Advanced Cybersecurity Sensors for Unparalleled Threat Detection

In today's complex and continuously evolving threat landscape, traditional security solutions often fall short, lacking the necessary depth of visibility to detect and counteract sophisticated cyberattacks. Impact Intelligence, now powered by CyVectors' proprietary Cybersecurity Sensors, offers advanced threat detection technology that delivers unparalleled deep visibility and real-time monitoring across your entire IT environment.

Our Cybersecurity Sensors fundamentally enhance your security posture by providing granular, actionable insights into network activity, endpoint behavior, and critical system events. This leads to earlier detection, faster response, and ultimately, significantly less risk and potential cost for your business. These modernized solutions are designed to be both highly effective and cost-efficient, reducing the need for extensive manual oversight and preventing expensive breaches.

The Indispensable Role of Modern Cybersecurity Sensors

Organizations frequently struggle with several critical challenges that make advanced Cybersecurity Sensors not just beneficial, but essential for modern defense:

  • Lack of Deep Visibility: Traditional security tools often lack the granular depth of visibility needed to detect advanced threats.
  • Difficulty in Monitoring Complex Environments: Modern IT environments, with diverse devices and cloud services, are increasingly challenging to monitor effectively with conventional tools.
  • Need for Customized Security Solutions: Generic security solutions often fail to address the specific, unique security needs and nuances of individual organizations.

Impact Intelligence's Cybersecurity Sensors, developed by CyVectors, expertly address these challenges by providing a cutting-edge, comprehensive solution:

  • Advanced Threat Detection Technology: Our proprietary sensors are meticulously designed to detect a wide array of cyber threats.
  • Deep, Granular Visibility: Gain unparalleled, granular insights into network activity, endpoint behavior, and system events.
  • Real-Time Continuous Monitoring: Benefit from continuous, real-time monitoring capabilities that enable immediate identification and response to threats as they emerge, minimizing potential impact.

Our Comprehensive Cybersecurity Sensors Offerings

Impact Intelligence's Cybersecurity Sensors solutions, powered by CyVectors, include a comprehensive suite of specialized sensors meticulously designed to address diverse security needs and enhance your overall security intelligence:

Endpoint Sensors:

  • LANVector: Provides critical visibility into invisible connections from endpoints to external Command-and-Control (CnC) servers, keyloggers, and more.
  • NodeBeacon: Efficiently gathers essential host resource information like CPU, Memory, and Disk usage without cumbersome polling of WMI or SNMP. It identifies unusual spikes of activity and reports as syslog.
  • Exfiltration Sensor: Continuously monitors endpoints for extended bursts of data being sent to untrusted or known threat destinations. It combines node egress packet analysis with threat CIDR lists.
  • File Audit Agent: Reports all critical SMB operations—such as READ, DELETE, CREATE, and RENAME—to any syslog receiver. This allows the SIEM to get creative on monitoring for out-of-compliance file activity like mass deletes.
  • DNS Sensor: Monitors DNS on any Windows node, providing deep visibility into patterns of DNS activity frequently exploited by attackers for lateral propagation, data exfiltration, and other nefarious events.

Network Sensors:

  • tRoute Sensor: Easily adds a sensor to any Windows node to enable continuous traceroutes from that node to any destination IP or domain. Tests run every X minutes (default: 10) and send hop results as syslog.
  • AirVector Sentry: Continuously monitors for wireless access points and Bluetooth signals around your managed network, reporting signal strength as syslog to detect rogue devices or unauthorized connections.

Email Security Sensors:

  • Email Vector Analysis: An invaluable Outlook Add-In or Gmail Chrome Extension designed to empower any end-user against sophisticated email fraud—a prevalent vector for initial breaches—by providing real-time warnings and insights.

Integration Sensors:

  • Syslog-2-ObservAPI: Installs on any CyVectors endpoint to seamlessly begin sending the existing syslog as HTTPS to SolarWinds Observability Logs. It can also be installed on a Windows Server to host an API Gateway for many nodes.
  • Syslog Junction: Enables sending syslog alerts to a central junction point and forwarding them to multiple syslog destinations from a local .dat file. This is also excellent for sharing CyVectors sensor data with other tools.
  • SIEM AI Sidekick: Your vSOC sends SideKick syslog messages, and SideKick, in turn, sends syslog messages back to your vSOC with advanced AI analysis about the previous hour's activity. It's like hiring an expert to watch your syslog 24/7.
  • LogFile Sensor: Intelligently reads log text files and reports message matches to the vSOC as syslog. This highly flexible solution can monitor multiple files.

Vulnerability Assessment Sensors:

  • Pentest Scanner: This "Living Assessment" sensor scans your entire network every 24 hours, reporting vulnerabilities from its embedded NVD database that updates with each run. It also provides all necessary switches, logging, and encoding to produce a comprehensive pentest report. The sensor reports as syslog, local log file for SaaS, or Windows Event Logs.
