Retrospective detection involves a thorough analysis of historical data including past logs, endpoint activities, and network activities. This analysis identifies initially missed malicious behavior as well as reveals the true extent of the threat. It automatically searches historical network data of the enterprise. This eliminates blind spots, enabling security teams to see more and stop threats. Â
Retrospective detection can identify and flag malicious activities in the network, providing security teams with a clear understanding of a zero-day threat. When such a threat is discovered, the collected data is compared with the indicators of compromise (IoC). If the data matches a known signature from the database, security teams can take necessary actions to contain the exploit.
