Adlumin – Revolutionizing the Way Organizations Secure Sensitive Data and Understand Threats through Managed Security Services Platform

With the evolving threat landscape, almost every security analyst believes that a cyber-attack is no more a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’. No matter how big or small an organization is, it is not immune to the horrors of cyber-attacks. To lower the risk to cyber security of an organization, threat intelligence serves as an added shield to security controls. Threat Intelligence includes acquisition of prior knowledge of cyber threats so that organizations can strengthen their defense mechanisms against on-going cyber-attacks.

Adlumin is revolutionizing the way corporations secure sensitive data and intellectual property while achieving their compliance objectives. Businesses are routinely under attack by internal and external threats using rogue accounts, credential theft, and identity-based attacks to subvert defenses that can damage your reputation and bottom line. Organizations can't wait weeks for answers — they need immediate detection and response actions. Adlumin's cloud-native SIEM was built for financial institutions. Their platform analyzes customers' network data and turns it into response actions to protect against malicious activity. The company's top priority is to help financial institutions comply, detect, prioritize, and respond, 24/7.

The Adlumin MDR Platform

Most technologies or managed services providers give you partial visibility or bare-minimum management resources. Adlumin MDR++ Platform includes 100% XDR capabilities and modules to shed light on your security journey and a team that’s with you every step forward. Use the Adlumin platform to build the foundation of your SOC. Empower your enterprise with 360-degree visibility and prioritization at machine-learning speeds to bring maximum illumination to your security operations. The platform streamlines data ingestion, analysis, and compliance workflows throughout your enterprise — illuminating unseen cyber threats, system vulnerabilities, and IT operations, so your path to response and compliance becomes clear. It is designed to give you as much power as you need, when you need it, where you need it — without up-charging you for critical modules. Unbound by your technology, Adlumin gets to know your environment, what’s normal, and what’s not. You don’t have to spend time writing rules. The company deploys in minutes, no matter your architecture or technology, without relying on any hardware or software integrations. Adlumin collects and indexes data from any source imaginable – network traffic, web servers, VPNs, firewalls, custom applications, application servers, hypervisors, GPS systems, and pre-existing structured databases. Then their platform compares it all to command authority and tells you if anything is abnormal.

Multi-Layer Ransomware Defense Solutions Offered

Total Ransomware Defense: Ransomware is one of the biggest threats facing the cybersecurity industry today. The magnitude of its danger continues to increase by the day, leaving organizations around the country vulnerable. Adlumin is a Managed Security Services platform that protects against ransomware attacks through its new product, Total Ransomware Defense (TRD). TRD provides your network with multi-layer protection, eliminating the success of a ransomware attack at each layer. Adlumin’s Total Ransomware Defense combines industry-leading intelligence sources with the first pre-execution convolutional neural network trained solely on ransomware. The pre-execution layer leverages several external threat feeds, proprietary data feeds, and machine learning to offer an instant response for known harmful ransomware. Suspicious processes that are not “known bad” are then passed to the additional layers for further analysis.

Proactive Defense: Adlumin’s Proactive Defense Program empowers employees with the skills to identify and report suspicious activity, which is the best defense against cyber adversaries delivering attacks through convincing campaigns and phishing lures. Adlumin, in partnership with KnowBe4, has the expertise to facilitate and operate a customized security awareness training program in line with their security operation center services. All security awareness training program reports and analytics are visible, available, and actionable through Adlumin’s managed detection and response platform.

Continuous Vulnerability Management: Continuous Vulnerability Management enables customers to automatically detect vulnerabilities and critical misconfigurations per CIS benchmarks, broken out by asset. Misconfigurations, unlike vulnerabilities, do not have formal CVE IDs associated, which can leave assets out of compliance and vulnerable to attack. It identifies critical vulnerabilities and misconfigurations on the industry’s widest range of devices, operating systems, and applications.
