IT Security Management

Cyber attacks are on the rise

Threats have many sources: outdated software with vulnerabilities, unpatched systems or carelessness in dealing with new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and bypass conventional protective measures using methods such as botnets, drive-by exploits or advanced persistent threats. Today, people, machines, technology and the economy are constantly interconnected and processes are being digitized. Many systems are accessible via the internet, which is why cyber security is essential.

Recognizing and combating risks

It is a fact that more and more companies are becoming aware of existing IT security threats, but are hardly doing anything about them. No matter how big a company is, building and maintaining a firewall is not enough. Successful attacks also take place in a secure IT system. Every day there are many new variants and procedures that have only one goal: to break through existing security measures. IT security management is not just about security monitoring, but also about recognizing risks and combating them.

Security monitoring and risk detection around the clock

Radar Cyber Security allows you to customize your security monitoring and risk detection around the clock: constant updates, integrated threat intelligence, ongoing improvements, big data analyses, tailored reports in the risk and security cockpit, alerting including Advanced Correlation Engine.

As part of our managed services, we take care of the entire setup and operation. We support you in all phases, from planning and implementation through to integration into your organization and ongoing improvement. We also support you with our SOC empowerment services: We customize the platform to your specific needs, conduct training for your SOC team and work with you to establish the processes and best practices that are right for your organization. The goal: maximum effectiveness.

Your internal Security Operations Center (SOC) can easily take over operations on request.

One step ahead thanks to automated penetration tests

The increase in sophisticated cyber threats is driving the development of automated penetration testing. Traditionally, penetration tests are performed and provided manually by service companies. However, service-based penetration tests are time-consuming and do not meet the requirements of continuous security testing in a dynamic IT environment.

The PTaaS solution, on the other hand, focuses on the internal threat and mimics the hacker’s attack by automatically detecting vulnerabilities and executing ethically clean exploits while ensuring uninterrupted network operations. As a result, detailed reports with suggested solutions are generated. By regularly repeating the automated penetration test, you and your SOC team will gradually become more secure and stay one step ahead of tomorrow’s malicious attackers.

Are you underestimating the risk?

A study on the security of user accounts clearly shows that over 80 percent of all large companies are either unaware of the risks associated with privileged user accounts or significantly underestimate them. In a company with 5,000 employees, it can be assumed that 1500-3000 privileged user accounts exist. In many cases, it is unclear where these are located within a company.

Companies that do not have a complete overview of their own user account structure must assume that they will not pass the relevant audits, which can result in severe fines. There is also the risk of data leaks. Privileged Identity Management (PIM) solutions are used to securely manage, automatically change and monitor all activities relating to privileged user accounts.

Manage, monitor and control authorizations

Authorizations regulate who can and cannot do what in your IT landscape. An important part of comprehensive data protection is ensuring that defined users or groups can only access the data they really need. As authorization structures often grow over time and reach a high level of complexity, many companies lack an adequate overview of who is authorized to do what and why.

With the right authorization management (ARM), you minimize your risks by protecting essential company data. The responsible IT department is relieved thanks to automated and efficient processes. You can also provide audit-proof reports (for auditors, data protection officers and data owners) at any time.

To protect your network and your data

Data theft from company servers, credit card fraud, violation of data protection regulations or complete operational failure: vulnerabilities within the IT infrastructure allow unauthorized persons to access sensitive data. Vulnerability management serves to make companies less vulnerable and minimize business-critical security incidents. It continuously regulates the use of specialized security tools and workflows that actively help to identify and eliminate security-relevant risks.

Companies often work with simple tools for vulnerability management, sometimes even with free products. With the Tripwire Suite 360 solution, we offer our customers a sophisticated, fully integrated and automated vulnerability and compliance audit solution that not only protects your network and your data, but also saves costs.

SIEM systems detect your security problems

The intensive use of Internet infrastructure poses a security risk for important business applications and services, and not just in the operational area. Added to this is the increasing integration of business processes and the connection of external partners and customers to previously closed IT systems. Furthermore, the legal and regulatory framework conditions are becoming considerably stricter.

Within IT security, thousands of events are generated every day and vast amounts of data have to be analyzed individually and placed in relation to other data and information so that the real meaning becomes apparent. This process is extremely time-consuming, error-prone and expensive. To accomplish this task, companies need a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management System) that is precisely tailored to the company’s security needs. SIEM systems centralize, correlate and analyze data across the entire IT network in order to identify security problems. In addition, compliance reporting is carried out to demonstrate verifiable adherence to the legal and regulatory framework.
