Veris Group's Adaptive Threat Division Partners with Endgame to Enhance Threat Hunting Capabilities Against Advanced Attackers

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Endgame, a leading endpoint security platform to close the protection gap against advanced attackers, today announced that Veris Group's Adaptive Threat Division (ATD), an industry-leading provider in adversary simulation and detection services, will utilize Endgame's endpoint detection and response platform to enhance detection, response, and threat hunting capabilities to eliminate security threats faster and with greater accuracy for customers.

This partnership leverages Endgame's recently-announced platform enhancements that expand coverage of the attacker lifecycle to anticipate adversary innovations, including In-Memory Attack Detection and Malicious Persistence Detection capabilities. Endgame is the first and only endpoint security platform that combines prevention, detection and response in a single centrally managed dissolvable sensor to prevent attacks and eliminate new and already resident adversaries in time to stop damage and loss.

"We are excited to incorporate Endgame's new signature-less and in-memory detection capabilities into our hunting methodology" said David McGuire, Vice President at Veris Group's Adaptive Threat Division. "Advanced adversaries often attempt to avoid common detection mechanisms. Providing our Hunt teams with a toolset to pursue these threat actors is a significant step forward in our capabilities."

ATD maintains a diverse, highly-skilled team of seasoned red team operators, penetration testers, malware reverse engineers, vulnerability researchers, hunt analysts, application security experts, and software engineers dedicated to the advancement of adversarial capabilities and tradecraft. Among regular industry accolades received, team members particularly stand out as the foremost experts on offensive PowerShell, Active Directory reconnaissance/exploitation, and "fileless" malware. Dedicated to providing increased customer value and contributing to the community, Veris Group ATD team members are among the creators and maintainers of the following non-exhaustive library of popular toolsets including PowerSploit, Empire, Bloodhound, and PowerForensics.

"We're thrilled to partner with Veris ATD to deliver our best-in-class signature-less malware, in-memory, and hunt detection capabilities," said Mark Dufresne, Director of Threat Research and Adversary Prevention at Endgame. "ATD will now have the ability to automate early prevention and detection of sophisticated attacks,  allowing them to disrupt the adversary lifecycle in their customers' networks without the need for signatures. Analysis that used to take hours or days on a small number of endpoints can now be accomplished in a matter of seconds at scale with Endgame."
