Security Operations

Security Operations – Service Offerings

Security operations involve the continuous monitoring, detection, response, and management of security incidents, ensuring organizations can respond to threats in real-time and maintain a strong defense against potential attacks.

    • Implementing compliance-driven log retention policies
  •  Log Analysis & Threat Correlation
    • Correlate logs to detect suspicious patterns or anomalies
    • Integrate threat intelligence for proactive detection

4. Threat Intelligence and Analysis

Objective: Leverage actionable intelligence to inform security decisions.

  •  Threat Intelligence Integration
    • Integrating open-source and commercial threat intelligence feeds
    • Automating threat intelligence sharing and correlation across tools
  •  Threat Intelligence Reporting
    • Timely and relevant intelligence reports on emerging threats
    • Vulnerability and exploit information to prioritize patching

    • Identify and track sophisticated, long-term threat actors

5. Vulnerability Management & Patch Management

Objective: Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

  •  Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment
    • Continuous scanning of systems for known vulnerabilities
    • Identification of misconfigurations and patch gaps
  •  Patch Management
    • Automated patch deployment or advisory services for critical systems
    • Validation and reporting of patch effectiveness
  • Risk Prioritization & Mitigation
    • Risk-based prioritization of vulnerabilities (CVSS scoring)
    • Zero-day vulnerability management and remediation strategies

6. Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Objective: Secure endpoints and detect malicious activities on devices.

  •  EDR Deployment & Management
    • Endpoint protection deployment (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, CarbonBlack)
    • Continuous monitoring of endpoint activity for suspicious behavior
  •  Incident Response on Endpoints
    • Forensic analysis of endpoint security incidents
    • Endpoint isolation and remediation during active attacks
  •  Behavioral Analytics & Machine Learning
    • Identifying zero-day and polymorphic threats using behavioral indicators

7. Cloud Security Operations

Objective: Extend security operations to cloud environments for comprehensive protection.

  •  Cloud Security Monitoring
    • Real-time monitoring for AWS, Azure, GCP environments
    • Cloud-native threat detection tools (e.g., CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Center)
  •  Cloud SIEM Integration
    • Integration of cloud logs with SIEM for centralized analysis
    • Custom rule creation for cloud-based attacks (e.g., misconfigurations, insider threats)
  •  Cloud Compliance Audits
    • Ensure cloud environments are secure and compliant (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA)

8. Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

Objective: Provide end-to-end detection and response with minimal internal resources.
