of attacks compromise their targets within days or less, under a quarter are detected within that timeframe."
