RSA Security Analytics is designed to improve threat detection, investigations and response by consuming network flow data, full packet capture (PCAP), logs, and endpoint data, as well as information from other security systems, external threat intelligence and IT assets. Additionally, RSA Security Analytics applies multiple advanced analytics engines, including behavioral analytics, and investigative interfaces to this data to help detect attacks before they can impact the business.
One of the unique aspects of the architecture is RSA Security Analytics' support of RSA's Event Stream Analysis (ESA) technology which is engineered to deliver advanced analytics by enabling both correlations and more sophisticated machine learning-based techniques to detect and provide prioritized alerts on security incidents, as well as providing the full scope of an attack campaign.
Furthermore, RSA Security Analytics is designed to enable forensic investigations that make it simpler for security teams to determine the root cause of an incident in the broader scope of an attack campaign. RSA Security Analytics regularly receives fresh threat intelligence information and other content continuously through its RSA® Live service, which is included with the product. The RSA Live service provides machine-readable threat intelligence thus making the intelligence actionable immediately.
One other distinguishing capability of RSA Security Analytics is the ingestion of RSA® ECAT data, providing endpoint threat detection and response. When used together, the combined solution provides security teams with visibility, threat detection and response capabilities from endpoints to the cloud.
"Network-based security monitoring is not just important for the detection of malware; it is critical for the detection and investigation of a broad set of security incidents using multiple forms of telemetry and analytics," explained Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Christopher Kissel. "RSA Security Analytics provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for incident detection and security forensics. Metadata generation and full network packet capture gives RSA Security Analytics depth and real-time visibility to determine the security posture of the enterprise as traffic traverses its network."
"RSA's solution is ahead in the technology race, creating significant advantages for security monitoring teams," added Kissel. "When a potential breach is detected, the ideal forensics system helps the security analyst act swiftly to contain the threat. RSA's central management of incidents, generation of metadata across multiple data sources, session replay to view exactly what occurred and what was exfiltrated, and the use of advanced analytics and machine learning enables exemplary threat detection and response."
