Skyhawk Security Announces a Paradigm Shift in Cloud Security, Introduces AI-based Autonomous Purple Team for Continuous Proactive Protection

AWS
re:Invent --
Skyhawk Security,
the originator of cloud threat detection and response (CDR, now
also called CIRA by Gartner), is announcing a paradigm shift in
cloud security with
Continuous Proactive
Protection. This latest advancement in its industry
leading CDR Synthesis Security Platform introduces the first
AI-based, autonomous purple team providing
Adaptive Cloud
Threat Detection and Response, continuously enhancing its
protection of the customer’s cloud.
The new offering continuously analyzes customer cloud
infrastructure, proactively runs attack simulations against it and
uses the results to prepare verified detections, validated
automated responses and remediation recommendations to ensure the
cloud has the most up to date security defenses in place. This
continuous protection process includes learning and
automated adaptation of threat detection methods. This
enables security teams to take a proactive and adaptive approach to
their security strategy for the very first time.
“We always hear the same cloud security issues. There are too
many issues to handle, and companies remain vulnerable while trying
to address them. Plus, the detections of both posture and
behavioral issues are reactive, so they must wait for the issues to
happen and then try to address them before it is too late. In the
past 15 years, cloud security was like driving your car while
looking at the rear-view mirror rather than looking ahead,” said
Chen Burshan, CEO of Skyhawk Security.
“What we announce today is a paradigm shift. It is the first
continuous proactive cloud security, delivered by extending our
field-proven CDR platform to use an AI-driven, adaptive security
with self-learning capabilities. The new process continuously and
automatically repeats. It’s like having an automated purple team
that never sleeps and constantly updates and improves your cloud
security in a single synergistic process,” Burshan said.
Continuous Proactive Protection works by running an
AI-based red team against an AI-based blue team
constantly looking for your least resistance paths, simulating
attacks against them and using the results to improve security,
thus proactively protecting an organization’s unique cloud
infrastructure. The autonomous purple team continuously repeating
cycle involves:
- Discover. Discover
the environment inventory and continuously identify the crown
jewels
- Analyze. Analyze
the least resistance paths to the organization’s most important
assets
- Simulate Attacks.
Determine the attack recipes against the high priority crown
jewels
- Evaluate Defenses:
Understand how your defenses detect and respond to threats to
identify gaps in your posture, generate suggestions for a
pre-verified automated response as well as remediation
- Automated
Learnings: The platform uses the results of the continuous
process to adapt detection capabilities resulting in
Adaptive CDR, a tailored detection tuned to each
customer’s cloud infrastructure
By using Continuous Proactive Protection, enterprise security
leaders will:
- Have confidence in their
incident response readiness with threat detection and response
methods fully tailored to their specific cloud
configuration
- Proactively prepare for the top
business risks to prevent cloud breaches
- Fully understand real risks of their
cloud infrastructure
- Understand the highest priority
security gaps
The new capability further extends Skyhawk’s technology
leadership in the application of AI to cloud security. Early this
year, the company announced its Synthesis Security Platform, which
provides unique Cloud Threat Detection and Response (CDR)
capabilities across multi-cloud environments. It followed that with
the industry’s first AI-powered shift left CDR technology which
moves the threat detection process further to the left, even before
the events happening at the perimeter, making the crown jewels
themselves the starting point.
“While the agility, short development cycles and configuration
flexibility of cloud apps have changed the IT landscape for the
better, the rapid rates of deployment and change continue to be a
security challenge,” said John Yeoh, global VP of research at the
Cloud Security Alliance. “Threat actors learn faster than
traditional detection methods can prevent, putting enterprises at
risk through their fast-moving cloud use. Skyhawk is at the
forefront of using AI technology to level the playing field and
keep cloud environments secure.”
“Skyhawk introduced a paradigm shift in cloud security, which we
will bring to our clients on a global scale. Until today, cloud
security solutions were reactive, only detecting misconfigurations,
vulnerabilities or anomalies after they happened. Skyhawk enables
us to shift from reactive to proactive cloud security with its
autonomous, AI-based purple team that continuously analyzes each
customer’s unique cloud infrastructure to identify and protect
against threats before they happen. Plus, we can deliver an
extremely fast time to value, measured in hours not weeks. Skyhawk
will help our clients achieve our ultimate goal – to prevent cloud
breaches,” said Keith Vincent, principal architect for
Technologent, a global IT solutions provider based in Irvine,
California.
Skyhawk will be demonstrating the power of its new Continuous
Adaptive Protection capability in booth #1353 at AWS re:Invent,
taking place November 27 to December 1 in Las Vegas.
