8x8 delivers new integrated capabilities for hybrid work
Attivo Networks has announced a new integration for the Attivo EDN Suite with SentinelOne ’ s Singularity XDR platform .
With an uptick in the number of human and machine entities to secure , the attack surface is expanding , making it challenging for organizations to protect their networks from credential-based attacks .
The Attivo Endpoint Detection Net ( EDN ) solution detects credential and privilege escalation attacks , then sends the alert data to the SentinelOne XDR platform , which automatically quarantines the infected endpoint . Combining the two solutions accelerates incident response and reduces the mean-time-to-respond or remediate .
Joint customers can prevent endpoint compromises and disrupt attacker attempts to gather credentials and perform reconnaissance activities needed for lateral movement . The integrated solution creates a rich defense against even the most sophisticated attackers and provides comprehensive coverage across the broadest set of attack techniques , as documented in the MITRE ATT & CK matrix .
“ The Attivo EDN solution is a perfect complement to the SentinelOne Singularity XDR platform . It seamlessly adds visibility to credentialbased attacks , denies the adversary access to the data they seek and
derails them with misinformation every step of the way ,” said Srikant Vissamsetti , Senior Vice President of Engineering , Attivo Networks . “ Plus , joint customers gain visibility into exposed , orphaned or misused credentials on an endpoint and efficiently remove attack paths that adversaries could leverage .”
