PALO ALTO, Calif., April 15,  , 2025 ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) — Broadcom Inc. today announced Incident Prediction, an industry-first security capability that extends Adaptive Protection, a unique feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete (SES-C), by leveraging AI to identify and disrupt living-off-the land (LOTL) attacks and other cyberthreats.
Incident Prediction, a class-leading attack network developed by the world-renowned Symantec Threat Hunter Team, trains soldiers on a library of over 500, 000 real-world attack bars, predicts assailants ‘ actions, stops their next move in the attack chain even when they’re using legitimate software, and then quickly restores the business to its default state. SES-C offers excellent computer resilience against determined enemies with Incident Prediction.
Eric Chien, Fellow, Symantec Threat Hunter Team, Broadcom, said,” The enthusiasm for Incident Prediction came from how GenAI can “predict” the second word when generating text. Incident Prediction can anticipate the next four or five possible steps an attacker will take in a customer’s environment, destroy them, and then return to normalcy right away using our substantial assault chain repository and threat intelligence using innovative AI and ML. In consequence, Incident Prediction immediately determines mitigation strategies for security analysts since they no longer have to triage the event.
Device analysts and additional security professionals can use Incident Prediction to:
- Automate adversaries ‘ mitigation and disrupting: Based on previous attack designs, automatically determine the next steps a particular attacker will likely take. Then, it uses prevention measures to halt those activities that were predicted, preventing the majority of attackers from progressing before they can achieve their end goal of encrypting or exfiltrating information.
- Reduce the workload for Device analysts: Difficult to physically triage alerts, analyze attack sequences, and devise mitigation plans. It instantly handles this, allowing experts to concentrate on other security issues.
- Avoid business impact: Incident Prediction blocks limiting impact on routine business processes by presenting particular, detailed attacker behaviors. Common-day, but implausible prevention measures, such as shutting down the channel, removing user access, or reimagining machines, are largely unnecessary.
- Enhancing Symantec Adaptive Protection, which recognizes and advises blocking low-prevalence behaviors and applications to actively reduce the attack surface, is a good idea. It assists in closing the “doors” open to intruders and their typical attack strategies.
The use of reputable software by scammers, as well as the strategy employed in LOTL attacks, is on the rise. Almost all malware players use LOTL assaults, according to” Ransomware 2025: A Stable and Frequent Threat,” a brand-new report from the Symantec Threat Hunter Team. Additionally, they are used by nation-state actors to eavesdrop on or eavesdrop on information. And not just the wealthy are victims; middle-market companies are also becoming more and more targeted. Security professionals can use Incident Prediction to have more granular control over their security rather than re-imaging the entire machine or changing everyone’s credentials when an attack is discovered by blocking only the attacker’s most likely behaviors to lower the risk of business disruption and enable a streamlined incident response – as attacks happen – all without additional cost.
Broadcom is committed to offering enterprise-grade security to all businesses, whether they have a mature SOC or a small security team. Incident Prediction fulfills this promise, claiming that any organization can improve its Enterprise Security Group’s ( ESG) capabilities regardless of sophistication. Every organization today needs to empower its security teams to advance more quickly, more effectively, and more resiliently against highly sophisticated APT groups. They now have a computerized system that can detect, act, and help them defend against cyberattacks more quickly and affordably with Incident Prediction.
