Watching the Gates
Unfortunately, most organizations rely on their end users to detect cybercrime. While this system certainly informs IT about an issue, it is often too late once the end users are seeing an attack.
Ransomware relies on stealth tactics to sweep a network before committing to the full network encryption. If a user gets the ransom message, chances are that the entire network is already encrypted.
This is where our Incident Detection Cyber security services can come into play. We watch for indicators in the environment that are unseen to end users.
Our analysts respond quickly to threats and provide peace of mind that you always have a skilled team watching the gates.
Detecting an Attack
Incident detection can be the most difficult part of a security stack. The defense-in-depth model exists to prevent attacks via redundant controls, but the detection aspect is often overlooked by security teams.
Never assume that prevention techniques are 100% effective.
Attackers do just as much research as security professionals on the newest prevention tools and techniques. Incident detection is a different ballgame. Attackers have to learn a network from the outside.
Our engineers are able to use baselining, advanced monitoring tools, and experience to predict the most likely indicators of a major attack.
We monitor for subtle indicators that most attackers would completely neglect to control. For example, a specific alert in our SIEM/SOC services would watch for an account being used in an unusual fashion on a network.
By baselining what is “normal” in an environment, we can then detect attacks at a high rate of success. Even network health monitoring can show computers running at a high average usage, indicating possible malware.
Our team works with existing IT and cybersecurity staff to develop a customized solution to monitor for cybercrime most effectively within your network.
