With full visibility, the promise is that even if an attack got through the prevention layer, it could be discovered by a threat hunting team.Īs opposed to the CylancePROTECT product which provides defences against threats, CylanceOPTICS provides visibility by showing metadata from a a system endpoint that when analyzed may reveal indications that it has been compromised. The premise is that with good prevention technology up front, an organization can reduce the amount of noise and threats. ![]() Kashyap said that the goal with CylanceOPTICS is to provide an additional layer of instrumentation on top of its prevention technology. “Everybody knows that there is no silver bullet for security and there is no prevention technology that can be 100 percent effective.” “While CylancePROTECT is a leader in the prevention space, CylanceOPTICS was designed to provide a threat hunting and visibility piece for enterprises,” Rahul Kashyap, Senior Vice-President and Chief Product Officer at Cylance, told eWEEK. Cylance was founded in 2012 and has raised $177 million in venture funding to date, including a $42 million round in July 2015. The CylanceOPTICS technology complements the company’s flagship CylancePROTECT endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform. Privately-held security vendor Cylance Inc announced an expansion of its’ security portfolio on May 24 with the launch of CylanceOPTICS, which provides threat hunting functionality.
