Fortinet FortiSandbox and LMNTRIX Active Defense compete in threat detection and security integration solutions. FortiSandbox has the upper hand in advanced threat hunting and integration capabilities, while LMNTRIX excels in incident responsiveness and management simplicity.
Features: FortiSandbox offers integration with FortiGate, excellent zero-day threat detection, and real-time email analysis integration. It provides comprehensive threat mitigation solutions. LMNTRIX Active Defense stands out for real-time incident validation, simple monitoring processes, and a dashboard that offers intuitive visibility, ensuring quick response to threats.
Room for Improvement: FortiSandbox needs improved integration options and simplified licensing. It also faces challenges in its virtual environment capabilities and technical support. LMNTRIX Active Defense could enhance its multifactor authentication options and improve dashboard usability and interface intuitiveness.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: FortiSandbox offers various deployment options, including hybrid and public clouds, but customer service experiences vary, with some reporting delays. LMNTRIX Active Defense is mainly on-premises with straightforward deployment, praised for its responsive customer service, although more setup guidance is suggested.
Pricing and ROI: FortiSandbox is affordable, offering good ROI with strong security features, despite a confusing licensing structure. LMNTRIX is slightly more expensive but justifies the cost with 24/7 monitoring and proactive threat validation, providing reasonable ROI.
Fortinet FortiSandbox is a behavior-based threat detection solution that prevents and detects malicious code in files transferred within the organization. It is integrated with FortiGate firewalls and FortiMail for threat protection and can be used for monitoring and reporting. The solution inspects files in a virtual environment with different types of virtual machines and can block or quarantine files based on their score.
The most valuable features include dynamic behavior analysis, manual scan features, easy management and configuration, fast scanning, scalability, customization, and ICAP protocol. The solution is cost-effective and faster than other sandbox solutions, with a good user interface.
LMNTRIX has reimagined cybersecurity, turning the tables in favor of the defenders once again. We have cut out the bloat of SIEM, log analysis, false positives and associated alert fatigue and we created new methods for confounding even the most advanced attackers. We combine deep expertise with cutting-edge technology, leading intelligence, and advanced analytics to detect and investigate threats with great speed, accuracy, and focus. We believe that in a time of continuous compromise you need continuous response – not incident response. Our approach turns inward and assumes that you’re already breached and that you’re continually going to be breached, so we take a pro-active, offensive, hunting, adversarial pursuit stance as opposed to a reactive, defensive, legacy stance with analysts staring at a SIEM console wishing they could detect an APT.
LMNTRIX Active Defense is a best in class Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service that detects and responds to advanced threats that bypass perimeter controls. The outcomes we deliver clients are validated breaches that are investigated, contained and remediated. All incidents are aligned to the kill chain and Mitre ATT&CK frameworks and contain detailed investigative actions and recommendations that your organisation follows to protect against the unknown, insider threat and malicious attacker.
We are a partner which becomes an extension of your internal team, can augment your MSSP, or be a full-service SOC as a service security solution.
Active Defense is made up of 3 elements:
LMNTRIX GRID (XDR) – This is our cyber defence SaaS platform that provides a new utility model for enterprise security, delivering pervasive visibility, automated threat detection & prevention, threat hunting, investigation, validation and unlimited forensic exploration on-demand and entirely from the cloud. It is a single investigative platform for insights into threats on enterprise, cloud, hybrid, and industrial control systems (ICS) networks. The LMNTRIX Grid delivers unique advantages over current network security solutions. It is a holistic and multi-vector platform with unlimited retention window of full-fidelity network traffic, innovative security visualizations, and the ease and cost-savings of an on-demand deployment model.
LMNTRIX Technology Stack –This is our powerful proprietary threat detection stack that is deployed onsite, behind existing controls. It’s made up of network sensors, endpoint agents and deceptions everywhere. It combines multiple threat detection systems, with deception everywhere, machine learning, threat intel, correlation, static file analysis, heuristics, and behavior and anomaly detection techniques to find threats in real-time. It decreases alarm fatigue by automatically determining which alerts should be elevated to security events, and reduces false positives by requiring consensus across detection.
LMNTRIX Cyber Defense Centers - While these technologies are without peer, what sets us apart from the pack is our team of cybersecurity professionals who continually monitor our clients environments 24x7 while simultaneously hunting threats internally as well as monitoring developments on the deep and dark web. Our CDC's are a global network of cyber defense centers with highly trained and certified intrusion analysts who provide constant vigilance and on-demand analysis of your networks. Our intrusion analysts monitor your networks and endpoints 24x7, applying the latest intelligence and proprietary methodologies to look for signs of compromise. When a potential compromise is detected, the team performs an in- depth analysis on affected systems to confirm the breach. When data theft or lateral movement is imminent, our automated perimeter containment blocks attackers in their tracks while endpoint containment feature makes immediate reaction possible by quarantining affected hosts, whether they are on or off your corporate network, significantly reducing or eliminating the consequences of a breach.
We monitor all Threat Deception Platforms reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
