Compare AhnLab MDS vs. SecLytics Augur

Recent and more sophisticated cyber-attacks have increasingly focused on infiltrating organizations by embedding malware or harmful files within web applications and emails. These attacks facilitate the dissemination of malware that often evades detection by standard security measures; thus, they are referred to as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Despite this growing concern, many organizations continue to utilize traditional security approaches, such as antivirus programs, firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems, to counteract evolving malware threats. As a result, numerous organizations find themselves still exposed to these Advanced Persistent Threats. It is well-known that the repercussions of such attacks can lead to significant financial losses due to compromised intellectual property, theft of sensitive information, damage to infrastructure, and operational downtime. To combat these complex threats, AhnLab MDS (Malware Defense System) offers a robust APT protection solution that utilizes a hybrid of on-premise and cloud-based analytics, effectively addressing advanced targeted threats throughout the organization and enhancing overall cybersecurity resilience. Moreover, this comprehensive approach empowers organizations to proactively defend against the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.

Traditional Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) notify you of dangers only once they are already attempting to breach your network. In contrast, SecLytics Augur employs machine learning to analyze the patterns exhibited by threat actors, thereby constructing detailed profiles of adversaries. This innovative system forecasts the development of attack infrastructure and accurately predicts potential assaults with minimal false positives, often before they occur. The insights gained from these predictions can be seamlessly integrated into your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system or managed security service provider (MSSP) to facilitate automated threat blocking. Augur continually manages and assesses a database of over 10,000 adversary profiles, with fresh profiles being introduced on a daily basis. By anticipating threats before they officially manifest, Augur effectively neutralizes the element of surprise that attackers often rely upon. Unlike conventional TIPs, Augur is capable of uncovering and safeguarding against a broader array of potential threats. Furthermore, it adeptly detects the establishment and accumulation of cybercriminal infrastructure online prior to an attack, as the patterns exhibited during infrastructure setup are both systematic and distinctive. This proactive approach not only enhances security measures but also empowers organizations to stay ahead of emerging cyber threats.
