Unique new offer to detect and react to
advanced internal and external business threats
Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of
consulting, technology and outsourcing services today announced,
with Pivotal, the company at the intersection of big
data, PaaS, and agile development, the launch of an offer to
help companies address advanced threats to the enterprise.
Anomalous Behavior Detection provides a reactive and predictive
approach to help enterprises identify and respond appropriately to
both internal and external threats. Using the architecture of a
Business Data Lake1 to analyze vast amounts of
structured and unstructured information, the offer brings together
Capgemini’s big data and analytics capabilities with Pivotal’s data
science services and software.
Companies are now more vulnerable to internal and external risks
due to rising data volumes, the added complexity of the cloud, and
the increasing amount of information companies share with third
parties. Often the greatest threats come from employees operating
within their approved authority and security permissions who either
have their credentials compromised, or who go “rogue” and start to
misuse internal systems, as witnessed in the Snowden affair in
2013. This can expose companies to data leakage, critical
Intellectual Property (IP) and financial breaches, and abuse of
company systems.
Traditional signature-based security tools are not able to
counter the threat of anomalous behavior from internal and trusted
third parties, because they are not geared to detect people
operating within their approved business role. Pivotal and
Capgemini’s new offer provides a way to detect and even predict
possible fraud, or theft of data and IP. It goes beyond existing,
traditional security tools to provide a behavior-centric approach
allowing both “rogue” employees and compromised accounts or devices
to be identified quickly. This approach also allows an enterprise
to create insight, categorize risk and create alerts so that the
enterprise can react swiftly and appropriately.
Detecting anomalous behavior with a Business Data Lake allows
Capgemini and Pivotal to provide tailor-made solutions that respond
to the customer’s specific needs, which can be scaled as required.
By applying innovative data science techniques to huge volumes of
data, enterprises can detect atypical behavior patterns fast, and
take action before a threat becomes critical. This means
enterprises can now take an adaptive approach to abnormal behavior,
such as informing management, adjusting policies or reducing or
removing access rights, thus avoiding a complete systematic
shutdown each time there is a breach.
Franck Greverie, Global Head of Cyber Security and Corporate
Vice President for the Capgemini Group, said: “Companies are ever
more aware that the primary threats are often from within the
company systems – be it through social engineering attacks or
‘rogue’ employees – so detecting anomalous behaviors quickly is
key. We have already seen a high level of interest in this new
offer from multiple customers, particularly in the financial and
utilities sectors, wishing to protect their internal data.”
Annika Jimenez, Vice President, Pivotal, said: “Pivotal is
pleased again to collaborate with Capgemini in extending the value
of the Business Data Lake through delivery of an important use
case: ‘Anomalous Behavior Detection.’ This is one of many examples
of Pivotal’s big data and analytics platform, which when combined
with data science and Capgemini services, can solve problems that
couldn’t be solved before. Our combined technologies, open source
data science toolsets and people can generate game-changing results
for our customers – in terms of business capabilities, operating
efficiencies, new revenue opportunities, even create new markets
entirely. And we’re excited to extend it here to lower critical
business risk – a true game changer.”
Capgemini and Pivotal are already working together with a number
of customers in this field such as financial services, utilities,
retailers and manufacturing companies to provide a managed service
capability. The launch is an extension of the Pivotal/Capgemini
collaboration announced in December 2013.
