Security threat
You already have anti-virus software in place, so why do you need additional security to prevent malware? The way anti-virus works is to map the signature of known threats, so that it can spot them when they emerge in your network. But what about the malware threats that are not yet known about – so called ‘zero day’ attacks?
Malware is becoming increasingly difficult to detect. For one thing, the number of variants is increasing year on year. In addition, it is becoming more sophisticated both in form (such as signatures which can morph and avoid detection) and in deployment (for example, malware ‘as-a-service’). Traditional anti-virus software is finding it difficult to keep up.
More advanced technology, such as machine learning, has a big part to play in hunting down unknown malware threats. By profiling what normal looks like in your business, it can quickly and easily detect anomalous behaviour. But even with all this data, an extra layer is needed to contextualise and make decisions and avoid false alarms – this is the power of the human.
How we help
Our SOC solutions combine advanced technology with human intellect to provide the ultimate in threat hunting capabilities – tracking down and blocking zero day attacks.
Data from multiple logs and technologies feeds into the SOC to give a complete picture of your security status. Security analysts correlate and interpret this to identify potential risks and prevent malware.
Customisable and granular alerting and defensive rulesets can be tailored to your organisation and tuned on an ongoing basis to stay in line with your business needs.
In the event of a breach, we provide advanced incident analytics and malware reversal, limiting the damage caused by an attack and preventing future events of the same kind.
MDR software agents provide real-time, risk based alerting and malware protection to stop network threats.
Cyber intelligence monitoring stays one step ahead of criminals by scouring the internet and hacker forums for indicators of compromise, leaked data, targeted campaigns and fraudulent web domains.
Dedicated Threat Hunters actively seek out anomalies in user and software behaviour to uncover zero day and hidden Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).
Anti-ransomware monitoring protects your network and cloud file shares.

Tony 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). The SOC also investigated the IPS alarms to identify any call backs to command and control servers.
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.
