About
LightCyber provides a solution designed to identify threats within corporate networks early in the attack lifecycle, facilitating prompt breach remediation and preventing extensive damage caused by malware or hackers. LightCybers Magna puts control back in the hands of the security manager by enabling advanced breach detection. The solution profiles companies internal traffic, differentiating between legitimate and malicious users, and detects any suspicious behavior. Such traffic is then tracked back to the endpoint where, using agentless endpoint analysis and cloud-based threat intelligence, the suspected endpoint is inspected to determine whether it has been breached. LightCyber was named a cool vendor in "Cool Vendors in Security infrastructure Protection, 2014" by the Gartner Research Group.
