CyberArk announced the availability of
Privileged Threat Analytics which it claims is industry’s first analytics
solution to detect malicious privileged account behaviour and disrupt
in-progress attacks before damage is done to a business.
Privileged accounts have been identified as the primary target in internal and advanced external attacks. According to security consultancy firm Mandiant, “APT intruders prefer to leverage privileged accounts where possible, such as domain administrators, service accounts with domain privileges, local administrator accounts, and privileged user accounts.”* CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics provides targeted and immediately actionable threat analytics on these critical attack vectors by identifying previously undetectable malicious privileged user behaviour, which enables the incident response team to respond and disrupt in-progress attacks. CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics is the industry’s only targeted privileged threat analytics solution.

“Privileged accounts are the most powerful accounts in any
organisation because of the broad access they can provide. For us,
managing and controlling this access is critical to securing the
enterprise, and in achieving and maintaining compliance with numerous
regulations,” said Erica Beall, IT Security Systems Analyst at The
Williams Companies. “Real-time analytics and alerts on privileged
user activity will provide management with impactful information to
maximise our security posture.”
“Privileged user behaviour profiling can be a critical weapon in combating both external and internal threats by discovering abnormal behaviour early,” said Charles Kolodgy, Research Vice President for IDC's Security Products service. “The key to CyberArk's inventive solution is to analyse the right data – that being the activities of privileged user accounts – providing high value, actionable intelligence on a critical attack vector.”

As the secure perimeter has dissolved, the new battleground for
information security is inside the network. CyberArk Privileged
Threat Analytics is the latest innovation in CyberArk’s market
leading privileged account security solution that secures an
organisation’s most critical assets and data. By applying patented
analytic technology to a rich set of privileged account behaviour
data from its privileged account security solution, along with
contextual information from system resources, CyberArk Privileged
Threat Analytics provides targeted, high value and actionable
intelligence to security teams.
“Organisations must assume attackers have already penetrated the
perimeter and once inside, will almost always attempt to take control
of privileged accounts to advance their attack,” said Roy Adar,
vice president of product management, CyberArk. “Customers
are asking for controls on privileged accounts, coupled with the
ability to detect suspicious activity to protect their organisations
from evolving threats.”
CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics will be generally available
in December 2013.
