Singapore – ExtraHop, a cloud-native network detection and response firm, has recently announced the launch of new network-based file analysis capabilities in ExtraHop RevealXTM. This solution is designed to detect malware, combat ransomware, and help prevent data loss.
According to the firm, the new capabilities in ExtraHop RevealX provide a holistic approach to file analysis, offering deeper insights and faster response times.
SOC analysts can also utilise the power of the network to reduce their cyber risk within a single platform through its built-in file hashing, file-based detections, and file carving functions. This approach ensures no threat goes unnoticed and operations keep running.
These new features also offer faster threat detection, which rapidly detects malicious files on the network with even greater accuracy. It then generates identifiers to spot unauthorised changes or malicious files instantly, informed by CrowdStrike Falcon Adversary Intelligence built into the ExtraHop RevealX Platform.
Another significant advantage also accelerates investigation workflows with search and filter capabilities that help in quickly pinpointing root cause and responding effectively to potential threats.
Lastly, with file hashing, carving, and analysis directly within the ExtraHop RevealX platform, these new functions reduce manual processes and the costs related to using several different tools.
Kanaiya Vasani, chief product officer at ExtraHop, said, “When burdened with a high volume of alerts across a number of sprawling, outdated security tools, it is becoming nearly impossible for SOC analysts to keep up with attackers.”
“ExtraHop is committed to arming the SOC with a comprehensive solution that consolidates threat detection, investigation, and response in one single platform, elevating enterprises’ security posture while also eliminating legacy tools and overhead. Our file analysis capabilities are the latest stop on this journey to optimising the SOC, improving efficiency, and driving even stronger outcomes for customers around the globe,” added Vasani.
