The Connected Startup Episode 2: Icite

This episode of The Connected Startup explores how Icite, a multi-data-source identity threat detection and response platform, uses graph technology to solve the problem of identity-based security threats that traditional tools miss.

What it covers

The Problem with Traditional Security Tools
Wes Mullins, former MDR CTO, observed that standalone SIEM, EDR, and cloud tools failed to detect identity attacks due to their single-surface approach.
The Insight Behind Icite
Icite was built on the insight that identity is multi-surface and inherently relational, making graph modeling the ideal solution.
Graph Technology as a Solution
A graph uniquely models relationships between people, permissions, and systems, enabling detection of threats across multiple data sources.
Multi-Source Data Integration
Icite joins event logs, configuration state, and relationship data into a unified query surface for comprehensive threat visibility.
Enabling Rapid Custom Detections
Security teams can build custom threat detections in minutes by leveraging the graph's structure and unified data.
The Moment of Realization
Wes Mullins realized a graph was the right tool when he saw identity attacks slipping through isolated security tools.
