what is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Root cause analysis (RCA) is the process of discovering the origin/root cause for security events to identify vulnerabilities and deploy strategic measures to effectively contain and limit the impact within pre-defined risk tolerance. Looking beyond the superficial cause and effect, RCA can provide insights to understand threat proliferation patterns and help guide the response and recovery efforts.

Cyber-attackers are known to exploit common infection vectors and vulnerabilities to compromise defenses, gain access and maintain persistence within the organization's network.

Bitdefender RCA can highlight affected processes and compromised vulnerabilities that contribute to a security breach. It provides security teams with the necessary information for putting the pieces of the puzzle together and diagnosing the root cause, thereby stopping any ongoing incident that may leave the organization vulnerable to additional attacks.
