At MixMode, our passion for cybersecurity innovation drives everything we do. As we reflect on the past year, we have a lot to celebrate in terms of accomplishments that moved our business,  customers, and partners forward. 

Let’s dive into some of our key successes for 2023, as we get ready to go even further in 2024.


Detection Redefined

At its core, MixMode’s mission is to consistently deliver the most Advanced AI Real-Time Threat Detection and Response at Scale to help organizations effortlessly secure their environments against sophisticated attacks. As attacks grow more advanced, with the latest analysis showing 80% of successful security breaches were enabled by novel attack techniques rather than known vulnerabilities or misconfigurations alone,  innovation was more important than ever in staying ahead of threat actors’ latest tactics, techniques, and procedures. Throughout 2023, MixMode focused on taking our threat detection capabilities to the next level, helping organizations to detect those novel, never-before-seen attacks across any data environment. 

A few notable MixMode novel attack detections included: 

  • Advanced Ransomware Detection: The MixMode Platform triggered a high priority alert for a customer indicating abnormal outbound traffic that warranted further investigation. Within seconds, another high-priority alert was triggered, signaling the abnormal traffic had escalated to data exfiltration associated with Emotet.  Missed by the customer’s endpoint and firewall solutions, the MixMode Platform allowed security teams to quickly eradicate the threat before any damage could occur. 
  • Identity Attack Detection: The MixMode Platform detected multiple occurrences of anomalous user activity. By identifying multiple events missed by the organization’s IAM, MixMode detected the identity-based threat, enabling security teams to  prevent the risk of unauthorized access that could have posed a serious risk to the organization.
  • Advanced Malware Detection: The MixMode Platform detected a high level of Inbound and outbound connections leading to unknown foreign IP addresses indicating a cyber threat.  Upon Investigation, MixMode found an NTP Query request to an unauthorized source that involved outbound Active Directory activity to China through the customer’s firewall and related inbound activity from a source in Russia. Missed by the customers firewall, the MixMode Platform provided analysts the intelligence required to shut down the communication and rectify the misconfigurations in their environment. 


Technology Innovation

Throughout 2023, MixMode advanced its technology to help organizations maximize their security investments and improve their cybersecurity defenses against increasingly sophisticated threats. 2023 Technology Innovation highlights included:

  • Strengthening of our Advanced AI Threat Detection Platform included new features that drive threat detection and response capabilities in large data environments, expanded cloud data ingestion capabilities, including support for the ingestion of identity data, integrations with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, and expanded deployments across cloud environments.
  • We launched MixMode Identity Threat Detection and Response, delivering elite detection, transparent context, and guided response for identity-based threats targeting Okta and its connected infrastructure. 
  • Enhanced SOC Effectiveness, giving customers greater visibility into their digital attack surface, improved investigation capabilities, and increased customization options.


Channel Momentum

It was a great year of momentum for MixMode and our channel-first approach. Together, MixMode and our expanding partner community had a record year, fulfilling the growing demand for MixMode solutions that bolster cybersecurity defenses across complex data environments. Successes included:
