| Titre | The Value of MSSPs and Threat Intelligence |
| Texte |
In recent years, the range and severity of cyberattacks against organizations across a range of business sectors have increased exponentially, leading to systems breached, data stolen and operations severely impacted. According to a 2017 research report by McAfee, new malware samples hit an all-time high in Q3, increasing 10% over the previous quarter and ransomware variants were up 36%. However, in spite of the growing number of threats, ensuring strong defenses are not always the highest priority for a significant percentage of companies, as time to market and other business / competitive pressures tend to override security concerns.
Successful incursions can have lasting repercussions that effect a company’s bottom line, long-term brand value and customer confidence. As a result, businesses are increasingly forced to recognize that they need to improve their security capabilities. But for many, this remains a complex and ongoing challenge, partly due to limited IT budgets and a lack of trained security personnel.
As a result, organizations of all sizes are choosing managed security service providers (MSSPs) to provide cost-effective services to ensure that they’re protected before, during and after a cyber-attack. For example, an effective MSSP can focus on hardening IT infrastructure and enforcing solid security policies before an attack. Once an attack has been launched, a security provider can help detect an incursion, and then block it to prevent further damage to targeted systems.
Analysis conducted after an attack can identify gaps and vulnerabilities for an organization to address. An MSSP can also recommend and provide a range of additional services, including:
Installing authentication protocols to govern access to sensitive data, networks and IT systems
maintaining 24/7 intrusion detection and firewall monitoring
collecting and analyzing event monitoring data to detect anomalies
monitoring network traffic to identify new and evolved intrusion attempts
initiating backup and recovery procedures in the event of an attack
Taking Security to The Next Level
In addition to offering effective point solutions, it’s crucial for MSSPs to deliver comprehensive services as a true value-add to their end customers. This includes providing an extensive knowledge base in terms of threat profiles and offering context so that organizations can maximize their defenses and choose the best course of action to respond to an imminent attack.
“There may be more advanced types of incidence response, such as providing advice or context on the different types of attacks that are taking place,” observed Sacha Dawes, Senior Product Marketing Manager at AlienVault. “Again, it’s about obtaining as much contextual data as possible to determine how to respond to an incident and what needs to be done to minimize disruptions, mitigate impact and maximize the response to ensure that things are up and running again as soon as possible.”
As cyberattack methods continue to evolve, organizations need to be able to adapt to those changes as well. According to Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report, more than 57 million new malware variants were observed in 2016. Threat intelligence can play a crucial role in protecting a company’s assets and staying one step ahead of potential losses, because it provides companies with actionable information that they can use to detect and respond to emerging and ev |
