Protective services overview
Technology
A Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention system (IDS/IPS) provides real-time threat detection and prevention to ensure any potential emerging threats are resolved before they can cause damage. A virtual management console provides the SOC with the overarching health monitoring for all IDS/IPS deployments and is API-integrated with both the SOC’s SIEM and i3 case management system to deliver a comprehensive defensive system.
People
Our experienced security team support all IDS/IPS deployments providing 24x7x365 real-time threat monitoring and incident response. Engineers and consultants configure IPS rules to detect inbound exploitation attempts of any perimeter-facing assets while tracking and nullifying any indicators of call-back to external command and control servers. Further, a dedicated Service Delivery Manager is on hand to manage service obligations and enhancements.
Process
Real-time threat monitoring and incident response underpins IDS/IPS to ensure round the clock protection, while regular analysis and review ensures ongoing updates to signatures and rules. Threat intelligence findings are used to inform optimisation and the creation of new custom rules and blacklists. Detailed threat intelligence is also used to add further evidential data into the process while informing monthly Key Risk Indicator reports and ‘metrics that matter’.
Technology
The LogSecure SIEM delivers a correlated view of security risks across everything running on your network and in the cloud. A tightly-integrated and extensive Global Threat Intelligence Network (GTIN) and I3 Security Incident Management Portal identify potential compromise and provide real-time security alerts to enhance our detection and auto-remediation capability while expediting root cause analysis.
People
An expert security team underpins our SIEM services with 24x7x365 threat monitoring, internet-based threat hunting and a customised log monitoring approach to support your systems and bespoke applications. A Security Assurance Consultant ensures best practice is enforced at all times, with a dedicated Service Delivery Manager in place to ensure all commitments and expectations are met.
Process
24x7x365 monitoring from a UK-based Security Operations Centre ensures that your business is protected around the clock. Early warning threat intelligence updates help ensure reinforced protections are in-situ ahead of an attack, while ongoing tuning of alert rules see that your service evolves in line with your business. We’ll also provide monthly Key Risk Indicator (KRI) reports, the ‘metrics that matter’, and threat intelligence summaries. When an incident arises, we’ll take the lead in working with your internal teams and relevant 3rd parties to action quick and effective resolutions.
Technology
Our always-on virtual scanners perform host discovery, vulnerability detection and compliance scanning to identify potential security risks for further SOC action. This includes Web Application Scanning, Real-time Scanning Agents, PCI Compliance Scanning and a live Threat Intelligence feed for newly disclosed vulnerabilities and emerging threats. Vulnerability insights are also used to inform tailored client reports and correlated within the SOC’s SIEM service.
People
A skilled security team supports and interprets every element of Vulnerability Management, providing real-time analysis and linkage with the SIEM system to ensure all risks are assessed in the round. Singularly, the SOC delivers regular vulnerability reports, configuring virtual scanner tools for ongoing optimised performance and integration with other SOC services. A Security Assurance Consultant is always on hand to ensure best practice is upheld, while a dedicated Service Delivery Manager ensures all service expectations are met.
Process
Once deployed, your scanning and management service works in conjunction with relevant and supporting SOC services and is continually optimised to ensure assets are hardened and patched to the latest level. Additionally, tailored, ad-hoc scans can also be actioned on request by a client via the i3 portal, or on notification of a zero-day vulnerability.

data leak or compromise
Following the discoveyr 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 clients 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.
