Balbix BreachControl is a cloud-hosted solution that leverages AI technology to help organizations predictively assess data breach risks. The company recognizes that analyzing and improving cybersecurity posture is no longer a human scale problem, so it leverages advanced machine learning to analyze attack surfaces, identify potential gaps, and deliver risk mitigation suggestions. Balbix helps security teams shift to a proactive risk management posture.The product has a centrally managed portal that simplifies
platform management and sensors are distributed across environments for
continuous information gathering and analysis, yielding real-time impact
visualization and risk scores. Scoring incorporates known vulnerabilities,
asset exposure, mitigation impact and asset criticality. Factors contributing
to risk scores are highlighted with Risk Insights. AI models develop risk
scores by conducting baseline assessments to evaluate breach likelihood and
impact based on the criticality of each asset. Breach likelihood is calculated
across nine classes of attack vectors. Balbix identifies device owners in
automatically generated asset lists. Critical assets are also identified based
on event log and network traffic behavior. The result is a real-time risk model
using a dependence analysis to rank assets based on business criticality.Search queries use natural language.There is a button next
to populated issues that creates a ticket to simplify investigation follow-up.
The search engine is robust and can even identify privileged users by observing
their ongoing behavior and activities.We were particularly impressed with the visual aspects of
Balbix and are confident IT professionals will appreciate its dark mode
interface features. Dark mode is easy to take for granted until one is forced
to work extensively with a product that does not have it. The threat
intelligence dashboard incorporates integrations with threat feeds so security
professionals can see an environment from a variety of perspectives.Dark mode alongside the intuitive interface and graphical
capabilities, made Balbix BreachControl immediately stand out. Color-coded
graphs are updated in real-time and highly interactive. Items coded in grey are
“humanized” predictions, meaning the machine learning model does not have
enough data to make a definitive risk determination. Simply clicking on
different parts of the graphs allows users to drilldown into more detailed
information.Annual subscription pricing is based on asset counts with tiered volume discounts. The number of appliances and traffic analyzer hardware requiredimpacts subscription pricing. 24/7 website support, knowledgebase and FAQs come standard with any subscription.
