Challenge
Automated Event Monitoring and Triage for 28 billion events every 90 days
The sheer volume of security event data logged by Kyriba’s security software poses significant challenges to the company’s security professionals. Data feeds into Kyriba’s Splunk’s log management tool at the rate of 28 billion events every 90 days. While it is critical to continually monitor this torrent of data, doing so manually can be tedious, demoralizing, and costly.
Mandiant Automated Defense integrates with Kyriba’s end-to-end security architecture and uses AI and machine learning to assess the data aggregated by the company’s security platform. It helps screen out non-critical events while revealing those that matter. This enhances the security team’s capacity to monitor and triage events and reduces the time they spend investigating false positives.
“With Mandiant Automated Defense, we’re confident that we’re catching critical events. It’s a huge morale boost because we know it has our back.”
— Kevin Bailey, Cyber Defense Security Director, Kyriba
