Identity-driven detection and response startup ClearVector aims to shift the cybersecurity paradigm from traditional threat detection to identity activity. The company’s platform emphasizes real-time detection and isolation of threats by monitoring identity behaviors across various environments. The platform seeks to address issues with traditional security approaches that fail despite billions invested in security tools each year. ClearVector argues that enterprises continue to be compromised at an alarming rate and are overwhelmed by excessive alerts from siloed security solutions that lack critical context on how the organization operates. Added to the mix are increasing rates of identity-based attacks that traditional defenses struggle to deal with. ClearVector says it shifts the security paradigm from chasing threats to understanding and controlling identity activity across production environments. ClearVector’s platform utilizes identity graph technology that maps and monitors the behaviors of all identities — human, machine, third-party and artificial intelligence — within an organization’s production environment. Using the platform’s real-time threat detection and mitigation system, security teams can instantly investigate and respond to threats using a “Big Red Button” function that stops attacks with a single click. Combined with identity-aware investigations, defenders can act with speed and precision without the need to sift through vast amounts of log data.
