We have now entered the era whereby more and more security vendors admit the fact that traditional security controls are not adequate for preventing advanced cyber-attacks. Contact Encode In this new era of “insecurity”, organizations of virtually any size must acquire the necessary capabilities to be able to timely detect and respond to the inevitable security breaches, in order to minimize business impacts and ensure operational survivability. For organizations that want to establish such capabilities in-house, Encode is uniquely positioned to assist them in kick starting their Cyber-Security Operations Centre (SOC), or even building it from the ground up, as well as enhancing and transforming their existing SOC to a next generation Cyber Defense Centre. This is accomplished by harnessing Encode’s experience in providing 24x7 Cyber Operations & Intelligence services, cutting-edge technology and a team of experts with unique offensive and defensive expertise. Benefits World-class Cyber Defense Center Organizations can benefit from Encode’s field-proven Cyber-SOC blueprint, complete set of best practices on SOC organization and processes and most importantly, from Encode’s Security Analytics & Response Orchestration technology for establishing the all too critical cyber defense capabilities, ensuring minimum time to value and maximum return on investment (ROI). More than a set of best practices Traditional Security operations Centers are not built from the ground up according to industry standards or are largely based on the assumption that policies are being followed. With Encode’s field-proven SOC blueprint, advanced security controls and Enorasys SOCStreams Response Orchestration platform, SOC processes are enforced, automated and streamlined by technology. Unprecedented detection and targeted response capabilities Even world-class Security Operations Centers are struggling with detecting advanced cyber threats and targeted cyber attacks. Encode can seamlessly integrate our Enorasys Security Analytics and SOCStreams systems in your SOC and arm your security analysts with unmatched early warning and targeted response capabilities against targeted cyber-attacks and “Advanced Persistent Threats” (APTs). Key Features Use case knowledge base Tap into a knowledge base of predefined use cases and corresponding detection rule-sets. Furthermore such use cases can be preloaded into Enorasys SOCStreams Response Orchestration platform and matched with triggered alerts from the security monitoring infrastructure, providing security analysts with a centralized repository of the background of a security event, clear steps to follow for verification, recommended actions and flow enforcement. Security monitoring platform optimisation The security monitoring platform is one of the most important technology components. However many organizations acquiring such technology do not utilize the platform’s capabilities at full and in many cases the technology itself becomes a major stumbling block for providing even the basic security monitoring. Our expertise in use case development, deployment and operations of security monitoring platforms allows us to assist you in fine tuning such systems and enable you to maintain operational levels. Security Operations Orchestration Efficient security monitoring is the ability to enforce streamlined processes for incident handling and security monitoring while providing the necessary tools and platforms to achieve targeted response. Multiple technologies might be required to provide the necessary information and context for assisting the operators to evaluate and respond to potential security incidents and not get lost in the diverse data and information presented to them. With Enorasys SOCStreams Response Orchestration and its Adaptive Threat Response engine integration in your SOC, security operations are enhanced in a very short period to a maturity level where actual value can be achieved from the security monitoring process. Organisational structure Having policies and procedures is not enough as the key players in case of a security incident are people. The right organizational structure and clearly defined roles and responsibilities are essential to be able to respond in case of an emergency. Each key player from the technical team to higher management must know their role and how to react in such an event. Proper communications policies must be in place and define what information or data can be shared with different parties, whether external or internal. Training and skills development Training is provided by skilled security analysts who have been exposed into real day to day operations of a SOC and have a proven record of incident handling training provided by internationally known organizations. Offensive training is also provided in order to provide the basis of understanding how a potential adversary is operating. SOC Key performance indicators Without the appropriate metrics in place it is not possible to monitor the effectiveness and maturity of the SOC. The only way to develop and mature the security monitoring capability is by constant review of key performance indicators to identify where deficiencies exist and optimize the relevant process. Our SOC blueprint and orchestration platform comes with a plethora of building KPIs making your SOC performance measurable from day one.
