At Palo Alto Networks, we constantly seek out new ways to achieve our mission to protect our way of life in the digital age by preventing successful cyberattacks. We analyze all the steps threat actors take to carry out their attacks and systematically add new protections to disrupt each step. By blocking threat actors’ every move, we limit the opportunity for any attack to succeed.
To bolster organizations’ ability to stop threats across the attack lifecycle, including hard-to-detect attacks inside the network, we’re pleased to introduce Magnifier behavioral analytics. Magnifier is a cloud-based application that analyzes data collected from the Next-Generation Security Platform, profiles the behavior of users and devices in the network, and detects behavioral anomalies that suggest an attack is underway.
But Magnifier doesn’t stop there. It also gathers high-value information from suspicious endpoints and delivers this information, along with user and device context, in actionable alerts. Based on the investigative detail in alerts, security analysts can quickly block attacks.
Magnifier offers several key features to help security teams find the attacks that matter, respond to threats quickly and overcome the challenges associated with logging enormous amounts of data. These key features include:
Magnifier’s detection algorithms are not new; they are based on award-winning technology from LightCyber, a company Palo Alto Networks acquired in February 2017.
Now that LightCyber’s behavioral analytics technology is a part of the Next-Generation Security Platform, we can deliver even better security outcomes. By leveraging the power of the platform, we gain more data sources for attack detection – including unique User-ID, App-ID and Content-ID information – as well as industry-leading threat analysis from WildFire. Our customers can quickly shut down attacks with the next-generation firewall.
Magnifier analyzes metadata from next-generation firewalls and Magnifier Pathfinder endpoint analysis service to uncover active attacks.
Join us on our journey to transform how organizations combat post-intrusion attacks. Subscribe to the first application available on Palo Alto Networks Application Framework.
Availability
Magnifier is expected to become available in February 2018. Contact your Palo Alto Networks account team to find out if you qualify for a free trial of Magnifier, and gain unprecedented visibility into threats inside your network.
