Infocyte Launches Next-Gen Cyber Risk Management Platform

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) April 10, 2018 -- Today, Infocyte, Inc., a leader in the threat hunting market, announces the release of Infocyte HUNTTM 3.0, delivering the next generation of risk assessment and management by addressing both threats and lnerabilities across all assets, both in the cloud and on premises for enterprises and Small-to-medium sized organizations.

Infocyte HUNT TM Platform leverages the latest advances in threat hunting capabilities Utilized by the U.S. military and top cybersecurity service providers. The new 3.0 release, expands on the foundation of threat hunting to now also address asset discovery and vulnerabilities.

Legacy cyber risk management vendors have stagnated over the years and only address a fraction of cyber risk,
including vulnerabilities and assets, while completely ignoring the cyber threats that may be present after a vulnerability has been exposed.

“As the pioneer in threat hunting, organizations are coming to us for proactive threat and breach discovery," said Curtis Hutcheson, CEO of Infocyte, Inc. "The HUNT platform allows internal teams and assessors to quickly and independently detect hidden threats to satisfy compliance regulations and address issues before they become a data breach."

"We continue to see organizations looking at ways to quantify their risk though vulnerability and asset discovery. There is a need to add proactive threat hunting for a more robust picture of risk across the corporate landscape, said Rob Ayoub, Program Director, Security Products at IDC. "Blending threat, vulnerability and asset discovery is an innovative and important step for organizations to truly understand their risk."

"Based on our collective experience hunting threats and responding to incidents on the United States Air Force's global networks, we are evolving our platform to usher in the future of cyber risk and threat assessment," said Chris Gerritz, Founder and Chief Product Officer, Infocyte, Inc. "Our simple, flexible yet powerful hunting solution provides deep insight on every application across all networked assets, whether they are vulnerable, malicious or simply unauthorized."

Infocyte HUNT is an automated platform to simplify the hunt process and reduce the skillset requirement for hunting malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs). When prevention and security controls fail, Infocyte HUNT significantly reduces attacker dwell time-the period between infection and discovery-to deny them the ability to persist undetected, reduce business impact, and restore a network. Our customers are reducing dwell time to hours versus the industry standard of six months.
