AI Driven Approach: Device Classification and Zero Trust Policies

Traditional policy-based management is becoming obsolete, giving way to AI-driven policy recommendation engines. We want to make it easy for our customers to gain accurate insights to reduce their attack surface and secure every asset, enforced on the networking and security products they’ve already invested in.

Ordr’s policy recommendation engine harnesses an extensive collection of device intelligence and behavioral models amassed in the Ordr data lake over many years. This curated knowledge base leverages machine learning and empowers Ordr to effectively categorize, compare, and analyze millions of devices operating in similar environments. Key capabilities of our Policy Recommendation Engine include:

• Behavioral Analysis: Analyzing vast datasets to identify patterns, anomalies, and trends in device behavior.
• Context-Aware Policy Generation: Generating context-aware policy recommendations tailored to the specific needs of a customer’s environment.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptive Policies: Adapting insights from ongoing network activities to manage policies in real time.
• Scalable Policy Comparison: Efficiently analyzing and comparing policies across millions of devices in real time.
• Proactive Anomaly Detection: Identifying deviations from established norms to enable policy adjustments before potential threats escalate.
• Threat Intelligence Integration: Applying information from threat intelligence feeds to enhance the engine’s ability to identify and respond to emerging threats.

2024: Our Time to Shine

Ordr continuously invests in our AI capabilities to provide easy data access and search capabilities using generative AI techniques and the fruits of those investments will be made manifest in our product roadmap and roll-out in the coming months. That is why I look forward to 2024. The stage is set for another Ordr grand performance. Our team, fueled by passion, a customer-first philosophy ingrained in our DNA, and a commitment to excellence, will continue to deliver bigger and better ways for our customers to manage their expanding asset inventories and attack surfaces.

We stand at the right place and time, armed with the best product in the industry and a great team. Together, we embark on a journey where success is not just a goal but a certainty. Here’s to the symphony of passion, the harmony of customer-first values, and the crescendo of excellence that will define Ordr’s triumphs in 2024.
