Security operations teams are under immense pressure to respond to incidents faster and more efficiently. However, traditional investigation tools simply aren’t keeping up with the complexities of cloud environments. Many organizations still rely on on-premise forensics tools designed for a time before the cloud was the norm. This leads to manual, time-consuming processes that hinder response times. This is where the Cado Platform is revolutionizing cloud investigation and response by leveraging cloud speed, scalability, and automation.
Investigating incidents in a hybrid or cloud-native environment is a huge challenge. Traditional forensic tools are optimized for on-premise environments, where data is typically stored in centralized, physical locations. When these tools are repurposed for cloud environments, they struggle to keep up with the distributed and ephemeral nature of cloud resources.
To perform a comprehensive investigation, security teams often spend hours, or even days, manually collecting, processing, and analyzing data from multiple systems. As a result, response times are slow, leading to an increased risk of damage during an active incident.
Further compounding the problem is the visibility gap that cloud environments introduce. Security teams frequently have blind spots in cloud, container, and serverless environments, making it nearly impossible to obtain a complete picture of the attack.
Cado Security is designed to address these challenges head-on. By leveraging the speed of the cloud in investigation and response automation, Cado ensures that security teams can respond faster, with greater accuracy, and more effectively than ever before.
With Cado’s platform, data from AWS, Azure, GCP, containers, and serverless environments can be captured in real time without the need for pre-installed agents. This is made possible through cloud-native APIs that automatically collect forensic-level data, including full disk, cloud logs, and memory.
One of the most significant advantages of the Cado platform is its ability to drastically reduce response times. The platform’s patented architecture allows for rapid, parallel data processing. Instead of the traditional method of processing data one system at a time, often leading to delays of days or even weeks, Cado processes evidence from multiple systems simultaneously.
For example, a recent customer reported that their investigations, which used to take days, were completed in one-sixth of the time using Cado. By applying cloud speed to the investigation process, Cado enables security teams to go from detection to response in minutes, not days.
Manual data collection and processing are not just slow—they're also error-prone. Cado automates these tasks, eliminating the risk of human error and allowing security teams to focus on more strategic aspects of incident response. Cado automatically creates a full timeline of file events, reconstructs file systems, and enriches data using threat intelligence, so teams have a clear path from detection to root cause analysis.
Consider a scenario where a security team detects a suspicious event in a cloud environment. With traditional tools, this would require manually capturing data from each cloud resource, processing it on external servers, and conducting a detailed investigation using spreadsheets and ad-hoc tools. This process can take weeks.
With Cado, the process is completely automated. The platform immediately captures data, processes it in parallel, and generates a full incident timeline in a matter of minutes. This drastically reduces the Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), allowing organizations to mitigate the impact of attacks before they can cause significant harm:
As cloud environments become more complex, security teams need tools that can keep up with the pace of modern attacks. Cado Security’s cloud-native platform is built specifically for this purpose, providing unparalleled speed, automation, and scalability. By leveraging the power of the cloud, Cado enables security teams to respond faster, investigate more thoroughly, and stay one step ahead of attackers.
