Collective defense is a proactive, collaborative approach to cybersecurity that involves organizations working together within and across sectors to defend against targeted cyber threats. By sharing correlated threat behaviors across the ecosystem, participating organizations can mutually aid in the detection, remediation, and mitigation of cyber threats to individual enterprises, business ecosystems, industry sectors, states, and nations.
Discover how organizations can solve even their most complex cyber challenges.
Maj Gen (Ret) Williams will outline the imperative for taking a collective defense approach to defend companies, sectors and nations against today’s advanced nation-state and criminal attackers. He will provide a strategic view of the threat and how it impacts not only critical infrastructure, but nearly every sector of the international business community. General Williams will lay out the case for all of us to take a collective view of defense. We cannot continue to defend alone, we must work together, the adversaries certainly do. Finally, he will describe how today’s cyber defenses typically fail and discuss how we can apply artificial intelligence, machine learning and behavioral detection to more effectively detect and respond to attacks.
Founded in 2014 by GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander, IronNet Cybersecurity is a global cybersecurity leader that is revolutionizing how organizations secure their networks by delivering the first-ever Collective Defense platform operating at scale. Employing an extraordinarily high percentage of former NSA cybersecurity operators with offensive and defensive cyber experience, IronNet integrates deep tradecraft knowledge into its industry-leading products to solve the most challenging cyber problems facing the world today.
IronNet’s unique and innovative Collective Defense functionality, called IronDome, allows organizations of all sizes to share behavioral threat data anonymously, at network speed, to increase visibility of incoming cyber attacks. Combined with higher-order behavioral analytics, Collective Defense allows customers to leverage a wider pool of cybersecurity expertise and threat visibility to detect and respond to sophisticated threats.
At the heart of IronNet’s threat detection capabilities is IronDefense, IronNet’s NTA platform, which delivers largely scalable behavioral analysis and integrated packet-level cyber hunting capabilities. The solution leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to detect advanced threats often missed by existing commercial cybersecurity solutions.
