Working from M4 Cyber Threat Labs, our experienced team consists of security analysts, threat intelligence experts, data scientists and threat hunters. Together we will deploy and run the M4 Cyber Threat Hunting Platform remotely via the cloud, to protect your enterprise.

You’ll receive:
Threat analysis- Mantix4 starts by installing intelligent network sensors directly to the customers’ network. These bi-directional sensors track, record and assess key network activities and behaviors. After a 24-hour network evaluation period, customers receive a complete network analysis that highlights threat activity and outlines tactical and strategic threat remediation plans. This in-depth threat analysis program can be repeated weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.

Continuous surveillance- With the M4 sustained threat hunting service, the M4 anti-cyber attack team continuously monitors the network using vulnerability scanning, deep packet inspection, analysis of network traffic and endpoint memory scanning techniques.
Damage control and effective remediation plans– If a vulnerability is detected, our analysts will investigate the potential impacts and root cause of the incident and determine a direct threat remediation plan, assigning responsibilities and counter maneuvers targeted at individuals or specific malware code. We also minimize damage and improve communication, accountability and executive awareness.

Communication and coaching- The M4 anti-cyber- attack team knows the ins and outs of the cyber security environment. We will translate tech-speak to provide real-world valuable insights that will protect data and neutralize cyber threats.

Sustained improvement- We are continuously innovating and adapting to new attacker tactics, techniques and procedures. We study malware developments and movements and use algorithms to track long-term trends. By collecting data about interactions and behaviors of threats and feeding that data back into the M4 Cyber Threat Hunting Platform, it becomes smarter and generates more effective threat intelligence for more productive future hunts.

Gartner’s 5 Characteristics of an
Intelligence-Driven Security Operations Center

Gartner estimates less than 10% of existing SOCs possess two or more
intelligence-driven characteristics.

Use Multi-source Threat Intelligence Strategically and Tactically

Traditional threat intelligence approaches depend on prior knowledge of a threat. This approach loses the rich context needed to improve an organization’s security posture. Mantix4 takes a strategic approach, providing automated response capability with its ability to visualize and provide context and clarity to the significance of each event. Mantix4’s unique, patent-pending methodology is real-time, constantly and perpetually absorbing dozens of external and internally generated structured and unstructured threat intelligence data from Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), industry (Computer Emergency Response Teams [CERTs] and Information Sharing and Analysis Centers [ISACs]), closed (aka your organization) and commercial threat intelligence provider sources. Through continued evolution and innovation, Mantix4 brings threat dwell times from a US cross-industry average of 99 days* to just minutes, in on premise or cloud networks. Mantix4 Cyber Intelligence Platform and Intelligent sensors are compatible with other mainstream vendors, and is designed to detect and respond to advanced threats that evade other security products.

Use Advanced Analytics to Operationalize Security Intelligence

Gartner defines “advanced analytics” as the analysis of all kinds of data using sophisticated quantitative methods (such as statistics, machine learning, descriptive and predictive data mining, simulation and optimization) to produce insights that traditional approaches to intelligence, such as query and reporting, are unlikely to discover. Mantix4’s patent-pending algorithms capture additional cyber intelligence combined with vulnerability scanning and behavioral analytics.  This powerful tool delivers real time analytics with unparalleled visibility and degree of known and unknown threats. The result? Mantix4 provides High Fidelity actionable intelligence, finally reducing the noise of incessant logs and alerts.

Automate Whatever and Whenever it is Feasible

No matter the size of an organization, creating a SOC is an expensive and personnel intensive endeavor, rotating eight to ten people on a 24/7 basis. Speed and accuracy are critical factors in detecting known and unknown threats. This requires continuous training and lightning-fast response times. Mantix4’s High Fidelity, Proactive and Automated Security Orchestration approach lets you reduce resource draining tactics on your security team by automating threat responses to the degrees of threat to your organization. Mantix4’s real-time threat intelligence integration insures you can separate benign threats from severe and urgent threats. Adapt, semi-automate or automate your responses by division, by department, by asset, based on configurations that are response-centric. You can now take command and control back from the basement-dwelling threat actors and nation states that used to keep you up at night.

Deploy an Adaptive Security Architecture

According to Gartner, an Intelligence-Driven Security Operations Center* is designed to control a complex ecosystem and threat environment that changes and evolves rapidly continuously.  An ISOC evolves with the environment and threatscape, adapting to new challenges and objectives. In addition, an ISOC must provide the agility that is needed to detect and respond to advanced threats, and provides a feedback loop for adaption and evolution. Mantix4 is the new dimension in adaptive security and we address Layers 2 through 7 – seeing not just one threat vector but seeing everything in real-time, allowing your ISOC to evolve into proactive, and even predictive, security posture. Let’s engage in a fresh conversation. ISOCs are a lean-forward approach designed to know where the puck is going. The feedback loop referenced above forces “the hunt”.

Forensic State Analytics

Forensic State Analytics (FSA) presumes a network is already compromised. This unique and powerful approach utilized by our preferred solution for post breach detection, Infocyte HUNT, minimizes risk and eliminates malware and threat dwell times. The simple to use interface  enables an organization’s security team to become proactive by hunting active and dormant persistent threats, malware and suspicious code. Compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems and applications, Infocyte HUNT is lightning fast and does not require forensics specialists, additional equipment or endpoint software. Threats are identified and scored for immediate resolution. Infocyte HUNT allows an organization to validate the devices coming on the network and spot those exhibiting deviant behavior thereby providing a compelling solution to thwarting both known and unknown attacks. Mantix4 is an authorized Infocyte HUNT Reseller.

Hunt and Investigate

Mantix4’s innovative Cyber Threat Hunting changes the rules of asymmetrical warfare, employing white hat deception (e.g., canaries and honeypots) while exposing and eliminating threat actors in your network before they detonate. Finally, you can achieve proactive threat-hunting that does not rely on signature or rule-based detection mechanisms.
