Deep Instinct to Demonstrate Zero-Day Data Security at Black Hat USA and DEF CON 2024

The 2024 Voice of SecOps report finds 97% of security professionals are concerned that their organization will suffer an AI-generated security incident, with 66% claiming AI is the direct cause of burnout.

VoiceofSecOps_Meta_1200x627.png

NEW YORK, NY, June 3, 2024 – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/">Deep Instinct</a>, the prevention-first cybersecurity company that stops unknown malware pre-execution with a purpose-built, AI-based deep learning (DL) framework, today released the fifth edition of its <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports">Voice of SecOps Report</a><a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports">,</a> which examines AI’s increasingly large impact on cybersecurity, the continued over-reliance of reactive cybersecurity tools, related defender stress and burnout, and the promise of preventative strategies.The study found that three in four security professionals (75%) had to change their cybersecurity strategy in the last year due to the rise in AI-powered cyber threats, with 73% expressing a greater focus on prevention capabilities. Additionally, 97% of respondents are concerned their organization will suffer a security incident due to adversarial AI.“The biggest challenge for SecOps teams is keeping pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape being driven by AI. These never-before-seen threats are disrupting organizations, causing breaches that are accompanied by costly remediation. SecOps must stay ahead of these unknown attacks that often penetrate existing defenses, despite investment in technology and talented cybersecurity professionals,” said Lane Bess, CEO of Deep Instinct. “Threat hunting teams need to be equipped with better solutions that leverage more sophisticated AI, specifically deep learning, to not only predict but prevent unknown threats and offer explainability to facilitate response.”The report, conducted by Sapio Research, surveyed 500 senior cybersecurity experts from companies with 1,000+ employees in the US operating in financial services, technology, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, public sector, or critical infrastructure. Key findings included the following:Deepfakes continue to plague organizations, with C-suite impersonations rising.Deepfakes, or synthetic audio or video media files that have been digitally manipulated with AI, no longer just impact public figures and celebrities. Corporate leadership teams are now prime targets for manipulation. Our research found that 61% of organizations experienced a rise in deepfake incidents over the past year, with 75% of these attacks impersonating an organization’s CEO or another member of the C-suite. An over-reliance on Endpoint Detection and Response leaves organizations increasingly vulnerable.Relying on legacy, reactive cybersecurity tools like <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/endpoint-detection-response">Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)</a> continues to set organizations up for failure, as EDR cannot combat next-generation, AI-powered cyber threats. It’s like fighting a five-alarm fire with a garden hose. Yet, 41% of organizations still rely on EDR solutions to protect them from adversarial AI – but less than a third (31%) plan to increase their EDR investments to prepare for unknown attacks. EDR should be a last resort. A prevention-first approach to cybersecurity blocks an attack from ever reaching the endpoint, eliminating the need to respond to threats.Cybersecurity prevention is the future, but pressure is being applied now.The only way to properly combat rising AI-powered attacks is to adopt a prevention-first approach to cybersecurity. Fortunately, the industry is starting to shift its mindset from “assume breach” to prevention. Our study found that 42% of organizations currently use preventative technologies, like <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/platform" target="_self">predictive prevention platforms</a>, to help protect against adversarial AI. However, more than half (53%) of security professionals feel pressure from their board to adopt tools that allow them to prevent the next cyber attack, rather than rely on antiquated defense mechanisms that have proven ineffective – as evidenced in the recent security incident impacting Microsoft, where bad actors dwelled in the network for months. Prevention is the future, and it’s finally being prioritized.AI is causing greater SecOps burnout and stress.The rise of adversarial AI is also taking a toll on cybersecurity professionals, with 66% admitting their stress levels are worse than last year and two in three (66%) saying AI is the direct cause of burnout and stress.To help alleviate this burnout SecOps professionals believe that AI can be used for good. In fact, over a third (35%) want to implement AI tools to help alleviate repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Additionally, 35% of respondents say having proactive cybersecurity measures in place, like predictive prevention, would help decrease their stress levels.To get the full report, and download past Voice of SecOps reports, please visit <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports">https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports</a>.

