SOC Health Check
An SOC health check is a deep dive into the core of your organization’s security operations center (SOC) to promote its optimal performance and efficacy. The ever-looming cyber threats of today make having a robust SOC a necessity for safeguarding your sensitive data, infrastructure, and reputation.
Understanding Correlation Searches
Correlation searches lie at the heart of effective threat detection within a SOC. These searches analyze huge amounts of data from various sources to identify patterns and anomalies that could indicate potential security breaches or malicious activities. But creating and maintaining effective correlation searches requires a deep understanding of your unique infrastructure, systems, and threat landscape.
The SOC Health Check begins by going through your existing correlation searches with a fine tooth comb. We evaluate their relevance, accuracy, and effectiveness in detecting and responding to security incidents. Our team of experts will work closely with your team to understand your organization’s specific requirements and tailor correlation searches accordingly. By fine-tuning these searches, we make sure your SOC can quickly detect and mitigate emerging threats, minimizing the risk of data breaches and operational disruptions.
Audit of Enterprise Security Functionality
Our SOC Health Check also entails a comprehensive audit of your enterprise security functionality. This audit evaluates the effectiveness of your security controls, processes, and other technologies that mitigate potential vulnerabilities. We assess various aspects of your security infrastructure, for example:
Network Security
We dig into your network architecture, firewall configurations, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), as well as VPNs to identify any weaknesses or misconfigurations that could expose your organization to cyber threats.
Endpoint Security
Our experts examine your endpoint protection platforms (EPP), anti-malware solutions, and device management policies to make certain that all endpoints are adequately secured against evolving threats, such as ransomware and zero-day attacks.
Data Protection
We review your data encryption methods, access controls, and data loss prevention (DLP) measures to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access, exfiltration, or tampering.
Incident Response Readiness
We assess the readiness and effectiveness of your incident response procedures, including incident detection, analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery processes. We identify any gaps or deficiencies and provide recommendations for improvement.
Compliance Requirements
Our audit includes a review of your compliance measures with relevant regulatory standards and industry best practices, e.g. GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. We ensure that your security measures align with legal and regulatory obligations, minimizing the risk of non-compliance penalties and fines.
