Verint ThreatProtection System™for Financial InstitutionsNEW PERSPECTIVE. NEW DEFENSE.

Protect Your Critical Business Assets from Advanced Cyber ThreatsVerint Threat Protection System™ (TPS) is a comprehensive cyber security platform that offers financial institutions a level of threat protection previously available only to top government and intelligence agencies. Using an intelligence-driven Security Operations Center (SOC) approach that combines detection, investigation and forensics on a single platform, TPS helps SOC teams maximize their threat visibility while bolstering their productivity.

SAVVY CYBER ADVERSARIES HAVE GOTTEN THE UPPER HANDSophisticated cyber attacks against financial institutions can cause devastating damage to a company’s reputation and brand, jeopardize business continuity and increase liability related to non-compliance. Moreover, the interconnectivity of banking networks with suppliers and service providers enlarges the potential attack surface and increases the exposure of financial institutions to security holes in third-party networks.

TOO MUCH NOISE, NOT ENOUGH INTELLIGENCEThe security solutions in place at most financial institutions are not effective against today's complex, multi-stage cyber attacks. SOC teams are hampered by excessive alerts, lack of integration among point tools and a shortage of skilled cyber analysts.

Consequently, there is an increasing need for automated, intelligence-based tools to enable efficient detection and response to cyber attacks across the attack chain. By automating the time-consuming analysis and investigation stages, SOC teams can speed time-to-remediation while freeing analysts to focus on the more complex attacks where human judgment is required.

BUILDING AN INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN SOCIn order to identify, contain and remediate advanced cyber attacks, Gartner1 recommends an intelligence-driven SOC approach. Given the fact that financial institutions are continually under attack, this approach assumes that your network has already been compromised. Accordingly, security focus needs to shift from prevention and incident response to continuous monitoring and rapid detection of threats already in the network. SOCs should focus on prioritizing threats, automating investigations and limiting damage once an attack is identified.

VERINT THREAT PROTECTION SYSTEM – ALL THE INTELLIGENCE YOU NEED TO STOP ADVANCED CYBER THREATSLeveraging over 20 years of Actionable Intelligence® experience protecting some of the world's most targeted networks, TPS uniquely combines orchestrated multi-vector attack detection, automated investigation, deep forensics and actionable response – all in one, pre-integrated platform.

TPS monitors payloads, network and endpoints, automatically detecting attacks across the attack cycle. Multiple detection engines send indicators of compromise to a central TPS brain for analysis and cross-validation, effectively reducing false positives. Patent-pending automated forensic investigation transforms thousands of alerts into dozens of incidents, each complete with the attack story and recommendations for incident response.

"The average enterprise spends $1.3m a year dealing with false positive cyber security alerts" Ponemon (Jan 2015)

DETECTING INCIDENTS ACROSS THE ATTACK CHAIN Advanced cyber campaigns traverse endpoints and networks, establish Command & Control channels, move laterally within a network (e.g., between external and internal network rings) and exfiltrate data. These stages are known as the "attack chain" and are common to almost every advanced cyber attack. TPS uses multiple interconnected engines that operate across the attack chain, including malware detection, lateral movement detection, command & control detection and more. This approach improves the chances of catching a multi-staged attack that slipped through at an earlier stage and enables the system to determine a more accurate level of confidence that an attack is actually happening.

MAXIMIZE SOC EFFICIENCY Automated investigations reduce average investigation times from weeks to days and minutes. In addition, TPS creates a variety of threat intelligence from its multiple detection engines, which can be pushed to perimeter tools to harden security and prevent future attacks.
