Dunbar Releases First Open Source Active Response Platform for Cybersecurity
To address the security risks caused by "alert fatigue," and to extend
enterprise-grade incident management capabilities to businesses of all
sizes, Dunbar
Security Solutions today launched Cyphon,
the industry's first open source active response platform for collecting
data, identifying cyber-attacks and tracking all subsequent work
performed. Dunbar Security Solutions is a 360° managed security service
for cyber and physical threats and part of Dunbar, America's largest
independent, full-service security organization for nearly a century.
The average enterprise generates nearly 2.7 billion actions from its
security tools every month. This has led to a desensitization of
responses due to the overload of false positives, creating additional
risk as security teams often ignore alerts altogether. Out-of-the-box
tracking and ticketing products lack key functionality necessary to
fully streamline the data management process. Active response is
emerging to address this challenge, but proprietary platforms today are
disparate and expensive.
Cyphon's open source model provides flexibility and scale not offered by
proprietary solutions. It allows enterprises to receive, process and
triage vast and varied data on a customizable, but central platform. As
an open source project, Cyphon can be downloaded
for free and managed by internal enterprise security teams or
licensed with the support of Dunbar analysts and its 24/7 Emergency
Operations Center. Key features of Cyphon include:
-
Aggregation of data from numerous sources, including email, log
messages, APIs, social media and more, all accessible from one
platform with one centralized dashboard.
-
The ability to generate custom alerts with push notifications,
escalate and share issues, and annotate alerts upon analysis,
providing full transparency across the enterprise.
-
Data organization by criticality, type and location, and one-click
access to source data for further investigation.
-
A streamlined workflow for handling alerts and tracking work
performed, as well as integration with other APIs, centralizing
incident management.
-
Prebuilt integrations with popular open source and commercial security
products.
Cyphon is more than another Security Incident Management or data
collection tool. It is an all-in-one incident management solution. It is
able to effectively analyze all an enterprise's online activity while
searching for suspicious behavior and cyber-attacks. Cyphon maximizes
data coverage while minimizing the time and energy needed to monitor
networks, investigate alerts and remediate incidents.
"Dunbar has been in the security business for over a century, our
analysts are the best in the business, and Cyphon enables them to
monitor and address captured data in the most efficient and effective
way possible," said Christopher Ensey, COO of Dunbar Security Solutions.
"Cyphon is Dunbar's solution to the headaches of data management, and
our open approach means that centralized, best-of-breed security is
accessible to even the smallest organizations."
