Detect and respond earlier to threats with digital threat management

Identifying a real security threat to your business is like trying to spot a needle in a haystack.

You’re dealing with an ever-changing threat landscape, a myriad of intelligence feeds and a shortage of skilled cyber analysts.

To get ahead of the attackers you need actionable threat intelligence. By anticipating attacks you’ll be able to understand the business impact, react quickly and maintain key business operations.

The scale of our network means we’re uniquely placed to gather rich information from a variety of sources. Our SOC experts use this data, alongside proven analytical tools, to give you early visibility of cyber attacks and advise on the best response strategy.

A Zero Trust security mindset is essential to protecting increasingly complex modern compute estates against attacks. Micro-segmentation is a critical component of Zero Trust.

Our Managed Micro-Segmentation Security service lets you restrict an attacker’s lateral movement by easily segmenting your network, reducing the attack surface.

Our Managed Micro-Segmentation Security service also:

• gives you real-time visibility into application behaviour and connections
• improves breach containment by preventing lateral movement
• secures your critical assets and applications by testing policies before use
• reduces the risk of software vulnerabilities by identifying attack pathways
• avoids network issues with expert management.

As the need for bandwidth and networks expands and access to cloud services increases, there’s been an explosion in the number of connections between business networks and the internet.

Trying to protect this complex environment with traditional perimeter firewalls is costly and challenging.

By embedding security controls into your existing BT UK network and your global network products, you’re able to deploy security controls and firewall capability, where and when you need it. Without the high upfront costs of hardware, you can now get a single solution to cover all your internet breakout points, including your remote workers.

Backed by our managed service wrap and enterprise-grade SLAs you can apply consistent security across your entire estate, freeing your team up to concentrate on more valuable tasks.

With any cyber-attack, the time between breach and detection is critical.

We can:

• use technical analysis to underpin the development of a threat model tailored to your specific threat environment, aligning your controls and giving you the intelligence, you need to optimise your estate’s security
• work with you to establish a strategy and architecture design that perfectly aligns with your business’ needs and direction, including recommended SOC controls and detection and response capabilities
• use offensive security measures such as war gaming, red teaming and ethical hacking, we’ll help you understand your strengths and vulnerabilities. In the event of an attack, we can support you to contain, solve and review the incident.

Hackers and cyber criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to infiltrate networks, which is putting endpoints, your last line of defence, under pressure. We can protect your endpoints from new and evolving threats before they impact your business. Our solution uses AI techniques (including behaviour analysis) coupled with time-tested prevention technologies to give you outstanding endpoint visibility and protection. With more accurate policy updates and fewer misconfigurations, you’ll improve the overall health of your security system. You’ll also be able to manage your entire endpoint security from a single cloud console which makes things far less complex.

The main principle of Cloud SIEM is MDR (Managed Detection and Response) which combines threat detection, incident response and collaborative threat intelligence. It enables security operation centre (SOC) teams to effectively detect and remediate cyber-attacks of all types; ranging from zero-day exploits to privilege escalation and ransomware, and our capabilities are delivered through a global network of SOC’s providing service 24x7x365.

Additionally, access to the Cloud SIEM dashboard provides a window into organisational risk posture with the ability to generate on-demand compliance reports with real status of organisation risk posture, people and processes around it.

Our security experts can monitor your Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) around the clock and give you detailed reports on your system’s health and performance. We can manage software upgrades and patching, proactively respond to faults and ensure your SIEM is operational 24x7, leaving your or our analysts free to focus on responding to the events the SIEM detects and flags.

Our relationship with leading security vendors means you get access to the latest technology at competitive prices.

Our Managed SIEM service helps you protect your most important assets, providing you with a dedicated team of security experts and constantly evolving technology.
