8Layers offers a comprehensive Cloud Identity Threat Detection and Response (CITDR) solution designed to protect organizations from data breaches by strengthening their identity security. The platform covers the entire Cloud Identities Incident Response Lifecycle, from preparation and detection to analysis and response. Key features include reducing the attack vector surface, ensuring compliance with standards like CISA and ISO27001, real-time detection of privilege escalations and anomalous user activities, enrichment of alerts with internal and external data, user behavior analytics (UEBA) for proactive breach prevention, dynamic risk scoring, and entity profiling for activity comprehensibility. 8Layers aims to optimize analyst efforts by providing high-valued detections with low false positives and enabling automated reactions to reduce dwell time and MTTR to near zero. Their business model is likely SaaS or a subscription-based service, offering AI-directed detection and fast, transparent integration. They emphasize completing the SOC with a CITDR solution, offering audit cost savings, reducing SIEM load, and ultimately saving money by preventing breaches.
