Lockheed Martin enters into partnership with Interset for insider threat detection solution

Lockheed Martin entered into a partnership with Interset’s insider threat detection solution on Monday.

The decision was announced at the 2016 Gartner Risk and Security Summit conference in National Harbor, MD.

“Insider threats pose one of the highest risks to an organization, and thefts by malicious insiders are projected to double by 2017, approaching half a trillion dollars annually,” Angie Heise, vice president of commercial cyber at Lockheed Martin, said. “Today, we are proud to announce a key partner for our insider threat detection solution, Interset Software. Interset’s unique, market-proven approach to User Behavioral Analytics (UBA) complements our Wisdom Insider Threat Identification’s (ITI’s) award-winning capabilities. Interset’s depth in the UBA market and big data approach to detecting insider threats makes them an ideal fit for Lockheed Martin.”

The ITI platform utilizes machine learning, patented predictive analysis and risk-based scoring to automate the process of analyzing terabytes of events to detect inside threats. Interset’s user interface details insider attacks in context, which visually depicts threats in stages while calculating risks as they unfold.

“Lockheed Martin has built the definitive, proactive solution to combat insider threats, which remain the most common type of attack on sensitive data,” Dale Quayle, CEO at Interset, said. Combining Lockheed Martin’s Wisdom ITI solution and Interset’s UBA platform gives customers unprecedented ability to correlate human behavior and IT systems behavior, to offer a complete insider risk picture across employees, consultants and contractors. Investigators can accurately gather contextual data, surface the threat and quickly react to high-risk incidents.”
