Availability – A Necessity

Many organisations regardless of industry, location or size are under increasing commercial pressure to ensure their business objectives and strategies are met and exceeded through ‘always available’ on-premise and cloud infrastructures.

The implications of any disruption to service may be significant which could result in financial loss and/or reputational damage.

 

The additional impact of COVID-19 commercially and for staffing, has attracted a new wave of cyber criminals seeking weaknesses across all organisations.

This adds even more complexity as not only are you trying to ensure that your infrastructures are readily available and secure, you must also be prepared and able to respond effectively to cyber breaches.

It is these breaches, which for some are inevitable, that are crippling IT infrastructures and services every day – now is the right time to invest in cyber security operational services that are readily available, flexible and cost effective.

Safeguard your organisation

Providing an effective MDR service takes time – you have to listen to the challenges your customers are facing, you have take guidance from market leading technology vendors and analysts, and invest in the right people, technology and training.

Over the past twenty-four months, we have been working alongside our customers, strategic partners (including Palo Alto Networks) and building on our security personnel to increase and enhance our delivery of specialised MDR services that help organisations overcome the common challenges associated with continually protecting against and preventing cyber-attacks.

Common challenges

  • Insufficient budget, limited resources and lack of time to build their own SOC.
  • Limited funds available to invest into the right security tools and expertise.
  • Limited or no trained/certified cyber security experts on call and ready to respond to a cyber-incident 24x7x365.
  • No real picture of cyber threats, whether endpoint, network and/or cloud related.
  • How to effectively respond to a cyber-security incident, who to call if a breach occurs.
  • Understanding what could a ‘worst case’ cyber security incident look like for them.
  • Inability to contain and limit the impact of a breach.
  • Selecting the right cyber security partner who can address their needs whose services are affordable and value for money.

Stop attacks with the power of KHIPU’s SOC

Our ‘Always Available’ SOC service provides 24x7x365 advanced cyber defence across endpoints, networks and the cloud – proactively identifying and blocking malware, ransomware, file and file-less attacks by focusing on five key areas; Identify, Alert, Investigate, Mitigate and Continuous Improvement.

  1. Identify attacks across network segments: Endpoint, networks and the cloud.
  2. Alert all personnel on incidents based upon severity
  3. Investigate and analyse the root cause and impact of the incident.
  4. Mitigate and stop the attack working in partnership with the customer
  5. Continuous Improvement – Adjust and improve operations to keep up with changing and emerging threats.

A Flexible and Dynamic Service 

Providing a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service is not a “one size fits all” approach, it has to be flexible as each organisation has differing requirements, environments and priorities. This is key to our service, as our offering is flexible ranging from continuous alerting and notification only, to root cause analysis, response and mitigation – whatever the requirement is, our SOC MDR service platform can deliver what our customers need.

Managed Detection and Response Services

Our SOC is staffed by our own permanent employees, who are certified and experienced cyber security professionals – available 24x7x365 to provide the following services: 

  • Threat Visibility: Detect attacks across network segments; Endpoints, networks and the cloud.

  • Detection, investigation and root cause analysis of sophisticated threat activity at all stages of the attack lifecycle.
  • AI Powered Behavioural analytics: Continual user and endpoint behaviour analysis with anomaly attack and root cause detection.
  • Threat Hunting Services: Identify advanced threats, MITRE ATT@CK based hunting, on-going investigation.
  • Incident Response Services: Available 24x7x365 with guaranteed SLA’s.
  • Triage and Investigation Services

Managed Firewall Services

Many organisations have limited resources or budget to effectively manage their NextGen Firewall environment, this can often lead to:

  • Out of date configurations and software releases.
  • Security risks.
  • Delays in responding to change requests.
  • Inability to leverage the full capabilities of their NextGen Firewall investment.
  • Unable to effectively respond to and investigate breaches.

As a Palo Alto Networks certified MSSP, our SOC team provide flexible managed services, tailored to meet any requirements. Whether we take on full responsibility of the day to day operations and management of your NextGen Firewall infrastructure, or as an extension of your team, all tasks are ‘shared’ between both organisations – we have reduced costs, streamlined operations, improved efficiencies and cyber security postures.

Therefore, enabling you to focus on strategic projects and initiatives without the worry of managing your perimeter security environment.
