Camelot Secure unveils AI-based APT hunting service

Camelot Secure, a trailblazing new player in the cybersecurity realm, announced today the launch of its groundbreaking Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Hunting service. This novel approach to cybersecurity incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to blend network monitoring and log analysis with strategic threat intelligence feeds and behavioural analysis. The goal is to proactively identify and neutralise potential threats before they can cause significant harm.

At the heart of Camelot Secure's service is an offensive strategy that delves deep into network infrastructures to unearth and disrupt threat patterns. By leveraging AI and machine learning, these threat patterns are continuously mapped against the renowned MITRE ATT&CK framework, ensuring a robust, constantly evolving defense mechanism.

The effectiveness of Camelot's APT Hunting service hinges on four key pillars:

• Unification of Multiple Data Sources: Integrating data from diverse sources and intelligence feeds to provide a comprehensive security overview, ensuring no threat goes undetected.
• Cybersecurity Baseline Creation: Establishing what constitutes "normal" behaviour within an organisation's network by documenting standard operational activities and patterns of network traffic, user behaviour, system performance, and security events.
• Automation: Automating the identification of 'normal' behaviour across protected cyber landscapes, facilitating real-time vigilance and consistent testing against the established baseline.
• Dashboard Generation: Utilising advanced algorithms and machine learning to filter through numerous alerts generated by various cybersecurity tools and systems. This ensures the most critical issues are prioritised and receive immediate attention.

Parallel with this announcement, Camelot Secure's APT Hunting service was honoured at Cyber Defense Magazine's 11th Annual Top InfoSec Innovator Awards. The recognition underscores Camelot's commitment to pushing the boundaries of cybersecurity and providing organisations with formidable defences against sophisticated cyber threats.

"At Camelot, our approach transforms how we think about cyber defence," said Stanford Oliver, CEO of Camelot Secure. "Our APT Hunting service counters bad actors by actively hunting and neutralising their dangers before they impact our clients' networks. This is cybersecurity redefined, proactively protecting and defending by integrating cutting-edge AI and Machine Learning with the power of the MITRE ATT&CK framework."

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are sophisticated, highly targeted attacks designed to evade traditional security measures and remain undetected for extended periods. Camelot's APT Hunting service deploys several techniques and technologies, including supply chain risk and attack surface management, network monitoring, log analysis, integrated threat intelligence feeds, and behavioural analysis. This multifaceted approach allows Camelot to monitor suspicious activities intricately and identify potential threats before they can cause damage.

Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine, commented on the award, saying, "We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Camelot Secure is worthy of being named a winner in these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment."

Moreover, Camelot's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) eDiscovery Tool has been recognised with a 2023 CSO50 Award for its ability to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of CMMC compliance by focusing on the targeted identification and organisation of sensitive data.

Oliver added, "We are honoured by the recognition from Cyber Defense Magazine, which underscores our commitment to pioneering achievements in cybersecurity. Our APT Hunting and CMMC eDiscovery Tool reflect Camelot Secure's dedication to avoiding sophisticated threats and simplifying compliance challenges. These awards validate our innovative approach and relentless pursuit of excellence in protecting our clients' information."
