Broadcom Introduces Industry'S First Incident Prediction Capability To Stop Living-Off-The-Land Attacks

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) 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.Trained on a catalog of over 500,000 real-world attack chains built by the world-class Symantec Threat Hunter Team, Incident Prediction puts the advantage back in defenders’ hands by: predicting attackers’ behaviors, preventing their next move in the attack chain even when they’re using legitimate software, and then quickly returning the enterprise to its normal state. With Incident Prediction, SES-C delivers exceptional cyber resilience against motivated adversaries.“The inspiration for Incident Prediction came from how GenAI can ‘predict’ the next word when generating text,” said Eric Chien, Fellow, Symantec Threat Hunter Team, Broadcom. “By leveraging our extensive attack chain repository and threat intelligence using advanced AI and ML, Incident Prediction can predict the next four or five possible moves attackers will make in a customer’s environment, disrupt them, and then revert to normalcy right away. As a result, security analysts no longer need to triage the event to figure out mitigation strategies; Incident Prediction does that automatically for them.”With Incident Prediction, SOC analysts and other security professionals can:Automate mitigation and disrupt attackers : Automatically identify the next steps that a specific attacker will most likely take based on past attack patterns. It then applies mitigation policies to block those predicted actions, disrupting most attacker’s progress before they can reach their end goal of encrypting data or exfiltrating information.: Automatically identify the next steps that a specific attacker will most likely take based on past attack patterns

Inside Broadcom’S Data Simplification Strategy That Enables 26 Business Units To Use The Same Data Analytics Platform

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn MoreManaging lots of different business units with all manner of applications is generally not an easy data management task. Making sense of all that information with data analytics can be even more challenging.As Broadcom has grown through the acquisition of numerous software and hardware companies, the company has grappled with the challenge of integrating disparate data sources and systems.Particularly, When the tech giant closed its $61 billion acquisition of VMware in late 2023, it faced a monumental data integration challenge. VMware operated with 1,800 disparate applications and a staggering 187,000 product SKUs. For most acquiring companies, the playbook would be familiar — implement master data management systems, build elaborate data lakes and create complex integrations to bridge the systems while gradually migrating them over several years.Broadcom took a dramatically different approach. Instead of adding layers of complexity to manage existing systems, it wiped the slate clean
