Firewall Management
Effective Firewall management requires a high level of expertise, experience and knowledge. In order to protect against malicious activity these security devices must be scoped, setup, installed, patched and regularly reviewed. The service provided by Secur can be depended on to reduce the cost of managing and owning security infrastructure whilst ensuring secure controls are applied throughout the network.
Security threats such as WannaCry could have been prevented through effective perimeter and internal security. It’s vital staff managing firewalls understand the threat landscape and are aware of what services carry the most risk. This can ensure businesses are advised on best security practise with constantly changing requirements and environments.
Secur’s firewall management provides 24/7 support, configuration and advice. When this service is aligned with SOC Monitor, Secur can offer a complete service when threats are detected to immediately respond and counter any threats.
IDS/IPS Management
Secur’s IDS/IPS offerings provide visibility and active protection at both the network perimeter and also key points of the network to ensure data and key services are protected and run effectively.
Threat intelligence gathered through Secur’s honeypot network provides information that can be transferred into custom IDS/IPS rules or tuning of current rules/policies. The Secur SOC -Manage team also tune devices according to the specific requirements of the network they monitor.
Effectively managing and monitoring IPS/IDS devices can often be overwhelming for internal IT teams with constant tuning and monitoring of alerts required. Secur’s SOC manage team can act as a security partner to assist overwhelmed Internal IT teams and offer expert response and remediation advice where required.
Networking Infrastructure
Secur SOC Manage employees have several years’ experience in network design, configuration and support with switches, routers and wireless products from Cisco, HP, Juniper, Nexus and Meraki. The SOC Manage team can scope requirements ranging from new greenfield sites to upgrades in capacity or single core switches.
Cloud Based Multi-Factor Authentication
Secur utilise SafeNet products to offer clients a secure authentication mechanism. With password brute force and weak passwords still a regular method of compromise two-factor authentication is an effective mitigation. The new requirements in PCI 3.2 also state any personnel to systems handling card data to use multi-factor authentication. Secur SOC Manage staff can offer best practise advice, installation and ongoing configuration assistance.
PCI Environment Management
Complete PCI environments are managed through the utilisation of several tools to offer patching, authentication, reporting, documentation, security management, vulnerability scanning and remediation. Secur SOC Manage can offer services that cover specific PCI security requirements such as firewall management to full PCI environment management.
The evolution of SIEM software
As SIEM software has transformed over time, the core components continue to provide value, while new, innovative technology — such as automation and new analytical techniques — has been built on top of the traditional SIEM foundation to provide the most comprehensive approach to reducing risk across an organization.
This evolution of capabilities and features is often referred to as “next-gen SIEM.” The deployment of a next-gen SIEM solution delivers enhanced methods for securing data and solidifying operational excellence. In “An Evaluator’s Guide to NextGen SIEM,” SANS provides specific criteria for advancing to the next evolution of SIEM technology.
Why use a managed SOC?
Organizations that are serious about their cybersecurity posture may quickly realize how significant the cost will be and time necessary to hire security experts, negotiate and purchase security software and infrastructure, install and configure the SOC, and then begin working to monitor for threats.
So, when organizations are considering the barriers to launching their own SOC, the following issues may be top of mind:
- You have limited internal security and/or SOC expertise – Managed SOC providers are experts in managing the security operations of organizations from all around the world in every industry vertical.
- There’s not enough budget for capital expenditures – With SOC as a Service, the capital expenditure normally involved with establishing a SOC is traded for a single, simple monthly operating expense.
- It takes too long to establish your own SOC – The time normally associated with building a SOC team, obtaining infrastructure, and licensing and implementing software is offset by the SOC as a Service provider’s already-running and manned SOC.
- An internal SOC may not improve the organization’s security posture – Mixing cutting edge threat intelligence, seasoned cybersecurity analysts, and state-of-the-art security monitoring and response orchestration solutions, an organization’s security posture – both on-premises and in the cloud – can immediately be enhanced the moment the service is implemented.
- An internal SOC may not be cost-effective – A managed SOC offering can be far less expensive than what it would cost an organization to stand up a SOC themselves. In many cases, the monthly cost for SOC as a Service is less than the cost of just the internal security analysts that would need to be hired (let alone the cost of establishing the SOC itself). At a fraction of the cost of an internal SOC, SOC as a Service is a cost-effective choice.
