How To Take Prevention to the Web Layer
Visibility across every domain is the first step to taking back control of web traffic and network activity
- As threats complexify, SOC teams need visibility that’s fast and comprehensive.
- Symantec® CBX goes beyond endpoint security, revealing web traffic, data details, and suspicious activity across the network.
- Web-layer visibility helps head off threats before they become a headache for your team.
Today’s cyber threats are fueled by more: More ransomware. More attacks leveraging native tools for lethal LOTL. More remote storage pillaging and data exfiltration. More malicious co-opting of third-party tools. More supply chain attacks.
And, with all this happening at machine speed, the cost of staying ahead continues to increase, especially for SOC teams with lean resources or for those relatively new to the battlefield.
Amid this onslaught, CBX Fest’s June webinar, The Entry Point to Enterprise-Grade Web Security, delivers some good news: Symantec CBX’s web security is ready for the challenge with native telemetry correlation and intuitive features that help security teams see more, stop more and respond faster, even for entry-level teams.
Questioning a detection-centered mindset
Many organizations still use EDR mainly for behavioral analysis aimed at detection. Detection is no joke. And the endpoint security foundation of CBX, Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) Complete, takes itself seriously, recently earning a perfect detection score in AV-TEST’s rigorous evaluations. But, that’s not the whole picture.
A detection-centric model can make more work for your SOC. When they catch a malicious application in time to mitigate damage, they still have to answer a lot of questions:
● Was this a legit app that was simply not performing well?
● Was it a legit app that has now been compromised?
● How long has the app been on the machine?
● What did it do before it exhibited bad behavior?
● Did it modify confidential data or compromise data integrity?
● Did it exfiltrate anything?
Answering these questions takes time. And for over-burdened or less-experienced teams, every minute spent investigating is time attackers can use to move deeper into your environment. That’s where stopping more at the web layer can change the story.
Stop threats at the web layer
In a threat landscape where attacks are certain, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of detection.
CBX’s natively correlated visibility reveals activity across endpoints, web traffic, and data, giving analysts greater context into what happened before and during an attack. But visibility at the web layer also creates opportunities to stop threats earlier. Because CBX sees the whole attack field and delivers intel at machine speed, it gets ahead of the timeline and lowers Mean Time to Prevent (MTTP). Attackers hit fast, but CBX blocks faster, stopping attacks at the web layer before they ever get to the box and eliminating the post-attack interrogation.
Like numbers? Customers deploying this technology stack see more than 90% of attacks blocked before they reach the endpoint, easing the burden on SOC teams.
Curated policies for your inner control freak
BX consolidates intelligence and drives policy tuning, making it easy to tailor web security to your organization’s needs. Its easily-digestible insights offer clear direction on preventable risks, while its intuitive console makes policy tuning a breeze.
Visibility and machine speed are the not-so-secret sauce behind it all. When CBX’s native telemetry gives a full view of your whole enterprise across domains, with analysis digested and delivered quickly and clearly, you get actionable insights that your team can trust. Combined with AI-powered summaries and guided investigations, CBX helps analysts of every experience level work faster (with less manual effort). With CBX, they can customize their organization’s policies for maximized protection with confidence and clarity across networks, endpoints, and data.
Seeing is believing
If this sounds too good to be true, watch the CBX Fest session for yourself. CBX delivers a single-pane view, run by a single agent and unified console that makes web visibility, prevention, and customized policy tuning intuitive—without the need of toggling between screens or devices.
Unlike vendors who dress up hopes, dreams, and a couple of APIs and call it integration, CBX is the real deal. No matter where the data is, no matter where the users are, everything goes through the same simplified security stack, so it gets a comprehensive, seamless web traffic inspection, CASB controls, and a host of other built-in checkpoints. Network protection goes even further with web categorization, filtering, and sensitive data scanning to block web-based threats before they reach the browser.
It’s shoes off, check pockets for receipts style security that gives risky web activity a serious checkpoint before it can reach the endpoint.
