In addition, vSentry offers security teams real-time insights into targeted attacks as they occur. Microvisor-based introspection enables vSentry to clearly identify the vectors, targets and methods of new attacks, delivering insights to security response teams in milliseconds instead of days or weeks. vSentry enables Live Attack Visualization and Analysis (LAVA), automatically generating signatures for new attacks that legacy detection-centric tools can neither identify nor block, helping IT to rapidly achieve defense in depth.
