AI Breakthrough Slashes Threat Detection and
Response Time by Orders of Magnitude to Supercharge Analysts'
Efficiency and Reduce Risks and Costs
Stellar Cyber, the most open, automation-driven security
operations platform powered by Open XDR, is introducing Multi-Layer
AI™. Multi-Layer AI incorporates four distinct technologies –
Machine Learning (ML), Graph ML, Generative AI, and Hyper
Automation – all in a single unified platform that reduces threat
detection and response time.
Multi-Layer AI extends Stellar Cyber’s long-time AI leadership
in the cybersecurity solutions market. The company pioneered the
use of AI in a SecOps platform with the debut of its Open XDR
platform in 2018. This new approach leverages AI at multiple steps
in the detection, correlation and response process to reduce alert
volume, prioritize and correlate threats, counsel analysts, and
respond automatically.
How Multi-Layer AI Improves Security
Managing torrents of data from dozens of cybersecurity tools
takes a lot of time, which is why most major data breaches have
taken months to discover. Successfully responding to cybersecurity
attacks is about visibility combined with the ability to act on it
quickly. The only way to gain visibility is by collecting data from
the entire attack surface, including:
- Endpoints, using tools like EDR and EPP
- Network, using tools like firewalls, IDS and NDR
- Identity Management systems, using tools like Active
Directory, Azure AD, and Okta
- SaaS, using emails and applications like Office 365 and
Google Workspace
- Clouds, using PaaS/IaaS like AWS, Azure, GCP and
OCI
- Vulnerability Assessment, using tools like Tenable and
Rapid7
Each security tool stores data in its own format. In the Stellar
Cyber platform, the data is automatically transformed through
normalization into a single format and enriched with context so it
can be effectively used by AI.
Here’s how Stellar Cyber uses Multi-Layer AI to speed
detection and responses:
- Detection AI – The platform’s ML-based AI (incorporating
Supervised, Unsupervised, and Deep Learning ML) evaluates 10-100
TB/day of data and automatically detects common threats. This
converts terabytes of data to thousands of alerts per day.
- Correlation AI – The platform’s Graph ML technology
spots correlations between two or more alert signals, weak or
strong, assembling them into contextual cases that identify
impacted and potentially impacted assets. This process converts
thousands of alerts into hundreds of manageable cases per day,
reducing analysts’ workloads.
- Copilot AI – The platform’s Generative AI (Gen AI)
implementation, AI Investigator, speeds complex threat analysis by
providing instant responses to analysts’ questions, further
reducing the number of analyst decisions to less than a hundred per
day and cutting threat response times. For example, an analyst can
ask, “Show all the incidents where data was exported between 12-9
AM,” or “Which emails went to domains in Russia?”
- Hyper Automation AI (in forthcoming releases) – The
platform uses ML to address known attack techniques like phishing.
For example, the Stellar Cyber platform can use Hyper Automation to
automatically analyze phishing emails through AI.
Stellar Cyber’s History of AI Innovation
Since its debut at RSAC in 2018, Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR
platform has led the way in using AI to simplify and speed
cybersecurity detection and response.
“Stellar Cyber founder and CTO Aimei Wei recognized at the
inception of the company that the essential cybersecurity challenge
was having to manually process and interpret terabits of data per
day – analysts were so buried in alerts that they couldn’t tell the
real ones from the false ones, and it could take months to see and
respond to the real threats,” said Steve Garrison, SVP Marketing at
Stellar Cyber. “That’s why we baked AI into our SecOps platform
from Day One, and why we are continuing to leverage it in all forms
as we move forward.”
Supporting Customer Quotes
“Stellar Cyber is the most cost-effective way to adopt AI and
XDR,” said Erwin Eimers, CISO of Sumitomo Chemical.
“Stellar Cyber’s platform helped us consolidate tools, and its
Multi-Layer AI™ makes it far easier to identify and act upon
alerts,” said Jon Mayled, CTO at 5-Hour Energy.
“Stellar Cyber’s Multi-Layer AI delivers orders of magnitude
faster detection and response than competitors,” said Joshua Cole,
CTO & Co-Founder of Assura, Inc.
“The platform’s AI delivers a complete view of security events
across our clients’ global infrastructure under one pane of glass,”
said Todd Willoughby, Director of Security & Privacy at RSM
US.
As the originator of Open XDR and the use of AI to speed threat
detection and response, Stellar Cyber now makes the next leap
forward with Multi-Layer AI.
