Niara to Showcase Behavioral Analytics Platform at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2016


NATIONAL HARBOR, MD--(Marketwired - Jun 8, 2016) - Niara, a provider of behavioral analytics for attack detection and incident response, today announced that it will be demoing its platform at booth 1210 at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, MD from June 13-16, 2016.

Insider threats, including negligent employees, compromised users and malicious insiders, are all increasingly difficult to detect as cybercriminals are more commonly employing advanced attack techniques that evade signature- and rule-based security systems.

Niara's behavioral analytics platform leverages data from any data source within the network and security infrastructure, applying unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms, statistical modeling and other analytics techniques to unearth security events that get past traditional solutions. Comprehensive user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) modules create highly accurate behavior profiles for users and hosts, all working in unison to build entity risk profiles that identify anomalies and chain them together to pinpoint malicious activity. Niara combines the results of its analytics modules with layered forensics to provide an integrated platform that does not require analysts to pivot across multiple systems, focusing security teams on the threats that matter.

Niara was recently named to the Big 50-2016 report by the Startup50. Finalists were selected based on a variety of factors, including funding, customers, market opportunity, positioning within the market, key differentiators and the strength of its competition. Niara was selected as a top 50 startup from more than 210 startups.