NEW YORK, NY, January 25, 2024 – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/" target="_self">Deep Instinct</a>, the prevention-first cybersecurity company that stops unknown malware pre-execution with a purpose-built, AI-based deep learning (DL) framework, today announced the launch of <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/prevention-for-applications" target="_self">Deep Instinct Prevention for Applications</a> (DPA) v3.0, which includes enhanced file upload protection and application storage security capabilities, even in disconnected or air-gapped environments. DPA v3.0 is an agentless, on-demand, anti-malware solution that is device- and system-agnostic, seamlessly connecting to an organization’s existing infrastructure to quickly scan files and provide a malicious-vs-benign verdict before the file is allowed into application or storage repositories.File transfers occur via web application uploads, user internet downloads, and third-party data sharing. Oftentimes, uploaded files aren’t being scanned or are scanned with inadequate tools like Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV), Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR), or Sandbox. These solutions can’t scale to meet the volume and velocity of cyber threats brought on by adversarial AI. Additionally, these technologies have not evolved to stop unknown malware, and are largely reliant on signature-based and machine-learning (ML) models that require constant human intervention. <a href="https://info.deepinstinct.com/file-upload-security?_ga=2.238621504.1975433348.1705780193-1593340175.1705416631" target="_self">Read the whitepaper</a> to learn the shortcomings of these tools.Powered by DL, DPA v3.0 is the only solution on the market that can meet these challenges and truly mitigate risks posed by file transfer. This is due to DL’s unique ability to leverage highly complex neural networks. Unlike other solutions that require near-continuous cloud calls for threat intelligence feeds and updates, DPA v3.0 only requires one to two updates per year, limiting the potential for a threat actor to capitalize on an external connection.“With the advancements in generative AI, fueled by LLMs, adversarial AI is the biggest cybersecurity risk to organizations in 2024,” said Yariv Fishman, Chief Product Officer, Deep Instinct. “It’s imperative to fight AI with better AI, and this is where deep learning proves its superiority versus all other technologies. We’re the only solution on the market today that uses deep learning to keep data secure within both disconnected and air-gapped environments, with minimal human intervention. Businesses can freely share information and innovate with confidence, without worrying about the associated risk.”Additional features and benefits include the following:<ul><li>Prevents unknown malware with the highest efficacy and enhanced security – With DPA v3.0, security teams get &gt;99% efficacy in preventing unknown threats to stop ransomware, zero-day, file, and script-based attacks pre-execution.</li><li>Enhances user experiences with near-zero latency – With a &lt;20 milliseconds file scan time, DPA v3.0 provides a malicious vs benign verdict in the blink of an eye and eliminates the need for cloud checks or threat intelligence feeds to provide a verdict.</li><li>Meets enterprise scale with low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) – No matter the file size or volume, DPA v3.0 scans tens of millions of files per day while providing full privacy with only the file hash ever leaving the environment.</li><li>Reduces the burden on the SOC (Security Operations) teams – With a &lt;0.1% false positive rate, SOC teams can focus on real security threats vs fidelity alerts and regular maintenance requirements.</li><li>Expands protection across more file types and sizes – DPA v3.0 supports additional file types with enhanced classification flow and better coverage of PDF, ELF, APK, MSI, DMG, and ISO.

