About GuardTower

GuardTower is a multi-layer detection, deception, and proactive AI-based platform solution. It is a network cybersecurity threat detection tool that leverages AI Decoys to attract and analyze malicious activity, AI Strongpoint, and Strikeforce for policy and proactive alerts. Here's a comparison with other threat detection methods:

GuardTower:

  • Proactive approach: Detects threats before they can cause damage by attracting and analyzing malicious activity.
  • Deep dive into attacker behavior: Provides detailed insights into attacker techniques, motivations, and potential targets. Uses AI to detect patterns across the infrastructure to predict other incursions.
  • The multi-level OSI approach uses AI Decoys, detection, and deterrence as a unified set of tools that lure attackers, revealing their tactics and techniques without exposing critical assets.
  • Integration with other security tools: GuardTower is focused on ‘unknown’ threats and can be integrated with other security solutions for a comprehensive 360-degree threat detection and response strategy.

Other Cybersecurity Threat Detection Methods – focused on ‘known’ threats

  • Firewall: Monitors network traffic and blocks unauthorized access.
  • Intrusion Detection System (IDS): Analyzes network traffic for suspicious activity and raises alerts.
  • Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP): Protects individual devices from malware and other threats.
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Collects and analyzes security data from various sources to identify threats.

Key Differences

  • Proactive vs. Reactive: GuardTower actively seeks out threats, while other methods are often reactive, responding to detected incidents.
  • Focus: GuardTower focuses on understanding attacker behavior, while other methods may prioritize blocking attacks or detecting specific threats.
  • Depth of Analysis: GuardTower provides a deep dive into attacker techniques, while other methods may offer more general alerts.
Depth of Network Analysis: GuardTower employs Digital Twin technology for network simulation, further enhancing testing, proactive analysis, and threat-hunting prowess.

Depth of Integration: GuardTower sends alerts in various formats to your SIEM or other tools focused on ‘known’ threats, improving return on investment, with an easy-to-deploy platform for any size network.

GuardTower offers a unique approach to threat detection by using AI Decoys to attract and analyze malicious activity proactively, Digital Twin and Generative AI enhance detection after a breach but before an impact, and predictive analysis to ongoing Machine Learning for future incursions. GuardTower provides valuable insights on attacker behavior to help organizations improve their security posture. GuardTower is used with your existing security measures to create a comprehensive threat detection and response strategy without costly licensing.

The GuardTower cybersecurity solution is unique in its simplicity while delivering powerful results. This also means that we engage with your network differently than most cybersecurity tools. GuardTower not only analyzes data but based on the setup, can become part of your network in the form of decoys or separately review all packet data crossing all virtual networks, sending alarms in real-time. Possible network integration options include WAN, LAN (ghost network), and multi-decoy.
