LMNTRIX Active Defense vs Morphisec comparison

LMNTRIX has reimagined cybersecurity, turning the tables in favor of the defenders once again. We have cut out the bloat of SIEM, log analysis, false positives and associated alert fatigue and we created new methods for confounding even the most advanced attackers. We combine deep expertise with cutting-edge technology, leading intelligence, and advanced analytics to detect and investigate threats with great speed, accuracy, and focus. We believe that in a time of continuous compromise you need continuous response – not incident response. Our approach turns inward and assumes that you’re already breached and that you’re continually going to be breached, so we take a pro-active, offensive, hunting, adversarial pursuit stance as opposed to a reactive, defensive, legacy stance with analysts staring at a SIEM console wishing they could detect an APT.

LMNTRIX Active Defense is a best in class Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service that detects and responds to advanced threats that bypass perimeter controls. The outcomes we deliver clients are validated breaches that are investigated, contained and remediated. All incidents are aligned to the kill chain and Mitre ATT&CK frameworks and contain detailed investigative actions and recommendations that your organisation follows to protect against the unknown, insider threat and malicious attacker.

We are a partner which becomes an extension of your internal team, can augment your MSSP, or be a full-service SOC as a service security solution.

Active Defense is made up of 3 elements:

LMNTRIX GRID (XDR) – This is our cyber defence SaaS platform that provides a new utility model for enterprise security, delivering pervasive visibility, automated threat detection & prevention, threat hunting, investigation, validation and unlimited forensic exploration on-demand and entirely from the cloud. It is a single investigative platform for insights into threats on enterprise, cloud, hybrid, and industrial control systems (ICS) networks. The LMNTRIX Grid delivers unique advantages over current network security solutions. It is a holistic and multi-vector platform with unlimited retention window of full-fidelity network traffic, innovative security visualizations, and the ease and cost-savings of an on-demand deployment model.

LMNTRIX Technology Stack –This is our powerful proprietary threat detection stack that is deployed onsite, behind existing controls. It’s made up of network sensors, endpoint agents and deceptions everywhere. It combines multiple threat detection systems, with deception everywhere, machine learning, threat intel, correlation, static file analysis, heuristics, and behavior and anomaly detection techniques to find threats in real-time. It decreases alarm fatigue by automatically determining which alerts should be elevated to security events, and reduces false positives by requiring consensus across detection.

LMNTRIX Cyber Defense Centers - While these technologies are without peer, what sets us apart from the pack is our team of cybersecurity professionals who continually monitor our clients environments 24x7 while simultaneously hunting threats internally as well as monitoring developments on the deep and dark web. Our CDC's are a global network of cyber defense centers with highly trained and certified intrusion analysts who provide constant vigilance and on-demand analysis of your networks. Our intrusion analysts monitor your networks and endpoints 24x7, applying the latest intelligence and proprietary methodologies to look for signs of compromise. When a potential compromise is detected, the team performs an in- depth analysis on affected systems to confirm the breach. When data theft or lateral movement is imminent, our automated perimeter containment blocks attackers in their tracks while endpoint containment feature makes immediate reaction possible by quarantining affected hosts, whether they are on or off your corporate network, significantly reducing or eliminating the consequences of a breach.

Morphisec's cybersecurity platform is centered around its Moving Target Defense technology. This innovative approach is designed to prevent attacks by making the system environment dynamically unpredictable to attackers, thereby neutralizing zero-day threats, evasive malware, and in-memory exploits without requiring prior knowledge of attack patterns. Unlike traditional security systems that rely on detection and response strategies, Morphisec operates on the principle of attack prevention, reducing the system's attack surface and minimizing security operation efforts.

Morphisec provides cybersecurity defense solutions that protect against advanced threats through proactive and predictive security measures. Key features include Moving Target Defense, which Constantly changes system memory and application structures, making them hard to target. Also, Morphisec enables threat-hunting and visibility by providing detailed forensic data on blocked attacks, enabling advanced threat-hunting capabilities.

Morphisec’s key capabilities include:

• Anti-ransomware: Advanced ransomware protection leveraging dedicated AMTD mechanisms for safeguarding against ransomware attacks, from early attack stages to the impact/encryption phase.
• Credential theft protection: Advanced credential theft protection leveraging AMTD for safeguarding against Infostealer/credential stealing attacks
• Enhanced cyber-resilience: Implementing AMTD to efficiently mitigate the costs associated with recovery from advanced, previously unknown evasive threats, thereby bolstering overall cyber defense strategy.
• Prevention-first security: Prevents threats without prior knowledge: signatures, behavioral patterns, or indicators of attacks (IoAs).
• Operational efficiency: Providing simple installation with negligible performance impact and no additional staffing requirements. 
• Lower IT and security costs: Significantly reducing security analyst alert triage time and costs due to early prevention, exact threat classification and prioritization of high-risk alerts.
• Risk-based vulnerability prioritization for exposure management: Empowering organizations with continuous business context and risk-driven remediation recommendations, enabling effective prioritization of patching processes and reduced exposure with patchless protection, powered by AMTD.  
• Flexible deployment: Offering a SaaS-based, multi-tenant and API-driven platform. 
• Incident Response Services: The Morphisec Incident Response Team works collaboratively with client organizations to triage critical security incidents and conduct forensic analysis to solve immediate cyberattacks as well as provide recommendations for reducing the organization's risk exposure. Morphisec's team helps to identify and resolve unknown threats to get organizations' networks restored quickly.

Morphisec is particularly effective in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where highly sensitive data is often targeted. Its ability to provide robust protection without the need for extensive updates makes it suitable for environments where system stability and uptime are critical.

In summary, Morphisec offers a proactive cybersecurity solution designed to outsmart modern cyber threats through a strategic, preventative approach, making it an excellent choice for organizations aiming to bolster their defenses against sophisticated attacks.
