SilverTail Systems Provides New Tools To ID and Respond To Inbound Web Attacks

By Bob Gourley

The Silver Tail software platform provides a well engineered means of monitoring cyber threat activity- including threat activity hidden in normal Internet traffic. By performing behavior analysis to rapidly ID malicious behavior enterprises are given far more warning of mischief, potential information theft, fraud, espionage or other unauthorized/undesired/potentially illegal activities.

The biggest commercial interest in SilverTail capabilities, judging from Gartner and other analysts reports, seems to be in mitigating unauthorized activities while they are underway.
