thatDot CEO Explains Streaming Graph to Cybersecurity Thought Leader

Briefing Room on demand webinar on thatDot Youtube channel: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Streaming Graph thatDot founder and CEO Ryan Wright discussed the power of thatDot Streaming Graph and Novelty to detect the most well-hidden threats with the Bloor Group's Eric Kavenagh and Mark Lynd, who was ranked #1 global thought leader in cybersecurity by Thinkers360. With high-profile data breaches hitting the headlines every other day now, the way we're doing this is clearly a losing battle....

Stateful Digital Twin

by thatDot | Use Cases

The Problem While digital twins and the emerging subcategory of asset graphs promise operators greater visibility into the relationships between IT assets and equipment under management, current approaches are more like snapshots of a point in the past. Events take place in real time, meaning the digital twin is almost always out of date, limiting its utility. Lack of visibility translates into delayed reactions to threats or failure modes. Digital twins are out of step with enterprises...

Real-Time IoB Threat Hunting

by thatDot | Use Cases

The Problem Modern threat detection requires data – lots of data – typically from multiple sources. This brings with it a number of interesting data engineering challenges, especially when we want to materialize that data into a single view and execute analysis in a timely and cost-effective manner. Finding indicators of behavior (IoBs) in real time amplifies already significant challenges: processing enough of the right kind of data from multiple sources in a timely fashion is beyond the...

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Detection

by thatDot | Use Cases

The Problem Discovering advanced persistent threats (APT) is, by design, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. The threat actors behind APTs combine multiple tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) over extended periods of time to compromise and maintain access to their targets. The IBM Cost of Data Breach Report 2021 reported an average attacker dwell time of 212 days. APTs evade legacy security solutions which rely on time-batched loads of data that filter for Indicators of Compromise...

Real-time AWS CloudTrail Threat Detection

by thatDot | Use Cases

The Problem AWS CloudTrail logs are full of untapped information that can help reduce risk and improve event response times, especially when analyzed in context and in real time. A thatDot cyber security customer seeking to expand their offerings to include threat detection monitoring of AWS CloudTrail logs faced three challenges. They needed to: Reliably identify hard-to-detect insider and external threats using Indicators of Behavior (IoB) analysis Generate highly informative alerts that...
