Balbix gets picked up by Gartner as a “Cool Vendor” for 2018 in the Security and Risk Management market.

A self-learning system powered by AI that can continuously predict breach likelihood and impact for every device, app and user on your network, across hundreds of attack vectors.

Unboxing Balbix

  • Smart Sensors are deployed across your entire enterprise network automatically and continuously discover and monitor all devices, apps and users for hundreds of attack vectors. Sensors can be deployed as physical or virtual appliances, they are of 3 types: Network sensors discover devices, apps, and networks, Traffic sensors monitor network traffic and Host sensors gather detailed device and app information such as configuration, policies and software version.
  • An AI Engine runs in the cloud and leverages deep learning and ML to calculate risk across all devices, users and apps. Risk calculation happens in three steps: 1. Likelihood of breach evaluates the risk of compromise across hundreds of attack vectors for each asset in your enterprise. 2. Impact of breach assesses the impact of compromise for each asset, impact is calculated based on the damage an attacker can inflict through lateral movement and ex-filtration from a compromised asset. 3. Continuous breach simulation performs millions of breach simulations across the entire enterprise network, every possible breach path is modeled across all attack vectors to calculate breach risk.
  • An interactive, real-time Risk Dashboard enables your security team to predict breach scenarios, prioritize initiatives and mitigate risk by implementing actionable insights.

Tech Mahindra with Balbix launches a new managed service offering called an Intelligent Security Operations Center (iSOC), a giant leap from being reactive to being able to predict and proactively avoid security breaches.
