Many of today’s sophisticated hackers leverage techniques that run in memory only -- such as fileless malware, rootkits and process hollowing -- which leave no traces when data logs and host information are analyzed. If security teams aren’t able to capture evidence in memory, these attacks are extremely challenging to investigate. The Cado Response platform empowers security teams to investigate such attacks by automating memory capture and processing as soon as malicious activity is detected. Further, the Cado Response platform allows forensics experts to analyze memory alongside other critical data sources including disk information and cloud logs in a single pane of glass so they can easily grasp the full extent of what happened.

Key Points: 
  • With Memory Forensics, security teams gain enhanced visibility and context to identify the root cause of incidents and respond to data breaches faster.
  • By incorporating memory acquisition and processing capabilities directly in our Cado Response platform, security experts gain additional context and visibility into an attackers activities, further empowering them to investigate and respond to breaches at cloud speed.
  • The Cado approach provides security teams with 100% of the data and information they need to respond to breaches faster.
  • By automating data capture and processing across cloud and container environments, Cado Response enables security teams to effectively investigate and respond to cyber incidents at cloud speed.
