Security threat
Quite rightly, many businesses are concerned about threats that come from outside the organisation – attempts to hack into the network. But in focusing on defending against outsiders, insider threats can sometimes be overlooked. The truth is that internal threats contribute to over 60% of security incidents in business.
Insider threats are not always malicious, sometimes they are simply user error. Internal security threats can range from a disgruntled employee attempting to steal data to take to their next role, to accidental clicking of a phishing link in an email, or a temporary contractor accessing your WiFi on their own infected device. Any of these could have serious consequences if undetected.
In the past, many IT teams used arbitrary protections to restrict user devices and behaviours for fear of these risks. Conservative approaches like this hamper users and stifle productivity however. Now, the concept of ‘trust but verify’ offers a more positive approach to end user security. Considered use of policies, backed up with technology to enforce access controls and monitor end users, offers the ideal solution.
How we help
We help you implement non-invasive technologies and services to allow your employees to do their jobs, whilst guiding them on the right behaviours.
DLP controls prohibit sensitive data being taken off site, whether by download onto external media or by email to personal accounts.
Continuous monitoring means we alert you to repeated deviations from policy by individuals, building up a behaviour profile.
We place a number of protective agents on user devices including DLP and web security filters – not only protecting them but drawing information into the SOC for continuous monitoring.
We work with you to establish user profiles and privileges so that your employees have access only to the business systems they need to carry out their roles but can do so easily.
With experts on watch 24/7, we provide a quick response to any threats detected before they result in data loss or business disruption.
End user trust management delivered as part of our SOC solutions helps protect your business from internal threats.
We monitor every insertion point on the network through a powerful combination of best-in-class technologies and human intellect – protecting against security risks from third-party suppliers, customers or temporary workers.

Following the discovery of the Log4J vulnerability attackers attempt to discover vulnerabilities on perimeter facing systems with intention of installing Cobalt Strike to gain a foothold on these systems.
On identification of the Log4J vulnerability, the SOC initiated a critical threat advisory to the client and initiated perimeter and internal scans for this vulnerability.
The SOC team liaised with the client’s IT department and third parties to ensure that systems were appropriately patched in accordance with the vendor guidance for the software and systems operating on their networks.
The SIEM system was used to monitor for any indicators of compromise through correlation of the client’s security log feeds.
Patching and vulnerability management is basic security good practice and part of expected security due diligence.