Deep Instinct Enhances the Only Deep Learning-Based File Protection Solution with Launch of DPA v3.0

Deep Instinct Prevention for Storage fills the gap left by legacy tools, equipping teams with >99% efficacy in preventing unknown threats  from reaching data, wherever it is stored

NEW YORK, NY, October 23, 2023 – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/" target="_self">Deep Instinct</a>, the prevention-first cybersecurity company that stops unknown malware pre-execution with a purpose-built, AI-based deep learning (DL) framework, today announced the launch of <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/prevention-for-storage" target="_self">Deep Instinct Prevention for Storage (DPS)</a>. The new offering applies a prevention-first approach to storage protection, wherever data is stored – Network Attached Storage (NAS), hybrid, or public cloud environments – and seamlessly integrates into existing environments to deliver unparalleled efficacy and accuracy along with enterprise-grade scalability.Data is the lifeblood of every organization. As businesses continue to digitally transform, applications and services, employees, and customers are generating more data than ever before. The consolidation of information from various endpoints into data repositories has created a one-stop-shop for attackers. In fact, <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports" target="_self">nearly half</a> of senior cybersecurity experts state that ransomware is the greatest threat to their organization’s <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/data-security" target="_self">data security</a>. It only takes one infected file to put an enterprise at risk.“In today’s evolving threat landscape, threat actors are already leveraging AI to create malware that continuously changes in order to evade detection from traditional cybersecurity tools,” said Yariv Fishman, Chief Product Officer at Deep Instinct. “The only way to future-proof your organization, and its data, is to prioritize protection and security of unstructured storage systems – blocking attacks from ever landing in your environment. With the launch of DPS, our customers can now prevent attacks on data repositories and safeguard the integrity and security of their stored data.”As part of the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform, DPS fills gaps in data protection by applying a unique DL framework dedicated to cybersecurity. Whenever a file is added or changed in a storage environment, it is scanned immediately. Malicious files are either quarantined or deleted to prevent execution. Legacy solutions are insufficient in protecting data as they provide low detection rates for unknown malware, increase total cost of ownership (TCO), trigger an avalanche of high false positives, and introduce complexity into the scanning process.DPS is differentiated from the legacy tools on the market today in the following ways:<ul><li>Seamless Integration – To ensure smooth deployment and interoperability the solution natively integrates with leading platforms, including Dell EMC (CAVA) and NetApp (VScan).</li><li>Improved Efficiency and Lower TCO – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports" target="_self">More than half</a> of security professionals say their stress levels have increased with <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports" target="_self">false positives accounting for over two working days of lost productivity per week</a>. With DPS, security teams are equipped with &gt;99% efficacy in preventing unknown threats, a &lt;0.1% false positive rate, and &lt;20 milliseconds file scan time.</li><li>Ease of Management – DPS is managed via a single console alongside <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/endpoint-security" target="_self">Deep Instinct for Endpoints (DPE)</a> and <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/prevention-for-applications" target="_self">Deep Instinct Prevention for Applications (DPA)</a>. The product supports easy-to-manage policies enabling security teams to control and manage remediation actions. These include quarantine or deletion of malicious files, and the ability to restore from quarantine if needed.</li><li>Compliance Ready – DPS proactively enables organizations to meet compliance requirements, including the recent <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/final/2023/33-11216.pdf" target="_self">SEC guidelines</a> that require organizations to provide annual cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and disclosures of any cybersecurity incidents. All file scans are logged for easy tracking and reporting. For each malicious file, detailed events are sent to the management console, allowing further investigation of prevented attacks.</li></ul>DPS for cloud storage, specifically AWS S3, will provide organizations with a holistic approach for storage security across public clouds. This is a critical need for organizations as the amount of data being stored in public and hybrid cloud environments continues to grow exponentially. While cloud vendors protect the storage itself, they do not ensure the integrity or safety of files stored. Deep Instinct safeguards data wherever it is stored with unparalleled efficacy, accuracy, and enterprise-grade scalability.Visit the <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/prevention-for-storage" target="_self">DPS webpage</a> to learn more.

