AThENA (Advanced THreat and Event aNomaly Alerting)

Event management and security information market is defined by organizations’ needs to apply Real Time Data and System Security Measures, to detect security breaches early, to collect and aggregate data and to report on log files. All these can be used in internal investigations or compliance audits.

Evolution security challenges

• Cyberspace Environment has become increasingly more complex by the fact that users are becoming increasingly mobile and more services are published to the Internet or in the cloud, thus growing diversity and number of sources of data to be analyzed;
• The number of attacks that are going to establish a bridgehead in the organization persistently have increased, also on the increasing number of platforms connected to resources,
• Most current monitoring solutions uses static models such limits, blacklists / whitelists, etc.

A new approach is needed to keep up with the significantly increase if the number of security devices. Therefore, we present a new product developed by our team, AThENA.

AThENA overview

Leveraging Open Source technologies like NoSQL, Stream Processing and Hadoop we have successfully build a Big Data Security Analytics system that combines data from multiple sources and does complex, real-time correlations between all of them.

All components that were used are highly clustered for both high performance and high availability, enabling the use of commodity hardware.

The Big Data Security Analytics creates a platform where detection is not based on signatures or static correlation rules but on dynamic comparisons to normal baseline behaviors for individuals or groups. Behavior outside the normal baseline determines suspicious activities that may indicate attacker activity.
