Confluera

Confluera CxDR Platform is a cloud-native detection and response solution designed to reduce the time to detect and respond to threats in the cloud. According to the vendor, this platform offers real-time attack visibility and helps organizations detect and remediate threats before they cause damage. It is aimed at companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises, and is utilized by cybersecurity professionals, IT administrators, security operations teams, and cloud security teams across various industries including Technology, Finance, Healthcare, Retail, and Manufacturing.

Key Features

Real-time Threat Detection: According to the vendor, Confluera combines behavioral and ML-powered anomaly analysis to detect a broad spectrum of suspicious workload behaviors in real-time. Its Continuous Attack Graph technology is said to continuously connect the dots to surface 'real' threats moving through workloads, eliminating isolated signals.

Run-time Container Security: Confluera is claimed to deliver real-time threat detection and observability for container environments. It combines behavioral detections and anomaly analysis to detect a broad spectrum of container exploits in real-time. The vendor states that Confluera's unique ability to storyboard lateral movements between hosts and containers enables faster interception of run-time threats in container environments.

Multi-Source Threat Integration: According to the vendor, Confluera follows a best-of-breed approach, integrating detections and events from any security tool of choice. It is said to enable high confidence investigations with 360-degree context by integrating threat storyboards from multiple sources.

Incident Response Automation: The vendor claims that Confluera enables rapid incident response with auto-generated recommendations and surgical steps to mitigate attacks. Its Continuous Attack Graph technology is said to help focus on the minimum and most effective set of remediation actions for intercepted threat narratives.

Proactive Threat Hunting: According to the vendor, Confluera combines a real-time petabyte-scale analytics platform with Continuous Attack Graph technology. It is claimed to enable proactive searches for IOC events and significantly reduce investigation time by delivering continuously connected narratives.

Observability and Security Insights: Confluera's observability platform is said to provide continuous visibility into key security indicators and anomalous patterns on server workloads. It covers user activity, runtime behavior, privileged behavior, lateral movements, and network activity, according to the vendor.

Platform Architecture: The vendor states that Confluera has an open architecture that allows seamless integration with existing security tools and infrastructure. They claim that the platform can scale elastically to handle large amounts of data and workloads. Confluera uses lightweight sensors for data collection, minimizing resource consumption. The vendor also claims that the platform can be instantly deployed without disrupting existing workflows. Users can self-register their assets and workloads for monitoring and protection. Confluera supports API-based integrations with various security tools and platforms. It can be deployed as a SaaS solution, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment, according to the vendor.
