New solution scans remote endpoints to identify malicious
activity and helps businesses plan next steps
Magnet Forensics (TSX: MAGT), a developer of digital
investigation solutions for more than 4,000 enterprises and public
safety organizations in over 90 countries, today announced the
launch of Magnet IGNITE, a cloud-based triage solution enabling
businesses to perform rapid, remote scans of target endpoints for
malicious and insider activity.
Magnet IGNITE can triage multiple remote endpoints at once to
provide digital forensic and incident response teams with an early
case assessment that will guide the next steps of their
investigations into cyber threats. By quickly gathering
intelligence and assessing a potential ransomware attack or an
insider’s exfiltration of intellectual property, Magnet IGNITE
helps enterprises understand where and when they need to deploy
full forensic analyses.
“Our digital forensics and incident response teams have used
Magnet IGNITE since its inception to get fast results, across a
multitude of systems, that eliminate the need for extraneous
deep-dive forensics,” said Ted Joffs, national incident response
manager of Fortis by Sentinel Technologies. “In our investigations
tied to ransomware activity, Magnet IGNITE has consistently
generated results that identify indicators of compromise and threat
actor activity within minutes. If we’re recovering data from 100
systems and Magnet IGNITE quickly identifies that only two of them
require a full forensic analysis, we’re able to save hours of
response time.”
Cybercriminals may only require minutes to successfully carry
out a data breach, but security teams require an average of 69 days
to contain them, according to IBM and the Ponemon Institute. The
longer they take to identify and respond to a data breach, the
greater the damage will be.
“During testing, we immediately saw the value that Magnet IGNITE
brings to data breach investigations,” said Michael Nelson, the
managing partner of CYBIR and former president of the Delaware
Valley chapter of the High Technology Crime Investigation
Association. “Data breaches can happen anywhere in the world and
one of the most powerful features of Magnet IGNITE is that it
allows us to investigate how they happened, actions the threat
actors took and what data was exfiltrated, from any remote
location. Our customers need these answers as quickly as possible
to minimize business interruption and Magnet IGNITE has enabled us
to provide them hours — and sometimes days — earlier.”
Full digital forensic analyses are a staple of post-incident
strategies, but they can also take dozens or even hundreds of hours
to complete on multiple endpoints. Security teams cannot afford to
waste time and resources by running full forensic analyses on
multiple endpoints that haven’t been impacted by an attack. Small
and medium sized businesses, meanwhile, often do not have internal
digital forensics capabilities or the resources to hire a third
party to investigate every potential threat. Both require the means
to quickly verify malicious activity and to narrow the focus of
their investigations.
“When enterprises suffer cyber attacks, it is imperative that
they react both quickly and efficiently to minimize down time and
the monetary and reputational damages that come with it,” said Adam
Belsher, chief executive officer at Magnet Forensics. “Magnet
IGNITE is a strategic first-step for enterprises to turn to in
their post-incident plans that can provide a quick and early
assessment to pinpoint the systems involved with malicious or
insider activity. With this information in hand, security teams can
save time and resources by only performing full forensic analyses
on impacted endpoints.”
Magnet IGNITE is the first solution to graduate from the Magnet
Idea Lab, an incubator made up of a sizeable community of beta
testers that help the company develop the next generation of
digital forensics technology. Since March 2021, 263 users tested
Magnet IGNITE. The group included professional service providers
and Fortune 500 companies in the telecommunications, healthcare and
technology sectors.
With Magnet IGNITE, enterprises can:
- Perform rapid and remote triaging of endpoints from anywhere,
at any time with the cloud
- Scan internet history, cloud storage, USB connection history,
installed apps, memory and other volatile data and recently
accessed files and folders for malicious or insider activity
- Accelerate response to cyber attacks by triaging multiple
remote endpoints at once
- Share findings with internal and external stakeholders using
easy-to-use built-in web review tool
- Export findings to Magnet AXIOM Cyber to begin full forensic
analysis of endpoints
