How to Create a Baseline for Your Network

By Ana Mezic | November 26, 2019

We separate the parts that are wavelike and we separate the parts that are stochastic. Then, five minutes later we look again and compare what we’ve seen historically and what the AI has predicted to happen to the current state of the network. If they are different, that’s an anomaly detected.

Case Study: MixMode AI Detects Attack not Found on Threat Intel

By Russell Gray | November 21, 2019

In October, 2019 a MixMode customer experienced an incident where an external entity attacked a web server located in their DMZ, compromised it, and then pivoted internally through the DMZ to attempt access of a customer database. While the attacker was successful in penetrating the customer’s network, MixMode was able to detect the event before they were successful in penetrating the customer database.

Dynamic and Flexible AI for Network Security

By Christian Wiens | October 31, 2019

Third-Wave artificial intelligence (also known as Wave 3 AI), is making life a whole lot easier for security systems administrators. It seems like we just passed the milestones of incorporating AI into network security. But Dr. Igor Mezic and others in this field have made huge strides in the last year. In his new whitepaper on AI for Network Security, Dr. Mezic describes how Third-Wave AI brings flexibility and intuition into the world of machine learning.

About MixMode

MixMode is the first to bring a third-wave, context-aware AI approach that automatically learns and adapts to dynamically changing environments. MixMode’s monitoring platform, PacketSled, better understands network behavior as it adapts to baseline changes and enables both misuse detection and anomaly detection, as well as predictive maintenance. Used by enterprises and MSSPs for real-time network analysis, threat hunting and incident response, the platform leverages continuous stream monitoring and retrospection to provide network forensics and security analytics. Security teams can integrate PacketSled into their orchestration engine, SIEM, or use PacketSled independently to dramatically reduce false positive alerts and the resources required to respond to persistent threats, malware, insider attacks and nation state espionage efforts.

The company has been named an innovator in leading publications and by security analysts, including SC Magazine, earning a finalist award in 2018 and 2019 for "Best Computer Forensic Solution.” Based in Santa Barbara, with offices in San Diego, the company is backed by Keshif Ventures and Blu Venture Investors.
