Illusive Networks, a company that specializes in deception-based cyber defense solutions, has unveiled a Forensics On Demand offering for security operations center (SOC) teams. Forensics on Demand enables SOC teams to use the Illusive Platform to reduce their incident response time by up to 90 percent, according to the company.
SOC teams can use Forensics on Demand to initiate forensics collection on targeted machines, Illusive stated. In addition, Forensics on Demand enables SOC teams to retrieve threat intelligence and context, so they can prioritize security alerts.
The Illusive Platform reveals security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities and detects cyberattacks, the company stated. It provides forensic intelligence via any system-generated event across endpoint detection and response (EDR), security information and event management (SIEM) and other cybersecurity solutions.
Furthermore, the Illusive Platform features a forensic API that can be integrated with security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) systems and workflows, the company noted. The platform also delivers forensics from any machine, increases the volume of events that SOC teams can investigate and minimizes false-positive security alerts.
Is the Demand for Digital Forensics Solutions Increasing?
Several cybersecurity companies recently have purchased digital forensics providers, including:
- Aon: Acquired incident response and digital forensics specialist Cytelligence.
- Cellbrite: Bought computer forensics specialist BlackBag Technologies.
- Kroll: Purchased RP Digital Security, which specializes in computer forensics, digital security and eDiscovery.
The global digital forensics market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 15.9 percent between 2017 and 2022 and could be worth nearly $9.7 billion by 2022, according to industry analyst MarketsandMarkets. As such, the number of cybersecurity companies to add digital forensics to their portfolios may increase in the years to come.
