Reveal Security Launches the Reveal Platform
Reveal Security has officially launched the Reveal Platform, a pioneering solution tailored for preemptive identity security across SaaS, cloud, and custom applications. As organizations navigate the complexities of modern hybrid environments, the platform aims to deliver comprehensive visibility into both human and non-human identity behaviors, enabling security teams to thwart threats before any damage is inflicted.
In an era where compromise of credentials is alarmingly common, Kevin Hanes, CEO of Reveal Security, emphasized the growing risks associated with insider threats and non-human identity challenges. Conventional detection methods often prove inadequate once identities have been authenticated, making it crucial to enhance security measures post-authentication. Hanes stated, "Once the identity is authenticated, the typical detection mechanisms struggle to differentiate between benign and malicious actions carried out by seeming 'trusted' identities."
The innovative approach of the Reveal Platform transitions the advantage back to security professionals by monitoring identity behaviors post-authentication, identifying activities that may signal compromise, and leveraging predictive intelligence to trigger instant and automated responses.
Why Preemptive Cybersecurity is Essential
Research from Gartner highlights the pressing need for preemptive cybersecurity solutions, stressing that without them, organizations remain vulnerable. The sophistication and speed of AI-driven threats are outpacing the capabilities of existing standalone detection and response methods.
Unlike traditional security tools that primarily focus on monitoring login points, the Reveal Platform offers a more robust solution. By meticulously tracking identity behavior across applications and cloud environments, it identifies anomalies at multiple stages of the authentication process. This ability provides security teams with valuable insights into potential threats, enabling them to act quickly and preemptively against various attack vectors.
Key Features of the Reveal Platform
The Reveal Platform integrates critical functionalities that bolster identity security, including:
- - Post-Authentication Visibility: This feature reveals what identities are doing across various applications, providing a clearer understanding of activities in systems like Box, Salesforce, Okta, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure, and more.
- - Cross-App Behavioral Analytics: Delivers a holistic view of identity behavior across the multitude of enterprise applications in use.
- - Credential Abuse Detection: Identifies unauthorized access and activities linked to stolen or misused credentials.
- - Insider Threat Protection: Monitors suspicious behavior and potential threats posed by internal users, whether malicious or negligent.
- - Human and Non-Human Behavior Monitoring: Evaluates behaviors from both bots and APIs like human users, ensuring a thorough understanding of all active entities.
- - Preemptive Identity Security: Through its identity attribution capabilities and predictive intelligence, the platform determines the actors behind actions, allowing security teams to act proactively.
- - One-Shot Response Automations: Instantly manages accounts by suspending access, revoking sessions, or updating risk profiles based on predefined policies.
- - Seamless SOC Integration: The platform integrates smoothly with SIEM, SOAR, and collaboration tools like Slack, enabling more contextual alerts and rapid responses without the need for additional endpoint agents.
Real-World Applications
The effectiveness of the Reveal Platform is demonstrated by its ability to detect and respond to incidents in real-time. For example:
- - Detection of Unauthorized Activity: The platform flagged a series of actions that deviated from typical identity behaviors, prompting immediate containment, preventing potential security breaches across critical identity access systems.
- - Insider Threat Detection: Noticed suspicious activity within Microsoft 365 that indicated possible data exfiltration attempts, leading to quick suspension of the compromised account.
- - Compromised Executives' Credentials: The platform recognized that a high-ranking executive's account had been manipulated to browse sensitive information, leading to timely intervention that safeguarded the organization's data integrity.
Conclusion
The Reveal Platform is not just a security tool but a transformative solution aimed at empowering organizations to reclaim control over identity security. With its launch, Reveal Security positions itself at the forefront of preemptive identity protection, ensuring that enterprises can confidently navigate the complexities of today's cyber threat landscape. The platform is available immediately, with existing users receiving comprehensive upgrade support. New users interested in exploring the platform can request a demo via the Reveal Security website.
