A major cyberattack hits a large corporation in your industry. The story sweeps across news media publications. Your CEO taps you, the one-man-band security team, on your shoulder and asks how you are protecting the company against bleeding edge threats.
Whether you’re a 50-person or a 5,000-person company, you likely have new attack vectors from adopting cloud infrastructures during the pandemic-induced overnight digital transformation. However, you might not have a hefty security team for proper defense.
Bigger companies typically have two security teams: a vulnerability management team and a security operations team. The first identifies areas that need patching, to be taken down, or cordoned off until patches are available for system remediation. The latter ingests brand new emerging threats while figuring out how best to detect and thwart mal activity.
These teams are operational, so choosing whether to focus on vulnerability data or threat intelligence data becomes a prioritization problem.
Most cybersecurity products will divide a mountain of issues into larger hills, and one question comes to mind: Where does the most critical data live? This is a significant factor in how prevalent a particular threat is to you and your industry peers.
Triangulating emerging cyber threats is a challenge for most.
That is where Fletch comes in.
Fletch’s engine scans through all security articles published through open-source intelligence and all major media outlets that cover cyber threats.
- First, it finds which articles include indicators (such as vulnerability data or malware intelligence data).
- Next, it determines the prevalence of the threat - how often it is getting shared and engaged with by the Infosecurity community. This information gives you a better sense of the nature of the threat.
- Fletch then ranks which articles are the most impactful and generates boards that provide insight into the nature of that threat while also overlaying your vulnerability and malware intelligence data, so you can quickly assess whether or not your organization is at risk.
- If it is at risk, Fletch recommends the precise assets you have to protect and defend against the threat.
Fletch executes this in a matter of minutes.
The storyboards are produced for you in real-time. It’s comparable to reading the newspaper but in terms of your company. We also make it cost-effective, automated, and intelligent - the software takes only 10 to 15 minutes to set up.
By joining data on multiple levels, Fletch can provide crucial context unique to your environment while taking the grunt work off of security professionals and teams.
Emerging cyber threats are ever-changing, and that’s okay because Fletch does the heavy lifting for you by triangulating and generating new insights based on the news for you every day. Fletch gives your security team a fighting chance to focus on remediation so that leadership can sleep at night, knowing they’re covered.
“Our DNA goes back to machine learning and natural language processing...we believe this technology has a long track record and can be used to empower teams that are not only experts, but are understaffed and under-resourced...this tool is exactly what is needed to help teams move fast in an ever-changing landscape.” - Grant Wernick
