Avoiding Data Breaches with Context Aware Behavioral Analytics threatpost/avoiding-data-breaches-with-context-aware-behavioral-analytics/109679 RESTON, VA – Security, it turns out, is all about layers, where if one layer fails, there are secondary and tertiary and a long line of backup defenses. This is neither new nor revolutionary. It’s why castles had moats, drawbridges and parapets; it’s also why prisons have cells, walls and gates. When you move from the physical to the cyberspace, the idea of a layered approach remains. However, it becomes more complicated and abstract. In a briefing at the Raytheon Cyber Security Summit, Avivah Litan, a vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, listed seven layers of context-aware behavioral analytics. These operate not only as a system of fail-safes but can also be deployed to help IT security teams differentiate between relevant and irrelevant network anomalies, a problem that has been cited in a number of recent breaches.
