Deloitte, Cray team up to offer threat analytics service

By TechTaffy Desk

Deloitte and Cray have teamed up to introduce a subscription-based supercomputing threat analytics service, Cyber Reconnaissance and Analytics. The service is powered by Urika-GX, Cray’s new agile analytics platform.

Gordon Hannah, cyber reconnaissance and analytics leader for Deloitte Advisory cyber risk services and principal at Deloitte & Touche, said “Cyber analytics is about leveraging efficiencies and joining bits of knowledge together. With Cyber Reconnaissance, we utilize graph analytics to identify relationships and look for behavioral patterns versus querying for a known signature. 

The threat intelligence reports are being used by the Department of Defense, according to a statement issued by Cray.
