This article will explain what tool Cynet is for you in detail. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

In 1999, Bruce Schnell said: "complexity is the greatest enemy of security." It was 19 years ago, but now, cyber security has become more complicated.

Recently, I found such a platform software in the process of surfing the Internet, which seems to have a strong protective ability.

According to the description of Cynet, the platform has a variety of security functions, bringing the network and endpoints together for unified management, while automating and simplifying the work of defenders as much as possible. Cynet aims to bring together the current mainstream technologies and functions through this platform to achieve a variety of requirements such as prevention, detection and response, and make it simple and intuitive, so that people who do not have professional knowledge can use it smoothly.

Deployment mode

Cynet uses a variety of deployment methods, including internal deployment, IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service), SAAS (Software as a Service), and hybrid mode.

At present, there are many security agents that will occupy a lot of resources, reduce system performance and produce false positives and blue screen, while Cynet will make reasonable choices according to the needs of users to avoid similar situations.

The platform maps the entire user network resource architecture after installation, and can scan current assets and resources, including endpoints, users, files, and network traffic within the network. Cynet correlates these contents as a whole for attack detection.

Main interface:

After scanning, you can quickly see all the hosts on the same network:

The program can sort out the entire content of the organizational structure, including networks, applications, asset management and vulnerabilities.

Cynet creates a mapping of the organizational network by connecting different endpoints to the network, and any risk in the network marks the endpoints and highlights:

When the program is installed, there are some recommendations for vulnerability management and system compliance, including the following four areas:

1. Operating system updates: Cynet will check the installed system patches, issue prompts when the system needs to download and install patches, and summarize the installed patches to facilitate user operation and management.

two。 Unauthorized applications: Cynet has a customizable application list blacklist, and alerts will be issued immediately if any unauthorized applications are found.

3. Older applications: Cynet detects and lists whether older and older applications are installed in the system, and issues upgrade reminders.

4. Security policy verification: Cynet checks the endpoints within the network to see if they have installed or run other security agents.

In addition, the platform can also obtain vulnerability management data through "Forensic" and query the corresponding content immediately. And users can search for files, hosts, users and other objects through it. Examples include files called by programs, applications running on each endpoint, and using network visibility to find unauthorized access to applications.

As part of the simplification of the platform, each object in the list is clickable, and all the data is presented in a simple and explicit form on the timeline, including all relevant history and objects:

Cynet can fully record all the data collected.

Protection mechanism

Cynet's defense mechanisms include setting up automatic threat blocking:

For those who are relatively scarce in resources, management can be accomplished through automation. At the same time, the platform can also set focus objects to reasonably choose more threatening protection, and create its own repair rules.

Even if the process is automated, Cynet can still show users what to protect and repair automatically:

There is also a whitelist feature in Cynet to enhance endpoint protection. Can only be allowed to protect important components of the operating system through approved files, processes, and communications.

Characteristics

With regard to the novelty of the Cynet platform, according to its own expression, the key point is "convergence", that is, Cynet not only combines detection, correlation and automation, but also analyzes each endpoint, user, and file in the network separately and makes a corresponding security solution.

In addition to the traditional security performance, the detection functions of Cynet include EDR (Terminal Detection and response), UBA (user behavior Analysis), fraud and network analysis. These functions can make corresponding alerts to all kinds of threats: malicious behavior, extortion software, horizontal rights, brute force cracking, abnormal user login, credential theft and so on. The existence of multiple detection layers ensures the security of the system.

At the same time, Cynet can also prioritize alerts or threats to make them easy to understand and operate: associate all relevant objects to the view of the alert interface, highlighting actionable information and recommendations. This feature gives the software a relatively low barrier to use:

Due to the existence of multi-layer detection mechanism, the probability of false alarm is very low.

Response mechanism

Cynet has a range of robust response and repair capabilities.

Analysis:

If the system is compromised, Cynet can provide a variety of analytical remedies when the attack is not organized or needs further analysis. Specific process:

Send to SOC: send suspicious content to Cynet's security operations team, which will analyze the file for the user.

Send to analysis module: send suspicious files to sandboxie, run them in an isolated environment and generate corresponding reports.

Verify: confirm that the suspicious file still exists in the system.

Get memory string / memory dump: collect memory strings of files running as processes in order to analyze and identify malicious operations in memory.

Move files: move scanned files from within the network to the Cynet server, this option is optional, similar to the improvement plan.

Response:

As a security defense mechanism, Cynet also provides advanced and comprehensive protection mechanisms for hosts, users, files, and networks:

Kill, delete or isolate malicious files

Close the user and execute the appropriate command

Shut down the process or restart the host

Isolate or block network traffic

Automation mechanism:

Cynet has a comprehensive rule creation mechanism, for every security threat to the host, users can create and customize the corresponding automatic repair rules.

At the same time, the platform also has a round-the-clock response mechanism, in view of network security threats, with a variety of forensics, analysis, search services. It can provide all-round protection for users.
