• Identifies systems susceptible to known vulnerabilities, or that may not have antivirus installed and/or operational.
• Identifies indicators of malware-based compromise, and enables orchestrated responses that can be automated or manually invoked to isolate infected systems and block malicious domains.
• Monitors and stores events from antivirus solutions that could indicate a compromise, or attempt to disable antivirus software.
• Monitors for changes to Office 365 policies including Information Management, and more.
• Continuously updated threat intelligence ensures that USM is operating with the latest correlation directives, vulnerability signatures, IDS rules, reports, guided threat response and more.
• Captures and enables monitoring of logon success and failures to systems, security devices, cloud environments, and more.
• Identifies where new user and administrator accounts are created and deleted.
• Monitors public and dark web sources for the trade or communication of stolen credentials.
• Identifies use of default system accounts on Windows machines.
• File Integrity Monitoring can detect changes and access to critical system and application files, and Windows Registry entries.

§1164.308(a)(6) - Security Incident Procedures
Implement policies and procedures to prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations.

§164.308(a)(6)(ii) - Response and Reporting

• Correlates events to detects threats
• Generates alarms on threats, classifying them across a kill-chain taxonomy to inform the risk level of that threat.
• Enables threat investigation and provides context to determine the nature of the threat.
• Provides recommended incident response guidance to contain or remediate the threat.
• Enables labels to be applied to alarms.
• Security orchestration and response capabilities enable manual or automated incident response, driving actions with leading security and IT operations tools including Cisco Umbrella, Carbon Black, Palo Alto Firewalls, and more.
• Enables creation of incident tickets within popular solutions like ServiceNow, directly from within the USM Anywhere console.
• Continuously updated threat intelligence ensures that USM is operating with the latest correlation directives, vulnerability signatures, IDS rules, reports, guided threat response and more.
