True Digital Group, a digital transformation enabler in Thailand launched by True Corporation, has selected Vectra AI, an expert in AI-driven cyber threat detection and response, to enhance its defense against the increasing number of cyber threats.
The security team’s role is to protect against continuously advanced and fast-paced cyberattacks. Yet, the expanding attack surface combined with evolving attacker tactics and increasing security analysts’ workload results in an intensive “spiral of more." This is ultimately preventing security teams from effectively securing their organizations.
True has appointed Vectra AI and its Attack Signal Intelligence (ASI) technology to optimize the organization’s ability to identify and prioritize threats, specifically to automatically filter and lessen high levels of false positive alerts through machine learning, allowing True’s security team to focus only on critical incidents.
The Group CISO and CDO at True, Tithirat Siripattanalert, said, “Organizations in Thailand have been bearing the brunt of cyberattacks. The persistence of these threats highlights the ongoing need for True to remain ever vigilant and heighten our cyber risk management posture.”
Siripattanalert also shared the large number of false-positive alerts they previously received, making it harder for their SOC team to investigate. “With the deployment of Vectra AI, we can now identify suspicious activities in real-time, which the previous traditional technology couldn’t. Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence helped us prioritize the most urgent alerts with its machine learning technology, which rapidly analyses abnormal behavior,” Siripattanalert continued.
“This significantly reduced the volume of false-positive alerts and gave our security team the ability to focus on critical incidents and remediate threats more effectively,” he further stated.
Regional Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan at Vectra AI, David Sajoto, added, “As enterprises shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, SOC teams are continuously finding themselves victims to more and increasingly unsustainable attacks.
“According to Vectra research, 8 out of 10 (83%) feel outgunned against modern attacks, with 63% of SOC analysts saying their attack surface has significantly increased in the past three years. Additionally, research showed that security analysts cannot deal with 67% of the daily alerts received, with 83% reporting that alerts are false positives and not worth their time.”
He also expressed the company’s enthusiasm to collaborate with True Digital Group in Thailand. “Our Vectra ASI platform is already delivering targeted visibility across True’s network, reducing the noise and improving operational efficiencies. We look forward to extending the relationship further to support their corporate customers,” Sajoto said.
