Auguria announced its official entry into the cybersecurity AI space with seed round funding from SYN Ventures and SentinelOne's S Ventures. Auguria transforms traditional security operations by encoding generations of hard-earned human security experience into artificial intelligence (AI) models that can cut through oceans of multi-vendor event data. Promote.
Ladera Ranch, California, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — After more than two years of software platform development, Auguria, Inc., a cybersecurity artificial intelligence company, is pleased to announce that it is coming out of stealth mode. With initial investment from SYN Ventures Seed Fund, Auguria uses the industry's first vector-based cybersecurity platform for integrating, transforming, and analyzing security operational data to align with human and her AI consumption. By optimizing data and driving the transformation of traditional security operations. Auguria's Security Knowledge Layer™ or Auguria SKL™ leverages the latest developments in AI automation technology to transform, classify, and prioritize massively parallel streams of events, logs, and telemetry generated by technology security infrastructures. I'll attach it.
Cybersecurity AI provider Auguria has emerged from stealth to solve the problem of security operational data overload and cost.
“Companies around the world struggle with the weight of millions to billions of security events caused by their infrastructure. “Often, this is because the meaningful cues these systems generate are difficult to isolate and interpret.” Dan Burns, Augria Director and Chair of SYN Ventures Seed Fund. Barnes should know. As his CEO and co-founder of Optiv, which he founded in 2015 by merging Accuvant and Fishnet Security, he continues to be a trusted advisor to thousands of companies in this very situation. . Burns added: “SYN is being pitched by multiple companies every week, especially AI-based ideas, but what stood out to Auguria is data overload, situational awareness, and the cost of data storage as well.”
Auguria ushered in a new era of cybersecurity, where AI understands and automatically adapts to each organization's unique needs. Auguria SKL created the foundation for his AI-driven SecOps, acting as a connection layer between the SIEM and data lakes, rich security data sources such as XDR, and language models such as the co-pilot and his AI assistant. Masu. Augria is unlocking the potential of human-machine teaming in security operations to finally solve the critical challenge of data overload.
ryan palme, Board Observer, Operating Partner and Investor at SYN Ventures, commented on the attractiveness of this investment. “Organizations often find themselves at a disadvantage as adversaries attack persistently. One mitigation strategy is for staff to monitor all telemetry in hopes of stopping malicious activity before it can cause any damage. It’s sending them to expensive SIEM analytics platforms, which aren’t working very well.” That’s okay, because the amount of data that requires human interpretation and analysis is stratospheric. ” Permeh, a former chief scientist at McAfee and co-founder of Cylance, acknowledges that something needs to change. “Auguria shows how to remove 99% of the noise from event data so that SecOps teams can focus with greater confidence and ensure that the remaining 1% is actually interesting and actionable. The company's SKL platform is highly effective at uncovering what was previously unknown in an environment that is the holy grail for threat hunters.”
SentinelOne's S Ventures is also a seed round investor in Augria. shlomi salemS Venture's CTO, said, “Amidst the deluge of data, a significant challenge has emerged: distinguishing data related to genuine threats from a plethora of benign noise. This task is not only complex; , is critical to effective threat detection and response. As a result, many organizations are prudent in attempting to retain all the data they collect. However, this approach significantly increases SIEM costs. “Practical strategies for mitigating these rapidly increasing SIEM costs include carefully identifying and removing redundant and repetitive data and then identifying it for immediate or long-term investigation.” This includes strategically categorizing the remaining data based on gender.''
chris coulter“A big challenge facing security teams today is too much data and too little time,” said Auguria's CTO and co-founder. “Analytical tools are not keeping up with increasingly complex data. .As a result, security teams often do all kinds of development.” “There are a lot of high-touch manual workarounds and reuse tools that are usually designed for other purposes. Every security team I talk to says the same thing. They want a specifically tailored, modern data analytics solution. This is exactly why we started Auguria. Our methodology is streamlined and the process from data ingestion to analysis to enrichment and prioritization is streamlined. By automating everything, analysts can move directly to incident response steps without having to spend countless hours sorting, filtering, and triaging billions of data points. I’m excited about the attention it’s getting.”
The benefits of AI automation for SecOps teams are numerous. When processed through Auguria SKL, the data is “denoised.” In other words, AI processes the data and determines what is “normal” and therefore risk-free. The data that remains is, as the saying goes, a needle in a haystack. By accurately categorizing and setting aside all that is normal, you focus on previously unknown tactics and techniques that your enemy is constantly repeating. All of this is mapped into a visual ontology to provide even better context. Customers can also send Auguria SKL-enriched data back to the analytics platform, so questions like “Show me everything related to your accounting network that makes Auguria think an event is anomalous” can be returned. Masu.
keith palumbosaid CEO and co-founder of Augria. “We are thrilled to have the trust of our investors SYN Ventures and S Ventures to bring this new technology to market. Feed your analysts actionable, prioritized data that they can take action on, while giving you the option to repurpose mundane, uncontroversial events into inexpensive storage. This helps accelerate and modernize your SIEM operations. . ”
