NetWitness InSight improves upon current risk assessment methodologies by both discovering sensitive data on host systems across the enterprise and concurrently evaluating the security condition of each system.
InSight's combined data discovery and risk exposure analysis provide automated, reproducible and scalable metrics to security, audit and compliance staffs containing the clarity they need to prioritize and mitigate risk in a cost-effective and sensible way. InSight provides three critically important functions for government and private sector IT professionals: Fast, accurate identification of the location of sensitive, proprietary and regulated data on host systems; Assessment of the likelihood of exploitation of the systems on which their most important data resides; Tools that help these organizations prioritize and execute risk remediation efforts on the most critical systems.
The launch of InSight broadens NetWitness' capabilities from network-based advanced network monitoring and threat intelligence to include an end-to-end focus on enterprise-wide risk discovery, prioritization and reduction.
"Some of the world's largest organizations have been telling us that our NextGen offerings provide the deepest level of knowledge and visibility into advanced threats across their networks, and they have been asking for a complementary solution that can address their broader IT risk requirements," said Nick Lantuh, President of NetWitness. "With the introduction of InSight, we can now provide our customers with the deepest view into exactly where their sensitive data resides, helping them to quickly identify which systems are most vulnerable and what fixes need to be prioritized."
