Business need
Applications and cloud providers are now part of the information supply chain, which means organisations have more third party suppliers connecting into their network than ever before. Your network is only as strong as your weakest link. When you have spent time and money investing in your own security protections, how can you ensure that your suppliers meet the same standards that you do?
Ensuring the end-to-end protection of systems, people and data is vital. If a supplier’s network is not secure, this could create vulnerabilities for yours. A third party data leak could include sensitive data from your organisation, but without control over the security, how could you react quickly to prevent further data loss? What’s more, unscrupulous attackers may use smaller organisations as a springboard into larger, target companies where they can reap bigger rewards from ransomware, or use connected systems to compromise users. Vulnerabilities in supply chain security could provide an easy route in.

Liam opens an email attachment from a known client; unfortunately his client’s laptop has been compromised and he opens a document infected with ransomware.
The ransomware starts to encrypt his shared folders, but in a sub-second response his desktop is quarantined by our anti-ransomware system which alerts the SOC team in real-time.
The SOC team notified the client’s IT team and commence incident response processes, using their SIEM they performed root cause analysis which identified the entry method of the malware (via email). The SOC obtained a copy of the malware for analysis in their malware labs, they detonated the malware safely to study its behaviour and identify its spreading mechanism to find it was wormable (able to spread across the network on open ports to vulnerable systems). Armed with this knowledge the SOC guided the IT Team during the recovery process to ensure the malware was not persistent and did not reinfect the systems after recovery or reattempt encryption.
To further protect the client from future attacks, the SOC team deploy real-time vulnerability scanning agents on workstation and servers to ensure the hosts are hardened and patched to the latest level to protect against wormable ransomware.
One in 6 of those attacked was hit with a ransom and 58% paid up.
