An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
BluVector combines supervised machine learning and big data analysis techniques to identify malicious features in various types of network traffic. It analyzes code binaries in real-time, running them through pattern analysis engines that give such traffic a probability rating indicating how suspicious the code is.
Suspicious traffic then goes through a secondary analysis step, which runs various third-party tools in a containerized sandbox. BluVector reports 99% accuracy in detecting threats, as compared to 45% accuracy for sandboxed tools alone.
BluVector recently spun off from Northrop Grumman, where the technology focused on the cybersecurity needs of the intelligence community. Now, the vendor is targeting enterprises and also has a solid managed service provider channel, empowering professional services firms to offer threat investigation and resolution services.
