BASKING RIDGE, N.J.,
Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- To help
enterprises navigate and make sense of the increasingly
sophisticated cyberthreat landscape, Verizon Enterprise Solutions
announced the launch of its Data Breach Investigations Report
(DBIR) app for Splunk® software.
The new free downloadable app helps take the guess work out of
cyberthreats by harnessing the rich historical breach intelligence
gathered by Verizon's data breach investigations team over the past
decade and making it actionable with Splunk security analytics
software.
Based on near real-time information, the DBIR app for Splunk
allows organizations to use Splunk software to gain business
insights and operational intelligence using analytics to correlate
machine data and network traffic, proactively monitor and detect
anomalies, create alerts, and quickly search and investigate
threats.
Verizon's robust DBIR dataset now includes more than 10 years of
data, compromising more than 8,000 breaches and nearly 195,000
security incidents. The 2015 report features data from 70
organizations, including Verizon.
"The DBIR app for Splunk underscores our focus on delivering
best-in-class analytics for our clients," said Chris Formant, president of Verizon Enterprise
Solutions. "By leveraging this app, Verizon is strengthening the
tools it provides clients to fight back against the multitude of
cyberthreats facing the enterprise today."
With the DBIR app for Splunk, enterprises can use a variety of
dashboard views that offer specific recommendations for
credentialing use, phishing and malware. The app helps
organizations:
- Track authentication
- Detect credential-based lateral movement
- Log impossible journey VPN connection
- Flag potential exfiltration through email
- Identify vulnerable systems
"The DBIR is an important report for the community, focusing on
the trends of the modern threat landscape derived from analyzing
thousands of real-world attacks," said Haiyan Song, senior vice president, security
markets, Splunk. "By working together, we have operationalized the
insights from the DBIR for the community to allow organizations a
greater level of visibility to address and prevent security
risks."
"Much like the DBIR, we are making this app available as a
public service for the security community to help improve
cyberintelligence," said Mike
Denning, vice president of Global Security for Verizon
Enterprise Solutions. "By coupling Verizon's in-depth, real-world
breach data with Splunk's powerful data analysis software, our
customers gain the actionable intelligence needed to advance their
cybersecurity measures and better secure their data."
Recently awarded the 2015 New Product Innovation Award from
Frost & Sullivan, Research Director, Information & Network
Security Frank Dickson said, "The DBIR application is genius.
Verizon Enterprise Solutions created an easy-to-implement and
user-friendly application that applies rich and unparalleled
real-world breach research to an organization's unique network
environment. The result is actionable intelligence that can make
measurable and tangible improvements to an organization's cyber
security posture."
