Security Advisory
Simply achieving compliance to meet regulatory requirements does little to mitigate attacks and protect critical infrastructure and information. Organisations should move away from traditional compliance-driven security, toward a risk based approach. Implementation of controls, and adherence to guiding principles should rank higher than simply ticking boxes for compliance.
Our approach will provide a prioritised, flexible, and cost-effective framework for the protection and resilience of your critical infrastructure and most valuable assets.
Threat Intelligence
Cyber criminals innovate faster than most commercial businesses. Traditional point solutions no longer protect against highly motivated attackers.
It is crucial that your organisation maintains a solution set that aggregates, correlates, and facilitates rapid analysis of threat data from multiple sources, to support defensive actions in real-time. Your staff require evidence-based knowledge, including context, mechanisms, indicators, implications, and actionable advice, about an existing or emerging threat to your organisation.
Insider Threat Management
Most organisations build their primary security mechanisms to protect against the external attacker, not the trusted employee. A disgruntled employee often understands the protections in place, and is usually aware of the location of sensitive information. To counter this threat advanced behaviour analytics, including anomaly detection and automated link analysis must be implemented.
We help you implement Insider Threat Management, identifying high risk activities and high risk employees before they act. With continuous monitoring in place you will receive ongoing alerts to potential data theft/misuse, fraud, and other damaging activities.
IDENTITY & ACCESS ANALYTICS
Most organisations are now challenged with managing millions of combinations of access privileges across their employee base and beyond. IT departments are struggling to keep their access related risk in check. It is not uncommon to find access still in place for many employees that have long departed their organisation for roles elsewhere.
We revolutionise the way organisations control access to systems and applications. By implementing sophisticated algorithms we will help you automatically detect and identify risk, alerting where clean-up or attention is required.
With the right level of analytics in place you can view user identity, access, and activity data along with security alerts in a single view. With logging you can easily review historical usage, make peer comparisons, and conduct investigations with rapid outcomes.
Privileged Account Management
Users with elevated permissions are the primary targets for attack. Managing these accounts has become complex and differentiating good from bad activity is difficult.
We help you automatically identify privileged users, service, and share accounts, and monitor them for abnormal usage associated with both attack risk and compliance requirements.
Network Security Analytics
Almost every company we meet has made significant investment in one or many SIEM solutions. Most now find themselves with exponentially growing costs, and an explosion of unmanageable alerts. Traditional SIEM solutions were purpose build for large scale event collection and correlation, but do not deliver the advanced security analytics demanded today.
We implement SIEM solutions that meet your regulatory requirements, dramatically reduce cost, cut down noise, provide zero-day detection, and leverage advanced analytics for data monitoring and fraud detection.
Vulnerability Management
Attackers will never stop creating exploits to take advantage of your vulnerabilities. Organisations today need a process in place to continuously find and patch these vulnerabilities. We help you with the processes, toolsets, and rapid remediation as holes that can be used during an attack are identified. It is imperative to become aware of vulnerabilities immediately, and it is equally important to effectively prioritise remediation by likelihood of use by an attacker. Much of this process should be automated.
Advanced SIEM
When your organisation is under attack, speed and precision matter. A well implemented and managed SIEM solution will operate as your team’s central nervous system to alert and enact countermeasures when threats loom.
We help you maximise what can be the largest investment in your security toolset, optimising your staff’s time, streamlining workflow, and protecting your organisation
Penetration Testing
Knowing your vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited is imperative to the ongoing improvement of your security posture. Our penetration test teams will simulate real-world attacks on your organisation, from the technology to the people using social engineering and manufactured phishing attacks. We carefully document the security levels or your organisation and highlight strengthening recommendations.
Data Exfiltration Analytics
One of the most common reasons for attack is theft of data. Traditional DLP monitoring tools are notorious for producing massive streams of alerts that end up being ignored.
We help you implement solutions that deliver real time monitoring and analysis of sensitive data access at both the source application and data repositories. You should expect to automatically detect high-risk data access and usage for real-time investigation and access removal. Correct implementation will reduce your organisation’s exposure to data loss and the ensuing cost of brand damage and loss of IP.
