DataShield can leverage pre-existing cybersecurity components and integrate the management of those components into our solutions framework so that business operations don’t have to adopt an entirely new cybersecurity technical infrastructure or operations. DataShield MSS Enterprise can deliver a bespoke solution to address enterprise cybersecurity needs—right where it is.
This means that while countermeasures have been implemented, the organization is not operating the cybersecurity program in alignment with the organization's maturity level or the advanced persistent threat landscape. And as a result, the organization remains vulnerable to an advanced persistent threat that seeks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that remain unmitigated in any enterprise business or IT operations. DataShield MSS Enterprise solves this problem by defining and establishing the appropriate level of cybersecurity operations for the enterprise.
DataShield Enterprise utilizes the Data Defenders Cybersecurity 360 operations paradigm to focus on rightly implementing and aligning the components of the cybersecurity lifecycle (which includes governance, process and procedure, and technical infrastructure management) to the organization’s business and IT infrastructure maturity level. The Cybersecurity 360 operations paradigm creates integrated relationships between the three components of the cybersecurity lifecycle to ensure that each component is appropriately informed by the other components and to establish the right cybersecurity operational model for the enterprise. This enables a consistent and continuous attention and evolution of the enterprise’s cybersecurity program that positions it to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities within the enterprise’s business or IT infrastructure and to continuously mitigate the advanced persistent threat against the enterprise.
DataShield Enterprise has evolved the old MSS delivery model and establishes a symmetrical relationship between the enterprise customer and the DataShield SOC to enable joint and rapid analysis and decision making to proactively address and mitigate the enterprise threat landscape. In other words, the customer sees exactly what the DataShield SOC sees, who partners with the customers’ IT operations to execute threat mitigation actions. So, the customer does not have to worry about conducting these actions on their own. The DataShield SOC team integrates directly into the enterprise IT team and essentially becomes a direct part of the enterprise IT infrastructure operations and management. This enables the enterprise to focus mainly on governance and control of the cybersecurity program while the Data Defenders DataShield team focuses on implementing and managing daily cybersecurity operations. DataShield provides proactive mitigation of cyberthreats to the enterprise as they occur. DataShield can help enterprises address compliance requirements, mitigate the high cybersecurity staffing turnover, and quickly implement threat mitigation operations to significantly raise security posture in a rapid manner.
DataShield provide a comprehensive 24x7x365 cybersecurity program at one-sixth of the cost of building a comprehensive program in house. DataShield provides governance and cybersecurity program strategy development support to the enterprise to ensure all cybersecurity needs are covered, including: network and endpoint threat detection and response, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, incident management, malware management, and point solutions management.
DataShield® Essential Features
Essentials includes DataShield Analytics Security Command Center and Incident Management Modules. Cybersecurity operators will be able to view the same cybersecurity telemetry as DataShield MSS cybersecurity operators, enabling full symmetrical communication and decision making between the customer and DataShield MSS security operators.
Disruption and containment of threats in real-time with managed threat mitigation from basic actions such as disabling ports and accounts to full scale and comprehensive cyberattack mitigation against nation state level actors.
24x7x365 DataShield Security Operator monitoring of security events and alerts on the customer's IT infrastructure supported by AI to automate event and alerts triage. Data Defenders recognizes the need for the human equation in threat mitigation. As such, our experts are always available to monitor and respond to events across your infrastructure.
Aligned Threat Intelligence which tracks more than 40 nation state actors and over 140 threat actor groups across both the internet and dark net. Data Defenders reviews both individual and correlated alerts, incidents, and problems across the customer infrastructure to identity indicators of true positive activities.
Attacker containment and recovery when attacks occur. Assistance in recovery and remediation of critical infrastructure from a security incident. Investigate, triage, and resolve incidents. Escalate through SOC L1/L2/L3 based on event complexity and priority.
Detailed incident investigations to determine source, impact, and attack vector of various activities fully executed through resolution, after-action reporting, forensic evaluation, and law enforcement engagement, as required.
Continuous evaluation of data sources and ingestion methods to ensure the correct signals are always being incorporated into the overall DataShield threat view.
Human-led threat hunting takes Data Defenders' Threat Intelligence to the next level by including digital forensics, log analysis, and malware analysis support. Maintains the security assurances and actively defends systems as live adversaries attack it. Human-led threat hunting takes a deeper look into system and network activities to expose advanced threats and identify the scope and impact of malicious activity associated with human adversaries or hands-on-keyboard attacks.
Leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human expertise, Data Defenders' intelligent Anomaly Detection identifies high risk combing across various low fidelity exhaust. Scalable hunts using detection and correlation engineering platform. Hunting across endpoints, identities, cloud apps, email, and data.
Crisis management including the orchestration of incident response by bringing in the right talent across security and the IT technology stack.
Data Defenders will constantly leverage our understanding of your infrastructure and organizational goals to provide guidance and best practice to build and maintain a well-architected infrastructure of services, data, end user training, and associated policy controls.
To enable your security posture, Data Defenders starts with a full security scan of your environment with specialized proprietary tools. Clear recommendations for remediation and eviction actions. Further, Data Defenders will support the standup of all enabling technologies including network devices and controls, Azure Sentinel, Log Analytics, SysLog Sources, Defender for Endpoints, Office 365, AD & AAD Identity, Defender for Cloud, AAD P2 (for Identity Protection signals), Azure and M365 Purview, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Defender for IoT. Support may include on-premise infrastructure and both commercial and sovereign government cloud elements spanning multiple SaaS solutions.
