As simple or advanced as you want it to be, the SenseOn platform can automatically detect even the most advanced threats, including the notorious NotPetya ransomware, which brought the global law firm DLA Piper to its knees in 2019, as soon as they enter your system. Any instances of suspicious movement of sensitive data, regardless of whether it happens within or beyond the firm, are flagged as well.
"We’d been on the other side of information leaks, representing clients on the legal side, so we knew what the impact of a breach could be, and we instantly felt that SenseOn was a must have."
Andrew Walles, IT Solutions Architect, Harbottle & Lewis.
The nature of legal work means that the volume of data needing to be protected is extremely high. This, in turn, generates a significant amount of security data. SenseOn correlates all of this data into one usable format so analysts can instantly find out who, what, where, when and how without having to try and link up information from disparate sources.
As legal teams are becoming more distributed through remote working or multinational offices, it is becoming even harder to access network information with traditional tools. SenseOn’s Universal Sensor collects data across remote workers, corporate offices, production sites and cloud instances at once with an EPNS service to correlate endpoint information and the network data at the point of being recorded.
With sensitive data comes great responsibility. It is a top priority that there are no security blind spots in a legal firm’s digital estate. Any gap could be an entryway for adversaries to access confidential information. Our Universal Sensor provides specific, granular information without the traffic jam of lots of different tools to stop adversaries penetrating your estate.
As with many security teams, resources for cyber security within legal firms are often thinly stretched. As such, there is rarely the capacity to resolve the thousands of alerts that are generated by traditional security tools. Using a highly accurate AI based reasoning framework, SenseOn only brings true positive alerts to the attention of analysts, dramatically reducing security operating costs.
SenseOn was founded on the belief that the cybersecurity industry is broken. Designed by security professionals who have felt the pain of traditional tools, SenseOn’s vision is to remove the burden of mundane, repetitive work so security and IT professionals can enjoy more fulfilling careers by enabling an autonomous, intelligent and secure digital world.
