Threat Management Solutions

Business Speed + Threat Environment Complexity = Reactive Measures

Network connections, apps, websites, social media, mobile, email and more – security threats come in from every direction. Adopting IoT, virtual environments and cloud applications are probably stretching your security program because it wasn’t built to align with your business operations. And then third-party open-source components add even more complexity, and “who does what?” in IT complicates the task of tracking issues.

“It’s nearly impossible to detect and manage things across this ever-changing environment. You can’t fix what you can’t find, and hackers are getting better at hiding every day.”

Buying more tools as a reaction to specific threats can make integration and remediation more difficult. It’s a growing problem, and it doesn’t help bridge security and IT operations, reduce risk, or communicate ROI to the board.

It’s Complex. Reactive. And You’re Not Ready.

Here’s why your organization may not be aware of its complete risk picture from threats and vulnerabilities.

Infrastructure complexity

Body

A growing and shifting attack surface, maturing attacker capabilities, new policies and technologies (that may not play nice with legacy tools), and not knowing who’s responsible for what and how, means lack of visibility to threats, significantly increasing the chance of a breach.

Title

A reactive, compliance-driven approach

Body

Your organization may be reactive to threats, opting for a tactical or compliance-driven approach, which can increase the frequency of attacks and recovery time.

Title

Simple lack of readiness

Body

The ability to quickly detect and respond to an incident dramatically affects how much damage can be done to your organization’s data, environment, reputation and financial well-being. You must have an incident response plan that you practice and hone as your organization grows.

Let's Proactively Solve Your Threat Management Challenges

Effective threat management is about knowing what your attack surface is comprised of, understanding where security gaps exist and what assets are most appealing to threat actors, and honing the ability to detect – while ensuring a quick and effective response.

It’s a stable four-legged stool. Remove any one leg … and it collapses.

As your organization evolves, new technologies and policies must be integrated strategically, not just deployed tactically (and perhaps even haphazardly) and compliance should be the result of the plan, not its entire purpose.

With Optiv’s holistic threat management approach, your organization can discover strengths and weaknesses, identify vulnerabilities and malicious activity faster, respond rapidly, reduce threat actor dwell time, remediate issues and naturally build security into infrastructure and applications from the start— ensuring a stronger security posture.

Do More Than Test – Respond.

Unknown weaknesses in your software, hardware and end-user environments are a playground for cyberattackers. Regular testing is essential, but your organization benefits even more from training and resources that go beyond testing. Predict and preempt attacks, preparing your response before the hackers are even out of bed.

Establishing and maintaining an active defense of your assets can be daunting, and it’s critical to know that your current controls are working and that your bases are covered.

Our attack and penetration services emulate sophisticated hacker strategies to uncover vulnerabilities and generate insight toward remediation. Elite ethical hackers. Forward-thinking researchers. Veteran cyber threat pros. These teams employ advanced attack tools to conduct network penetration testing that helps you identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, protect your network, your assets, your business and your people.

Purple Teaming – Inside-Out

Collaboration is essential to detecting and preventing insider threats. Our purple teaming exercises:

Unite subject matter expertise from offensive operators and incident responders
Demonstrate how adversarial TTPs can be employed in your environment
Evaluate the ability to identify those TTPs
Workshop possible responses

Because our exercises are human-driven, we can iterate scenarios on the fly, mimicking the creativity you’d expect from actual hackers. They’re always determined and sometimes may be influenced or supported by a sophisticated third party. They might even be emotionally compromised and irrational or actively destructive. We can work through all these scenarios and a lot more. We’re battle-tested and deeply experienced with the frameworks and mentalities driving modern purple teaming. Listen in below.

You’ll discover how we approach Purple Teaming (it’s not typical and that’s the value), hear a breakdown of execution, get into some technical weeds, enjoy some war stories and end with a Q&A.

Incident Response & Remediation

Incident Response (IR) is the actions your organization takes to manage what happens after a security breach or cyberattack. Typical activities in incident response include identifying/containing/eradicating the issue and recovering the impacted systems.

Optiv can help you respond and recover with advice, guidance and hands-on expertise. Our services include securing the scene, defining the scope of the compromise, collecting and analyzing data related to the event, and issuing a report documenting the findings. In the event of an incident, we can help uncover the attackers’ actions, detail the scope of the compromise, identify steps to mitigate or limit data loss, and secure your business against future attacks.

Post-Incident Assessment

You faced a breach and responded quickly. Check. But are you sure you did things right? That’s the question, and it can be a tough one to answer. Our post-incident assessment reviews the data and provides a high-level summary to tell you if the incident and information were handled optimally. With this you can offer full transparency to your clients (and board), ensuring their confidence even after a breach.
