The latest artificial intelligence (AI) enhancements from Panoptica will help customers build a complete Cloud Native Application Protection solution. Outshift, Cisco’s division, has reaffirmed its commitment to cloud application security and AI capabilities within its product Panoptica, solidifying its position in delivering industry-leading solutions. Looking towards the future, AI will be at the forefront of new features and functions of Panoptica, ensuring that customers’ growing application security needs are met, enabling them to navigate the complex threat landscape and stay one step ahead of attackers.
During the RSA Conference 2024, Outshift announced innovations such as Smart Cloud Detection & Response (CDR), GenAI Dynamic Remediation, and Security Graph Query. These improvements demonstrate Outshift’s investment in building a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) ready to help customers in their journey towards cloud security adoption.
Comprehensive Visibility with Smart Cloud Detection & Response (CDR)
The CNAPP offers complete visibility of cloud environments, enriched with specific context and activity correlation. Smart CDR extends capabilities with threat intelligence and predictive analysis powered by AI, integrating cloud security data with broader protections.
With Smart CDR, security teams gain an advantage in detecting attacks by continuously monitoring security events and correlating them with information to provide an effective response. Based on internal research with generative AI, Smart CDR provides forensic information about the attack. Each malicious actor has a purpose, and Smart CDR’s function is to help describe the entire story of the attack.
In addition to real-time threat detection, Smart CDR immediately alerts security teams and creates synthetic attack simulations to train machine learning models to identify attacks such as ransomware, data exfiltration, cryptojacking, container escape, and data destruction. Smart CDR also reduces overall noise so teams can focus on real issues.
GenAI Dynamic Remediation Accelerates with ChatGPT-4
Panoptica’s GenAI Dynamic Remediation offers personalized solutions based on the risk analysis engine of Attack Path Analysis, providing step-by-step instructions to apply controls through CLI, code snippets, and Terraform, tailored to the characteristics of each attack path.
By integrating GPT-4 with its graphic engine, Panoptica provides detailed and customized solutions for each detected attack path, including recommendations for critical points such as network exposure, at-risk workloads, and identity exposure. This significantly reduces response time by offering code examples that directly address the problem. Thanks to generative AI, key features have been added to Attack Path Analysis:
– Interpretation of attack paths using topological structure and security enrichment details such as network exposure and vulnerabilities.
– Contextual analysis provided by identified associated risks by the graphic engine.
– Four types of remediation: web console guidelines, CLI commands, Python SDK code snippets, and Terraform snippets for different preferences.
– Advanced data privacy measures, with preprocessing that masks sensitive information and post-processing that reintroduces specific customer details.
Security Graph Query Optimizes Policy Management
Panoptica’s Security Graph Query feature enhances the platform by integrating it with the policy engine, allowing users to create, manage, and apply security policies directly from the Security Graph Query Builder and Query Library. It offers a comprehensive search and visualization tool that aggregates data from multiple cloud providers, code repositories, APIs, SaaS applications, and Kubernetes clusters.
The goal is to optimize policy creation, improve security compliance, and make management more efficient and data-driven. Some use cases include proactive threat hunting, contextual analysis, visualizations for non-technical stakeholders, resource optimization, compliance, and reporting.
With these innovations, Outshift demonstrates its commitment to cloud security and artificial intelligence, laying the groundwork for an advanced security ecosystem in 2024.
