“A security operations center (SOC), also called an information security operations center (ISOC), is a centralized location where an information security team monitors, detects, analyzes and responds to cybersecurity incidents, typically on a 24/7/365 basis.” – Splunk
Krypteia SOC Capabilities:
- Provides an uninterrupted monitoring and analysis for suspicious activity.
- Improved incident response times and practices.
- Decreased gaps between time of compromise and mean time to detect (MTTD).
- Centralized software and hardware assets for a more holistic security approach.
- Effective communication and collaboration.
- Minimized costs associated with cybersecurity incidents.
- Customers and employees who feel more comfortable sharing sensitive information.
- More transparency and control over security operations.
- Established chain of control for data, which is needed if an organization is expected to prosecute those attributed to a cybercrime.
The benefits of a Krypteia SOC:
- Our SOC provides continuous protection via uninterrupted monitoring to detect the first signs of anomalous activity. Attacks don’t only occur Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. We monitor for potential vulnerabilities around the clock to catch threats at all hours.
- Our SOC provides quick and effective response because we continuously monitor for threats. This decreased the amount of time elapsed between when the compromise first occurred and mean time to detection (MTTD). Should anomalous activity be detected, our SOC analysts investigate and verify the event is indeed an attack before working to contain it. If it is indeed a threat actor, we begin Incident Response (IR) procedures to determine the severity of the threats, eradicate them and remediate any ill effects.
- Our SOC provides a decreased cost of breaches and operations by minimizing the amount of time a threat actor lurks in your network, which in turn decreases the potential costs that may incur via data loss, lawsuits or business reputation damage. The longer a threat actor remains in a system, the more potential damage can be done to your company.
- Our SOC provides more than threat prevention and detecting incidents. The analysis and threat hunting conducted by our SOC team helps prevent attacks from occurring in the first place. We provide increased visibility and control over security systems, enabling your organization to stay ahead of potential threat actors and issues.
- Our SOC provides security expertise as it consists of a SOC Manager, Incident Responder (IR) and Security Analyst(s) (SA), as well as other specialized positions, such as Security Engineers, Threat Hunters, Forensic Investigators and Compliance Auditors. All of them having a diverse set of skills, which, when combined with those of other SOC employees, is instrumental to detect, remediate, analyze and learn from threats.
- Our team members also have a broad knowledge of tried-and-true technologies for threat detection and prevention, such as SIEM (security information and event management), Behavioral threat analytics, AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning), and cloud access security brokers, as well as the most advanced threat detection techniques.
- Our SOC is also well versed in communication and collaboration (not only within the team itself, but also with the organization as a whole). Our SOC team will educate employees, third-party contractors, clients and more about potential threats through security awareness training programs. Our SOC also shares security insights with C-level executives and management, business leaders and department heads to help company leaders calculate potential risks to evaluate if the risks should be accepted or if a new policy or control should be adopted to mitigate them.
- Our SOC monitoring capabilities are integral to enterprise compliance, especially following regulations that require particular security monitoring functions and mechanisms, such as GDPR and CCPA.
- Our SOC becomes an indicator to your employees, clients, customers, and third-party stakeholders to take data security and privacy seriously. This helps your business, employees and customers feel more comfortable sharing data. The more serious you take the security and privacy of your data, the greater trust you will earn from your constituents. The improved business reputation from us being your SOC can potentially increase recommendations from current clients and prospective ones.
Offensive Security Team (aka Red Team)
“A group of people authorized and organized to emulate a potential adversary’s attack or exploitation capabilities against an enterprise’s security posture. The Red Team’s objective is to improve enterprise cybersecurity by demonstrating the impacts of successful attacks and by demonstrating what works for the defenders (i.e., Blue Team) in an operational environment. Also known as Cyber Red Team.” – CSRC NIST
Defensive Security Team (aka Blue Team)
” A group of individuals that conduct operational network vulnerability evaluations and provide mitigation techniques to customers who have a need for an independent technical review of their network security posture. The Blue Team identifies security threats and risks in the operating environment, and in cooperation with the customer, analyzes the network environment and its current state of security readiness. Based on the Blue Team findings and expertise, they provide recommendations that integrate into an overall community security solution to increase the customer’s cybersecurity readiness posture. Often times a Blue Team is employed by itself or prior to a Red Team employment to ensure that the customer’s networks are a secure as possible before having the Red Team test the systems.” – CSRC NIST
