MantisNet joins SAS Alliance program to provide real-time networking intelligence and protocol streaming data to customers
James Ruotolo of SAS
MantisNet, the provider of real-time network intelligence software solutions for cybersecurity and network operations, announced that it has joined the SAS Partner Program as a Silver Partner. MantisNet will collaborate with SAS and offer real-time network protocol processing from its Programmable Packet Engine (PPE) into the SAS portfolio of fraud and cybersecurity analytics solutions.
The PPE is a revolutionary network intelligence engine which ingests raw, unfiltered network traffic, at line-rate, with in-memory processing and organises the unstructured data from the network, and structures it into streaming metadata – standardised key-value pairs, for efficient consumption by analytic workflows.
“We are very excited about the long-term prospects for working with SAS,” said Peter Dougherty, CEO of MantisNet. “Their vision for pushing the technological boundaries of event-driven analytics aligns with ours as we mutually seek to improve customer insights and decision loops for security and fraud events. Through the PPE’s network intelligence data, we are eager to help SAS customers make real-time detection and remediation a reality.”
According to the FireEye 2019 Mandiant M-Trends Report the dwell time, or time to detect a cyber incident, is decreasing. Globally, the dwell time has decreased from 101 days in 2017 to 78 days in 2018; where the less time it takes to identify and contain incidents can impact the cost to recover from them.
Organisations employing real-time network intelligence with real-time interactive remediation capabilities can bolster analytic workflows with real-time data with the goal to further reduce the identification and containment times.
“MantisNet’s real-time intelligence solutions are changing the way organisations deploy, manage, monitor and secure their network infrastructures for cybersecurity and fraud detection,” said James Ruotolo, SAS senior director, Fraud and Security Intelligence Product Management. “Data from the PPE will provide a new form of network telemetry that will greatly enhance our clients’ situational awareness. This will enable customers to increase security and fraud detection—without jeopardising risk or introducing friction.”
