The Heimdal Threat-hunting & Action Center will be launched in early 2023. The platform will significantly cut down the time it takes organizations to identify and analyze threats, hopefully giving them the edge over cybercriminals. The company said it will support “granular telemetry to enable swift decision-making.” “I am extremely pleased to announce that Heimdal is launching a product that will reshape cybersecurity as we know it. Our new Threat-hunting and Action Center will supercharge SecOps and leapfrog the effectiveness of any cybersecurity strategy,” Heimdal Security CEO Morten Kjaersgaard said. Heimdal’s upcoming tool will be an alternative to Microsoft’s Sentinel, Palo Alto’s Cortex, Splunk, and others.
‘The Ultimate Visual Story Board’
Heimdal Security‘s new platform is an improvement on existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) software. Heimdal’s CTO, Cosmin Toader, described it as “the ultimate story board that helps security team and leaders with total visibility, contextualized threat intelligence, and actionable tools to prevent and resolve persistent cybersecurity threats.” By combining data visualization, threat hunting, remediation, and mitigation in a single AI-powered platform, Heimdal will empower businesses to monitor their systems consistently for any unusual behaviors. It will allow them to identify and analyze threats quickly and respond to them appropriately. Toader said The Heimdal Threat-hunting & Action Center was inspired by feedback from customers and industry professionals. “Heimdal’s new solution comes as a response to an ever-evolving threat landscape where the time and resources of IT teams become increasingly stretched over a multitude of priorities,” Heimdal said in a press release.
Ever-Evolving Cyber Threats
The Mandiant 2023 cybersecurity forecast said online threats would continue to evolve in the coming year, with threat actors deploying increasingly sophisticated schemes to evade detection. In April, the world’s largest insurer Allianz said data breaches, ransomware attacks, and phishing scams remain the top global cybersecurity risks. Increasingly, organizations need to rely on state-of-the-art security tools or work with MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers) who use these tools. AI-powered security solutions, like Heimdal’s new platform, can save valuable time and support a company’s efforts to strengthen its defenses against the myriad threats lurking. “Heimdal is continuing its commitment to driving groundbreaking changes to the industry, and we are certain that this new tool will evolve threat-hunting by mitigating risks faster with less effort, as well as drive a change in productivity for mid-market and enterprise customers, as well as MSP and MSSPs,” Kjaersgaard said. The Heimdal Threat-hunting & Action Center will be released early 2023. Customers can stay updated by visiting the link above and joining the mailing list.
