““Silo also provides definite advantages for the Digital Forensics team,” says the Digital Forensics Unit Supervisor. “If my examiners come across an unknown site, they can securely inspect it using Silo, without worrying about infecting their local machine or the agency’s network.””

“I find [Silo] to be very beneficial if you need to take screenshots to present to a prosecutor. You can format the evidence to look exactly how it would likely appear on the suspect’s device.”

““Silo has changed the way we approach cyberthreat intelligence, fraud research and other online investigations,” concludes Thomas B. “The cloud-based management and policy framework allows control over Silos’s features and functionality, while the isolation platform as a whole keeps our investigators safe and anonymous online.”

““Now with Silo for Research deployed, we can work around the IT restrictions and can go anywhere we need to go on the internet. We do all of the threat analysis in-house now and don’t have to outsource to anyone. This reduces costs, and more importantly, allows us to make a faster determination of risk to immediately verify the threat mitigation strategies we have in place,” Thomas B. recollects.”

“A number of key features in Silo for Research have been instrumental in helping us understand the threats that pose the most risk to the enterprise,” adds Thomas B. “With thousands of alerts per month, time to intelligence is critical for making a determination and implementing an effective response. Silo is an all-in-one solution that helps us do that faster and more easily than our previous DIY solution.”

“But if it’s something novel or connected to a threat actor that we have been following for a while, we use Silo to take a closer look.”

“If they determine that we are dealing with a commodity attack, something we have seen 50 times already, it may not be worth investigating,”

“We can tell if it’s trying to steal credentials or download malware — and we can run it without the danger of infecting our machines and infrastructure,”

“Silo is the fastest way to gather intel on phishing emails,” says the firm’s head of security operations. “We go directly into the threat, get a “smell” test, download its artifacts and grab a few screenshots. We can quickly tell what we are dealing with — a run-of-the mill phishing campaign that’s been going around, or something unique, targeting specific users within our organization.”

“Silo gives us the ability to impose a layer of abstraction between us and bad actors. It gives us a chance to safely evaluate things that come our way, and it makes us more efficient and safer in doing that.”

“It’s a lot more useful when you move slowly, researching how the hackers operate and what they are thinking – as opposed to going straight to your target,”

“We can find out a lot about our adversary by following what happened right after the user clicked the malicious link. Where did they go from there? What did they see? We can uncover a lot of additional details about the bad actors’ intentions.”

“The speed is exceptional – we no longer need to make sure the VPN is on — Silo instantly places you where you need to be.”

“We really didn’t have the ability to develop proactive research practices. Today, when we need to engage, we use Silo — all of us, every single day.”

“Silo is a vital part of our operational security.”

“Most importantly, Silo allows us to conduct our research safely, with no danger to our networks and systems.”

“With Silo, we are able to disguise ourselves as individuals who have fallen for the scam, from the targeted region. That way, we can really see what the intended victims are seeing, but it’s not obvious to the fraudsters that they are being watched.”

“We are knowingly interacting with malicious websites,” says the cybersecurity manager. “Being isolated from malware is our #1 priority.”

“With Silo, our SOC analysts’ identity is hidden, even when they interact with the dark web,” adds the cybersecurity manager. “And all the data we collect helps protect our employees from future attacks.”
