SS8 BreachDetect is known as a "time machine" for breach detection, using deep, new approaches to network visibility and continuous retrospection to accelerate and simplify breach hunting and investigations. BreachDetect combines investigation-grade communications analytics, machine learning and data analytics, proven with the world's largest intelligence agencies, to detect and analyze breaches for fast remediation.

For increased simplification, SS8 includes an easy-to-use dashboard with a color-coded Kanban-style threat panel that eliminates any need to sift through massive amounts of log data and threat intelligence feeds to find compromised devices-of-interest. This automated workflow takes the guesswork out of hunting for breaches and incident response.

"We believe that the inclusion of SS8 in this Forrester report underscores the advanced threat detection and response innovations we are bringing to market," said Tony Thompson, vice president of marketing for SS8. "SS8 is focused on automating breach detection and arming security professionals with actionable intelligence about compromised devices-of-interest, all without ever deploying an agent on the endpoint. Our retrospective model pinpoints threats and paints a clear picture of the cyber kill chain for fast incident response."
