The ability of cyber criminals to sneak past even the most fortified defence systems has intensified the pressure on organisations to develop better threat detection capabilities. In response, Accenture and Endgame have launched a threat hunting as-a-service offering, to identify and remove adversaries that have evaded traditional security methods.

“Today, cyber attackers can circumvent even the most fortified of traditional enterprise defence systems,” said Vikram Desai, managing director, Accenture Analytics. “Rather than building a taller defensive wall, we’re giving our clients the ability to strike first – to stop adversaries before they attack. Delivering this capability requires two fundamental elements: battle tested experience out-manoeuvring enemies and specialised technology that gives you an unfair advantage. With Endgame, this is exactly what our hunting as-a-service offering delivers. Armed with it, our clients spend less time dealing with threats and more time on innovation and growth."

“Attackers are winning far too often,” said Nate Fick, CEO of Endgame. “We need to compress adversary dwell time by vigorously hunting across the enterprise architecture and terminating malicious behaviour before it can get too far. Endgame and Accenture’s joint solution combines state-of-the-art technology with top-notch talent in order to deliver an always on, end-to-end hunt solution that simply outsmarts traditional indicators of compromise (IOC) and signature-based tools.”

The managed offering features continuous endpoint monitoring and reporting for targeted attacks that have bypassed defensive security technologies; the ability to expose and eliminate active and dormant adversaries that have infiltrated networks, followed by a precise response without disrupting normal business operations; and provides an actionable list of vulnerabilities and procedures to remediate and prevent future attacks, reducing the cost and impact of incident response.
