Managed SIEM / SOC

SecurityVue’s great product offerings include our ground-breaking Managed Detection and Response. Essentially, all SIEM solutions rely on the collection and analysis of logs. Where the difference comes in is in what the Security Operations Center (SOC) does. Many are developed and operated solely to detect threats, however SecurityVue offers a fully managed detection and response offering. This means that we not only detect threats but actively respond to them, engaging our expertly-trained researchers and analysts to actively look to detect and neutralize threats. This ensures that the best possible protection is offered while company downtime is kept to a minimum.

In order for us to offer a security product that would be regarded as world-class, we would need to have a SOC that is world-class as well. To that effect, we have invested heavily in insuring we have the right technology. The right technology enables us to use automated detection methods, however this technology alone only enables us to detect threats, not respond to them.

In order to respond effectively and prevent threats from escalating and causing massive financial damage, a SOC needs to be staffed by passionate experts. At SecurityVue we are committed to pairing the right technology with the right people to make sure that threats are detected and responded to in an acceptable time frame.

The experts who staff our SOC, which operates 24/7, are responsible for four thing that help insure that not only can we detect and respond to threats, but we can evolve to face an ever changing threat landscape. Those four things are:
– Applying threat intelligence to the automated detection programs
– Monitor to user behavior to detect inside threats
– Understanding how threat actors attack and their favored vectors of attack
– Be able to hunt new forms and methods of attack

In order to implement the solutions offered by SecurityVue within your own organization, it could cost millions of dollars. Due to the massive price tag associated with SIEM deployments, SecurityVue approached the problem using their experience and unique outlook to be able to offer a world-class service and a low monthly subscription.

It used to be that if you wanted and needed the best protection for your organization, IT Security Consultants, experts, specialists, architects, and designers recommended that their clients deploy a dedicated Security Operations Center. As soon as the words “dedicated Security Operations Center” were mentioned however, directors, shareholders, board members, and personnel in account departments began to sweat and wonder what check would need to be written to cover the costs of peace of mind. If you could not afford the massive capital outlay for your own Security Operations Center (SOC) fully-staffed with an Incident Response Team (IRT) that operates every minute of every day, you at least needed a Network Operations Center (NOC) that also operated 24/7…which would still need to be staffed and require a massive, if slightly less, capital outlay. If you decided to go the SOC route, you definitely would be delivering your CIO or CISO an early Christmas present, but as soon as an Incident Response Program, policies, and procedures arose, CFOs will begin to tear their hair out in response to the skyrocketing costs.

Fortunately, experts and consultants realized they needed a full turnkey solution. They needed something that could be easily implemented and maintained. The solution should not interrupt business hours and be hands-off. Despite being hands-off, security cannot be compromised. Traditionally, a SIEM product could take months to implement, which was far from ideal. Added to this, it would need higher security standards and have to meet compliance standards. Most importantly, it needed to be cost-effective to keep those who control the purse strings happy.

IT Security Consultants are looking for vendors who have a true 24/7 Security Operations Center, highly skilled security analysts and engineers, Forensics and Incident Response team, and a Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) product. A vendor that will implement and manage their SIEM, fine-tune the correlation rules and alerts, validate the findings through its own Security Incident Response team, and assist in remediation activities.

It looked as if IT Security Consultants were on a quest similar to finding the Holy Grail of antiquity. The vendor would need to meet and exceed all the above requirements. They would also need a true 24/7 SOC, IRT, highly trained personnel, forensics, and a trusted SIEM product. The vendor would further need to implement and manage the SIEM, fine-tune correlation rules to prevent false positives, validate findings and if needed assist in remediation. And ideally, have all of the above deployed within an hour.

To meet all the above does seem impossible, and you would have more chance of finding the Holy Grail. Luckily, there is SecurityVue, who not only meets the above list to ensure a comprehensive cyber security solution, but exceeds them. This award-winning company is here to assist IT Security Services in minutes, and at a cost that provides small to medium organizations access to world-class service.
