Choice for Your Business

WHAT IS A SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER?

A security operations center (SOC) is one of the most critical components of any organization’s cybersecurity strategy. A SOC is a centralized command team that provides vital information about threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, and events across multiple systems and devices. It allows you to monitor and respond quickly to attacks and breaches while reducing risk. When running optimally, a SOC will minimize downtime, increase productivity, and prevent data loss.

WHAT IS A SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER?

HOW A SECURITY OPERATION CENTER WORKS

A security operations center (SOC) consists of multiple components, including incident response teams, threat intelligence analysts, forensics specialists, vulnerability scanners, and monitoring solutions. Each piece plays a crucial role in protecting your system(s). Incident responders are responsible for responding to incidents and recovering critical assets. Threat intel analysts collect and analyze relevant information about potential threats and vulnerabilities. Forensics specialists perform forensic analysis on computers and networks that have been compromised. Vulnerability scanners scan for known vulnerabilities. And finally, monitoring solutions allow administrators to monitor activity on their servers and applications.

A well-managed SOC requires three main elements: awareness, knowledge, and skills. Awareness refers to being aware of what constitutes an attack and the ability to recognize one when it happens. Knowledge involves understanding the technical aspects of hacking and how to make sense of the data collected during an investigation. Skills include problem-solving abilities, such as analyzing logs and troubleshooting technologies like firewalls and antivirus programs.

Once iTecs is deployed as your SOC, we will test your systems regularly. This testing will involve Penetration Testing and Phishing of your networks to ensure defenses operate well. Penetration testing simulates real-world conditions and tries to break into your computer systems. By doing this, we can ensure that your defenses are strong enough to withstand external attacks.

Benefits Of Having Itecs As Your Security Operations Center

  1. PROVIDE THREAT INTELLIGENCE
    A SOC provides a central location where information about threats is shared among multiple teams within your organization. This helps ensure that everyone involved in protecting your data gets timely access to critical threat intelligence.
  2. AUTOMATE INCIDENT RESPONSE
    If something compromises your systems, you want to ensure that your response team knows what happened and what steps to take next. An effective SOC can automate incident response processes to ensure that response teams receive accurate reports quickly.
  3. INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
    When you use a SOC to manage your IT infrastructure, you eliminate one of the most time-consuming tasks associated with managing IT – responding to cyber threats. Instead, you focus on keeping your business running smoothly.
  4. REDUCE COSTS
    By automating incident response and reducing manual workflows, you reduce costs associated with handling incidents. You also avoid paying unnecessary overtime wages for people working around the clock to respond to attacks.
  5. KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY
    Keeping up with the latest trends in technology requires constant vigilance. As a result, your customers often feel neglected and frustrated when you don’t keep pace with changing technologies. By implementing a SOC, you give them peace of mind knowing that you are doing everything possible to protect their data and prevent future breaches.
  6. GAIN TRUST WITH EMPLOYEES
    Clear communication channels and training programs are essential to building trust with your workforce. iTecs SOC ensures that all your employees understand the importance of maintaining a secure environment and taking responsibility for ensuring that no sensitive information leaks.

The vulnerability scan is designed to help you determine what security issues are in your computer systems and networks. This includes outdated software versions, missing patches, weak passwords, etc. We do this by scanning your site for vulnerabilities and providing you with detailed reports about each one found. This type of scan is best used in combination with penetration testing to ensure that you find out about well-known vulnerabilities in your network and those that may be more difficult to find.

VULNERABILITY SCAN

DISCOVER SECURITY CRACKS AND PREVENT HACKS PROVIDING PREVENTATIVE CYBERDEFENSE SINCE 2002
A penetration test aims to access information about the target system or network. This could include gaining access to sensitive data, accessing restricted areas, or observing how the system operates. Once the tester gains access to the target system, they perform actions to determine whether the system is vulnerable to attack. These actions might involve scanning for open ports, enumerating files and directories, identifying running processes, or gathering configuration information. iTecs understands the need for regular pen testing as the only way to patch vulnerabilities in your network is often finding them yourself. Therefore, after our Security Team performs their pen test, they review the results with you and offer a comprehensive overview of your current security posture and how to improve it.

Email and security filtering solutions have evolved since the early days of spam. But despite the evolution, most email and security solutions still rely heavily on spam filters. These filters are designed to identify and block unwanted messages based on specific criteria such as sender address, subject lines, attachments, etc. Spam filters work well because they are easy to implement and maintain. However, they do come with limitations. For example, spam filters cannot recognize legitimate messages sent via mobile devices nor distinguish between different types of malware. They also don't understand the context, so they incorrectly classify legitimate messages as spam. iTecs SpamTitan has improved email security by offering a product that blocks spam, malware, and other malicious code, offering a more robust solution to the threats that come through email. In addition, this email solution is compatible with Office 365 and Google Workspace, giving your workplace the security it needs to operate without interruption.

According to Gartner, the managed SD-WAN market is expected to grow to $1.8 billion in 2022. This growth will be driven by enterprises looking to reduce operational costs while improving application performance.
