Security Operation Center/ Incident Response

The Security Operation Center is an operational unit tasked with identifying cyber attacks in the network before they can develop their full risk potential. The typical cyber attack takes several months to spread far enough in the victim's network. During this time, the attacker tries to hide his attack as well as possible. In order to still recognize the attack, a SOC needs various elements: • Systems to capture the status data of end devices, central components, applications or IoT, production and medical devices. • Processes to ensure a complete and meaningful analysis and the appropriate response to security events. • Well-trained and experienced analysts. Despite all the intelligence of modern security systems, this human component is still the most important element of a well-functioning SOC. On the technological side, A1 Digital uses Splunk and Mandiant to collect and analyze status data. These components can be complemented by special systems for IoT, production and medical devices. The architecture enables comprehensive monitoring of all devices and applications connected to the network. Attackers find it more difficult to spread their attack unnoticed in the network and the potential victims gain time for a qualified incident response. As part of the incident response, the detected attack is rendered harmless using suitable means. The attack is prevented from spreading and systems that are already infected are cleaned. A1 Digital offers the SOC including the incident response as a managed service including all necessary applications and licenses. There is no need to invest in systems and there is no time-consuming search for personnel. Clear service levels and 7x24 operation ensure a secure network at all times.
