Detection and Response Against Advanced Threats
The security of your data and technology investments is top of mind for your leadership team, investors, and customers. The risk of advanced threats is real, and every organization is a target. With the complexity of remote work, cloud applications, and hybrid data centers, cybersecurity must be at the forefront of your executive team's agenda. One slight mistake in your security infrastructure, and your business can suffer from financial theft, unplanned downtime, data loss, regulatory action, and reputation damage that may put your business at risk of closure.
Effective Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
The biggest problem in cybersecurity is huge amounts of data. Your infrastructure can generate petabytes of log data on an annual basis when using cloud or hybrid environments. Attackers are hiding in plain sight relying on alert fatigue and false positives to go undetected even in environments with SIEM and SOAR technologies in place. To effectively defend your business against modern threat actors, you must analyze the data, reduce the noise, identify actionable alerts, and act at speed when an alert is detected.
Our advantage is our Big Data analytics using AI and ML mathematics to find the threats hidden in the data and identify the threats early before attackers can exploit your system. This ground-breaking technology is based on Rough Set mathematics and 3 different Artificial Intelligence models. We leverage AQ Technology TM, which is a data analytics engine that sits between the data lake and the application as it provides an analysis of indicators 100+ times faster than querying the database directly. Our solution identifies threats while eliminating false positives.
We couple this technology with trained security professionals who understand your environment and have the capability to not only identify threats but also resolve them. Our SOC team works with your team to provide a seamless and balanced approach to security operations.

Banking Industry Shake Ups Introduce New Cyberattack Campaigns
Cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to exploit people's fears and emotions to trick them into divulging sensitive information or downloading malicious software. One common tactic is to use newsworthy events to conduct social engineering and phishing campaigns which are designed to manipulate people into doing something they should not, such as clicking on a link or providing login credentials via timely fraudulent communications that appear to be related to a news event.
Server Patch Management Best Practices
Businesses are increasingly dependent on technology to enable their operations, and the security of their digital assets has become a constant pressing concern. In addition to implementing proactive measures to secure their infrastructure, such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems, companies should prioritize server patch management as a key component of their vulnerability management practice.
