ReaQta an IBM Company
Simplifying and Automating Threat Response

"One single vulnerability is all an attacker needs.”
Today, the smallest loophole in an enterprise’s cyber security landscape can compromise all of its crucial assets and information. With access to prolific technological advancements, cyber attackers and criminals are better equipped with newer techniques of intruding into an enterprise’s cyberspace. As a result, enterprises dedicate substantial time and effort to developing a robust endpoint security ecosystem to ensure compliance and maintain greater control over the entry points to an enterprise network and eliminate unwanted access.

Amsterdam-based ReaQta makes it possible for businesses to have such an ecosystem in place with its AI-powered endpoint threat response and security platform to respond to threats in an automated and more efficient manner. ReaQta’s solutions assist enterprises in moving beyond their traditional security mechanisms and leverage solutions that automate the menial and repetitive manual tasks associated with implementing the security solutions and simplify the complex processes of managing enterprise security platforms.

ReaQta presents a unique feature called Cyber Assistant, the first and the only one-shot learning system in the industry that allows enterprises to respond automatically to threats and attack incidents. Cyber Assistant employs behavioral analysis to observe the tasks performed by the analysts, understand how they react to threats, and then automate the threat management process. Moreover, being a one-shot learning system, Cyber Assistant can learn the processes of threat management and responses at once, unlike the traditional machine learning (ML) systems. As a result, enterprises can leverage the knowledge integrated within Cyber Assistant to evolve and prepare new analysts for the job as they join. Cyber Assistant is part of ReaQta’s flagship product: AI-powered endpoint threat response platform, ReaQta-Hive, that autonomously detects and responds to threats.

The team has created a scripting engine called DeStra within ReaQta-Hive that can customize the detection engine to meet each customer’s unique needs and assist them in responding to threats in real-time. This solution has facilitated ReaQta to meet the critical requirements of compliance-heavy financial institutions, like the SWIFT Network. In Japan, a custom version of ReaQta-Hive was deployed to allow banks to protect confidential assets and information and meet the security compliance requirements. “We leverage AI to help analysts with complete remediation and reduce manual responses to threats and attacks, thereby assisting enterprises in achieving operational resilience,” says Alberto Pelliccione, CEO at ReaQta.

The company’s solutions can be seamlessly integrated with any other existing security solution of an enterprise. It offers customers the choice of retaining their existing security tools and further improving their security technology while expanding their capabilities using ReaQta.

For instance, some customers might already be using antivirus, making it unnecessary to enable a second signature-based solution, whereas ReaQta can integrate with the enterprise’s existing antivirus. Again, based on the organization’s need to integrate the experience into a single dashboard, ReaQta allows them to transition into a single application system. Further, ReaQta has also assisted organizations in eliminating the need to outsource a multitude of crucial tasks, from the management of endpoints to MDR services.

Recently, IBM Security acquired ReaQta, which is driving them to release a one-click integration within the XDR space, especially the one created by the latter. This will allow ReaQta’s customers to directly utilize the QRadar XDR that can be integrated with any technologies. With a myriad of security solutions, ReaQta has driven enterprises to reinforce their operational resilience by building robust security architecture and simplifying the complex processes associated with managing security platforms.
