HEXTAGON

Introduction to HEXTAGON

HEXTAGON is a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform designed to detect and disrupt adversary behavior in real time. It focuses on the earliest stages of the attack chain, specifically reconnaissance, to stop threats before they can cause damage. By instantly unifying threat propagation across an organization's entire security stack—including on-premises, cloud, OT (operational technology), and IoT (Internet of Things) environments—HEXTAGON ensures that defenses are synchronized and automated, reducing the risk of breaches.

The platform leverages AI-driven recon prevention to identify and block malicious activity as it occurs. This approach not only enhances security but also reduces the workload on SOC (Security Operations Center) teams by minimizing alert fatigue and improving the accuracy of threat detection. With a single dashboard, users gain real-time insights into KPIs, risk reduction metrics, and full traceability of threats, enabling leaders to make informed decisions and prove ROI.

Takeaways

• Real-time threat detection at the earliest stage of the attack chain (reconnaissance)
• Automated threat propagation across IT, cloud, OT, and IoT environments
• Reduction of alert fatigue with high accuracy and low false positives
• Centralized control through a unified dashboard for real-time KPIs and risk metrics
• AI-driven defense that adapts and strengthens based on adversary behavior

How HEXTAGON Works

HEXTAGON analyzes live network traffic to detect and correlate Adversary Behavioral Analysis (ABA). This process reveals which assets are being targeted, how attackers are engaging them, and what tactics and techniques are in use. By leveraging precise threat context and posture-aware risk insights, HEXTAGON empowers security teams to respond quickly and effectively.

The platform operates through a series of key steps:

1. Detect: Real-time reconnaissance monitoring of network traffic.
2. Discover: Identification of the full digital footprint, including unknown or forgotten assets.
3. Analyze: Detection of malicious probing patterns and scoring of threats based on attacker behavior.
4. Correlate: Mapping of actions to MITRE ATT&CK framework and connecting behaviors to specific assets.
5. Block: Automatic blocking and disruption of early-stage attacks.
6. Propagate: Synchronization of blocking across the entire security stack to reinforce defense.

Core Benefits and Applications

HEXTAGON is ideal for organizations looking to enhance their proactive defense strategies, especially those with complex hybrid infrastructures that require centralized, intelligent, and automated security solutions.