Deep Instinct Launches Prevention-First Approach to Storage Protection

Ransomware-as-a-Service models, new underground markets, and the proliferation of LLMs combined to create massive opportunities for cybercriminals this year

NEW YORK, NY – October 11, 2023 – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com" target="_self">Deep Instinct</a>, the prevention-first cybersecurity company that stops unknown malware pre-execution with a purpose-built, AI-based deep learning (DL) framework, today released its <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/cyber-threat-reports" target="_self">2023 Bi-Annual Cyber Threat Report</a>, which details the most pressing cyber threats of the year.“This year feels different, like the start of a new era, as artificial intelligence quickly infiltrates the workforce and vulnerabilities like MOVEit continue to have a long-lasting impact on organizations,” said Mark Vaitzman, Threat Lab Team Leader at Deep Instinct. “This report showcases how cybercriminals are adapting to these shifts and becoming more sophisticated in their approach. Prevention against these cyber attacks is possible, but it requires a change from the reactive, ‘assume breach’ mentality that has plagued the industry for far too long.”Top findings from Deep Instinct’s 2023 Bi-Annual Cyber Threat Report include the following:<h5>Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) attributed to a spike in H1 2023 ransomware victims.</h5>The newest edition of the report found that more victims were affected by ransomware in the first half of 2023 than in the entirety of 2022. This is due to large-scale ransomware campaigns affecting a significant number of victims at once, such as the <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/blog/the-zero-day-attack-on-the-moveit-file-transfer-software" target="_self">MOVEit vulnerability</a> in early 2023. Additionally, threat actors continue to leverage RaaS to execute their attacks. From the launch of Lockbit’s affiliate program to new languages featured within BlackCat’s latest family, the impact and scale that RaaS offers ransomware gangs has proven successful.<h5>State-sponsored attacks continue to rise and break records.</h5>Russia has become one of the leading threat actors in the world. After several cyber attacks in 2022, including on Ukrainian government websites, organizations, and companies, several Russian groups such as Sandworm, Callisto, and Gamaredon continued their campaigns against the Eastern European nation in H1 2023.In addition to Russia, Deep Instinct’s Threat Research team identified a new command and control framework, named <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/blog/phonyc2-revealing-a-new-malicious-command-control-framework-by-muddywater" target="_self">PhonyC2</a>, which has been used by the Iranian-based MuddyWater group since at least 2021. The threat lab also observed and analyzed a previously undocumented and undetected new variant of BPFdoor by Red Menshen, a Chinese threat actor.<h5>Underground forums shutdown, but new alternative markets opened.</h5>Throughout 2023, several large darknet and underground hacking forums were closed, including RAID Forums, Breached Forums, Genesis Market, and ASAP Market. Additionally, several ransomware leak sites were seized by the FBI, resulting in the arrests of cyber gang members. However, despite the arrests and closures, growth of the darknet continues. Deep Instinct has observed a flow of new ideas to avoid seizure, including mirroring and alternative protocols, as well as owners of previously shutdown forums opening new, alternative markets.<h5>Cybercriminals taking advantage of LLMs.</h5>The first half of 2023 saw the rise of powerful Large Language Models (LLMs). Cybercriminals took advantage of ChatGPT and other AI-based alternatives by using various jailbreaking guides in underground forums to build their own LLMs for attack, including WormGPT. Additionally, threat actors began abusing non-existent libraries suggested by ChatGPT, infiltrating those recommendations with malicious capabilities.To download Deep Instinct’s 2023 Bi-Annual Cyber Threat Report, please <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/cyber-threat-reports" target="_self">click here</a>.

Deep Instinct Threat Report Finds Ransomware, State-Sponsored Attacks, and AI-Powered Cyber Threats Surged in H1 2023

New report analyzes threats and stressors caused by generative AI, with 51% of security professionals likely to leave their job over the next year

