Targeted attacks represent one of the most dangerous threats to enterprise security today. Yet they are often hidden from view under a mountain of alerts generated by security systems, giving attackers time to gain access to systems and seize valuable data. Symantec’s new Targeted Attack Analytics (TAA) technology leverages advanced machine learning to automate the discovery of targeted attacks, identifying truly targeted activity and prioritizing it in the form of a highly reliable incident report. TAA, which is the result of an internal joint-effort between Symantec’s Attack Investigation Team and a team of Symantec’s top security data scientists on the leading edge of machine learning research, analyzes a broad range of data from one of the largest threat data lakes in the world to automate targeted threat detection.
