ThreatDefence, the only Australian vendor that offers innovative managed detection response (MDP) service and security operations centre (SOC) as-a-service, has been able to create a breakthrough AI they believe can address the shortage of skilled labourers in the cybersecurity industry.
Working with multiple universities and companies in Australia allowed ThreatDefence to be part of several cyber skill development projects globally. Recently, it has created a SecOps (security operations) platform that may address the shortage of skilled workers in the field of cybersecurity. SecOps is a platform where IT security and operations teams collaborate to reduce enterprise risk.
According to tech reporters, “ThreatDefence’s SecOps platform has already been deployed in multiple locations around the world, and it has been used to serve hundreds of customers worldwide,” in connection to the company’s mission of enabling businesses to be more resilient against cyber threats. The platform offers users complete access to their security data and services like affordable security detection and response frameworks.
The company prides itself on its vision “to continue building our SecOps AI to become a fully functioning SOC team member, taking over most analyst actions, and providing hand-in-hand assistance to senior analysts.” The platform, dubbed Avesa, contains a new AI model designed to help SOC analysts “quickly investigate anomalies picked up by security tools. It also provides insights and step-by-step guidance for handling alerts, incidents, and investigations.”
Designers of AI wanted to reduce the time analysts spend investigating possible cyber security threats. Avesa is expected to assist analysts by communicating the guidance they may find helpful as they manage a perceived threat in natural language. The AI is loaded with data from hundreds of cyber attack information gained from ThreatDefence team members and can also learn from the actions analysts take as they manage a threat.
ThreatDefence added that “It has always been our vision that human analysts and AI should work hand in hand together when AI can be responsible for many day-to-day tasks such as running ongoing investigations, review of alerts, and detection of anomalies,” allowing its users to be more efficient with their time and effectively addressing the country’s shortage of skilled professionals in the field.
