Sababa Security and Vectra announce sales and managed services partnership

MILAN, Italy, Nov. 12, 2020 – Sababa Security, an Italy-based cybersecurity provider, announced today that it has signed a partnership agreement with Vectra^®, a U.S.-based leader in AI-driven network detection and response (NDR) solutions that stop data breaches. Meeting the rising demand in Italy, Sababa Security is now able to provide companies with industry award-winning NDR solutions from Vectra, which use AI-derived machine learning models to detect hidden attacker behaviors, prioritize the highest-risk threats, and enable security operations teams to respond quickly to stop data breaches.

The average amount of time an undiscovered attacker can dwell inside a network is 49-150 days, depending on industry, according to the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. That gives attackers plenty of time to spy, spread and steal. And according to Gartner*, data exfiltration techniques and tactics were successful 67 percent of the time.

The Cognito^® NDR platform from Vectra solves these challenges and is light years beyond the security industry’s definition of NDR. It takes a huge leap forward in solving many formidable challenges faced by security operations teams who are entrusted to protect critical business data.

The Cognito NDR platform uses AI-derived machine learning to automatically detect and respond to cyberattackers across cloud, data center, IoT, and enterprise networks. It also enables security operations teams to perform conclusive incident investigations and AI-assisted threat hunting. The Cognito NDR platform prioritizes in-progress attacks that pose the highest business risk, so the security operations team can respond instantly to mitigate threats and stop data breaches.

Sababa Security empowers this technology, enabling companies with or without an internal security operations center (SOC) to benefit from NDR. The Sababa security team deploys the Cognito NDR platform into the customer’s network and can manage it remotely from the Sababa SOC, adding incident response capabilities to cyberthreat detection.

“Sababa Security constantly monitors leaders in the global information security market and selects the best solutions from technical and usability standpoints,” said Alessio Aceti, CEO at Sababa Security. “Adding Vectra to our portfolio allows us to provide our partners with a world-class NDR solution that automates the detection and response to cyberattacks, accelerates incident investigation, and improves threat detection. Vectra also has out-of-the-box technical integrations with most of our existing vendors to vastly improve SOC visibility.”

“We are pleased and confident that this important engagement with Sababa Security in Italy will accelerate Vectra market leadership, expand our channel, and help organisations reduce their business risk while improving efficiencies within security operations,” said Sandra Hilt, senior director of EMEA channel sales at Vectra.
