In this release, we have made it even easier to add new metrics tailored to your organization. With our new GUI-driven metrics builder, you can create new metrics in just minutes.

Software Discovery

Aura already discovers all of your assets on the network, but it is now able to additionally discover the software running on those assets. For each discovered asset, Aura can let you know the software vendors, products and versions and maintains a full history of installed software over time.

Operating System Insights

The newly added Operating Systems Insights dashboard in Aura provides detailed reporting on the many operating systems and versions running on the discovered assets. This dashboard allows you to gain an understanding of how many assets have a specific OS or version, and also provides more detailed insights on a per asset level.

Webinar – Crouching Users, Hidden Assets

The recent SolarWinds breach and associated malware strains such as Sunburst and Supernova have only served to reinforce the importance of understanding exactly what assets are on your network, who is using them and when. In this webinar we examine some of the key characteristics associated with recent security breaches, such as SolarWinds, and see first hand how Aura Asset Intelligence can be used to quickly discover new or abnormal assets and identities on your network, and uncover hidden assets.

In this Webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Identify key asset-related characteristics seen during the recent SolarWinds breach, in order to prepare for future breaches.
  • Quickly discover new and/or duplicate assets on your network that have never been seen before.
  • Identify which of your assets are associated with abnormal identities or activity.
  • Discover users on your network logging in from unusual locations.

Accelerate your Investigations – Associating Assets and Identities to Log Events over Time

We have all been there at some point during a security investigation; staring at a bunch of suspect log events for a specific period of time and trying to figure out who was associated with the IP address found in the event and what asset the IP was assigned to. This task can take security teams hours and hours, depending on the investigation and usually involves trying to manually correlate various different logs or data sets together. However, what if this task could be performed in seconds? Well it can with Aura Asset Intelligence! and in this post, we will show you how this is done and how you can massively accelerate your investigations as a result.
