Vectra AI integrates with CrowdStrike to modernise security response
Vectra AI, a player in hybrid attack detection, investigation and response, has just announced its latest integration with CrowdStrike Falcon Next Gen SIEM, thereby reinforcing the existing relationship between the two technology firms. This fusion will offer security professionals a viable approach to replacing outdated security data with a modernised response and detection platform.
The amalgamation of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and the Vectra AI Platform presents promising advantages by reducing multifaceted attack visibility and eradicating detection, response, and investigation latency to optimise the use of the Security Operations Center (SOC) team's abilities and time. Among its functions, it is able to identify and examine elusive threats using AI-empowered detections and profound contextual insights from Vectra AI, expedite deployment with streamlined Vectra AI data onboarding and third-party automated response operations, and unify SOC data and processes to deliver superior security outcomes more cost-efficiently.
Vectra AI's new integration with CrowdStrike is intended for hybrid businesses, which span networks, identities, clouds and endpoints. The integration crucially supports SOC analysts in real-time detection of hybrid attacks and stopping them early in their progress. Modern threats are quickly spreading across all surfaces, moving laterally to advance their attack and disrupt business operations – even in the presence of every preventative measure. This newly unveiled marriage between Vectra AI and CrowdStrike provides an effective armament for analysts to counter these attacks.
Vectra AI founder and CEO, Hitesh Sheth, expressed the significance of this collaboration: "As attack surfaces multiply and adversaries leverage more evasive methods, SOC teams are burdened by an increasing volume of alerts, causing greater workloads and ultimately, risking burnout. To keep pace, they require the most accurate attack signal, and AI-driven detection, investigation, and automation is the only answer. Defending against modern hybrid attacks requires a modern hybrid approach. By partnering with CrowdStrike, we are furthering our commitment to providing the support SOC analysts need to address the most sophisticated attacks threatening their enterprise."
The formidable union of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and the Vectra AI Platform with Hybrid Attack Signal Intelligence robustly reduces cost and complexity by diminishing hybrid attack exposure and expunging latency in detection, investigation, and response. This enables the SOC team's talents and time to be used more efficiently. This integration has the capacity to streamline deployment, expedite threat discovery, and unify SOC data and workflows, all while lowering the overall cost. It outperforms obsolete SIEMs and established SIEM alternatives in terms of capabilities and speed, offering an 80% lower total cost of ownership and up to 150 times faster search performance.
Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, accentuated the critical need for organisations to advance their SOC operations: "Today's legacy SIEM are too slow and complex, forcing security analysts to navigate multiple data sources, tools and consoles to extract meaning from data and conduct investigations. In an era where adversaries are getting faster and more sophisticated in their attacks, it is vital that organisations modernise their SOC operations. Our integration with Vectra AI adds context to CrowdStrike's growing ecosystem of data sources, giving security teams the insight and speed they need to stop breaches."
The Vectra AI integration is already available for use via the CrowdStrike Marketplace, ensuring easy accessibility for third-party security products, further enriching the options available for maintaining robust security.
