Endeca and Cyber Situational Awareness
May 16, 2011
Wow, that’s a fresh spin on eCommerce, database technology and search. “Cyber situational awareness” is a semantic angle from Endeca that is fresher than sentiment analysis or lame old search and retrieval.
Bob Gourley acquaints us with “Endeca’s Cyber Situational Awareness.” Endeca revamped their indexing technology in ’09, and it has several features to crow about. However, the most interesting to us is it’s “Cyber Situational Awareness. The article asserts:
Many streams of data constantly pour into the [Security Operations Center]: log analysis, incident reports, network analysis, threat intelligence, and more. When a significant incident occurs, the urgent question is not only ‘how do we handle the incident’ but ‘what’s the impact to current missions and readiness?’ Endeca lets the SOC answer that question with search/discovery tools, by interactively tracing the dependency relationships that start with the compromised asset or exfiltrated data. All the key data is ingested into a common operating picture, inside which analysts can search, drill and pivot through lists and visualizations of each cyber data source.
Now that’s how to go beyond search: probe cyber situational awareness. It will be interesting to see where this leads. I wonder if there will be a YouTube.com series called CSA with intrepid search experts cracking tough problems with next generation technology?
