ABOUT ATTIVO NETWORKS Traditional cybersecurity is centered on preventative defenses that begin as a reaction to an event. The Attivo Networks approach is centered on proactively detecting and derailing threats early so that an attacker cannot establish a foothold or complete their mission. With deception, decoy landmines, lures, and mis-directions are used so the attacker can no longer identify real from fake and will make mistakes, be forced to spend more time, start over, or find an easier target. The use of deception also facilitates the gathering of adversary intelligence so that defenders can quickly understand the attack, confidently shut it down, and prevent a similar recurrence. The ability to gather real-time intelligence is a unique benefit of deception and is extremely valuable for gaining the upper-hand against attackers. Visibility and detection benefits are achieved by deploying deception on endpoints or as a fabric across the network. This can include user networks, cloud, datacenters, remote offices, specialized infrastructure, IoT, medical IoT, ICS-SCADA, and POS environments. The Attivo ThreatDefend® platform works by providing comprehensive coverage designed to entice in- network attackers into engaging with highly authentic credentials, decoys, applications, and data deceptions that are designed to blend in with the production environment. Defenders gain high-fidelity alerts that are substantiated by the environment’s attack analysis, forensics, and collection of adversary intelligence. This provides valuable insight into attacker intent and threat intelligence required for blocking, isolation, threat hunting, and return adversary mitigation. Extensive native integrations facilitate information sharing with other security controls and the ability to accelerate incident response and remediation. Deployment and ongoing operations are made simple through the use of machine-learning, while standard and advanced management screens facilitate usability for basic and mature security operations. Attivo Networks has won over 125 awards for technology innovation and leadership. Early and accurate detection of external and insider threats remains a top priority for businesses. Attivo is seeing adoption soar as organizations of all sizes make deception a de facto security control for exposing attackers quickly, stopping attacks, and effectively closing security gaps across current and emerging attack surfaces. www.attivonetworks.com AREAS OF EXPERTISE • Executive Leadership • Strategic Financial Planning • International / Global Accounting • Financially Steering High-Growth Companies • Business Growth Positioning and Internal Controls • Merger & Acquisition Due Diligence, Negotiation, and Integration • Operational Improvement & Process Improvements • Building and Managing High Performing Teams
