SEE US A FRIEND WE CARE

At Think Cyber what makes us different is paying attention to details and our ability to create an emotional bond with your cyber needs; it’s the fulcrum of our technology Innovation.

We are aware that there are so many vendors with varying solutions in the Cyber Sphere.

When it comes to details of meeting needs in the SOC department, we have taken time to pay attention to details that crop up in every day SOC activities. 

As we all know 90% of cyber breaches are caused by Human Errors which find its root from

·        Incompetence

·         lack of hands on or inexperience

·        Inability to build a failsafe process into SOC operation.

·        Varying level of expertise in the team( Having a SOC team with individuals that are not equally skilled)

In warfare, everybody is trained to complement the other but the main focus is to destroy the enemy, secure the territory and ensure that no property or lives is lost or if lost with minimal damage. That is what Cyber Warfare is all about.

An advanced operational SOC consist of the following at the Basic

·        Dedicated Engineers

·        SOC Plumbers

·        Intel Analyst (Tier 1 Analyst, Tier 2 Analyst, Tier 3 Analyst)

·        Hunt Team

·        Senior Escalation Support {CISO}

Dedicated Engineers

·        This engineer's job is to build software that makes their security products talk to each other. This helps streamline their processes and automate data gathering as best as they can.

SOC Plumbers

·        Monitor Basic detection capability of SIEM to advanced detection capability of Advanced SIEM

·        Work with a combination of EDR and Network forensics to get advanced threat detection

Intel Analyst (Tier 1, Tier 2)

·        Work mainly on SIEM,Tune correlation rules and plug some more specialized products into the SIEM.

·        Ability to pull data from their network and endpoint security products without leaving the SIEM. This improves the quality (and speed) of their investigations.

·        Escalate Incident to Tier Three Intelligent Analyst

Tier three analysts/Hunt Team

·        Pick up escalation and pivot directly to more sophisticated analysis tools and consoles than SIEM

·        Make sure that the intel feeding the technology is up to date,

·        Ensure that the intel feeding it’s not burying shift analysts in useless alerts

·        When serious threats arise – add color and context so that management understands the risks they’re facing.

·        They focus exclusively on finding things their tech missed. While they do a little work in the SIEM, they spend most of their time building and running custom scripts to find threats their security products aren’t alerting on.

The CISO

·        Make sure SOC operation  is metrics-driven , watch closely what the ratios are between false positives and true positives, how long it takes to triage , investigate and how much value the organization is getting out of their security investments based on usage.

·        Brings in third parties to run red team exercises to ensure the SOC is performing as expected, he reviews the metrics to ensure time-to-detect, time-to-respond and the overall accuracy that’s coming out of his SOC is improving. Monitors overall performance of the SOC.