NEW YORK, NY, August 23, 2023 – <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/" target="_self">Deep Instinct</a>, the prevention-first cybersecurity company that stops unknown malware pre-execution with a purpose-built, AI-based deep learning (DL) framework, released the fourth edition of its <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports" target="_self">Voice of SecOps Report</a>. The research – “Generative AI and Cybersecurity: Bright Future or Business Battleground?” – was conducted by Sapio Research and surveyed over 650 senior security operations professionals in the US, including CISOs and CIOs.The study highlights the impact of generative AI in the cybersecurity industry, analyzing the technology’s positive and negative effect on organizations’ security postures and preparedness. Unsurprisingly, 75% of security professionals witnessed an increase in attacks over the past 12 months, with an astonishing 85% attributing this rise to bad actors using generative AI.<h5>Generative AI: Business Friend or Foe?</h5>According to the study, 69% of respondents have already adopted generative AI tools within their organization, with the highest adoption taking place (80%) within the finance sector. Nearly three fourths (70%) of security professionals say generative AI is positively impacting employee productivity and collaboration, with 63% stating the technology has also improved employee morale. However, senior security professionals also view generative AI as a disruptive cybersecurity threat, with nearly half (46%) of respondents believing generative AI will increase their organization’s vulnerability to attacks. The top three generative AI threat issues include growing privacy concerns (39%); undetectable phishing attacks (37%); and an increase in the volume and velocity of attacks (33%).The technology has already been repurposed by bad actors as evidenced by <a href="https://slashnext.com/blog/wormgpt-the-generative-ai-tool-cybercriminals-are-using-to-launch-business-email-compromise-attacks/" target="_blank">WormGPT</a>, a new generative AI tool advertised on underground forums as a way for adversaries to launch sophisticated phishing and business email compromise attacks.<h5>Ransomware: As New Vulnerabilities Emerge, An Old Threat Remains a Challenge</h5>In addition to concerns around unknown attacks fueled by generative AI, ransomware continues to plague organizations, with nearly half (46%) of respondents saying that ransomware is the greatest threat to their organization’s data security. In fact, 62% admit that ransomware is the number one C-suite concern, up from 44% in 2022.The pressure to address the ongoing threat of ransomware is causing organizations to shift their data security approach, with almost half (47%) of respondents now possessing a policy to pay the ransom, versus 34% in 2022. This has resulted in 42% of respondents paying for the return of their data over the past year – up from 32% last year. Conversely, those who opt to pay because they have ransomware insurance has fallen from 62% in 2022 to 43% in 2023.<h5>Mounting Security Team Stress: A Call to Change the Status Quo</h5>Today’s cybersecurity teams are grappling with an increased workload given the adoption of new technologies like generative AI. As a result, more than half (55%) of security professionals say their stress levels have increased, with the top reason being staffing and resource limitations (42%). In fact, 51% are likely to leave their job in the next 12 months as a result of stress. Furthermore, despite the persisting industry skills gap, job security has become a concern for some cybersecurity professionals, with 14% of respondents fearing their job will soon become irrelevant and 11% feeling unclear if their role will exist five years from now due to the rise of AI.When diving deeper into the top stressors, false positives from antiquated cybersecurity tools are creating a massive strain on security operations teams’ time, with false positives accounting for over two working days of lost productivity per week. This has caused dissatisfaction with current security tools, with most (65%) respondents saying they <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/endpoint-detection-response" target="_self">deserve better from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)</a> and <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/deep-instinct-vs-competitors" target="_self">Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV)</a> solutions – up from 51% in 2022.EDR tools make it impossible to truly prevent threats. To alleviate cybersecurity team stress and strengthen security postures, prevention must take precedence over reactive protection. Nearly three out of four respondents (72%) believe preventing attacks before they occur is a priority, signaling a needed change from the industry.“In this new era of generative AI, the only way to combat emerging AI threats is by using advanced AI – one that can prevent and predict unknown threats. Relying on antiquated tools like EDR is the equivalent of fighting a five-alarm fire with a garden hose,” said Lane Bess, CEO of Deep Instinct. “Assuming breach has been an accepted stance but the belief that EDR can get out ahead of threats is simply not true. A shift toward predictive prevention for data security is required to remain ahead of vulnerabilities, limit false positives, and alleviate security team stress.”To download Deep Instinct’s Voice of SecOps report, please click <a href="https://www.deepinstinct.com/voice-of-secops-reports" target="_self">here</a>.
