One of the most common ways in which cybercriminals gain access to data is through an organization’s employees. Hackers send emails that impersonate someone within the organization and request personal information or access to specific files. Links that may initially appear legitimate can, in fact, be the entry point for a full-scale attack. Therefore, employee vigilance within the organization is a critical component of the defense plan.

One effective way to defend against cyberattacks is to ensure that employees are well-trained. DCOM’s cybersecurity teams conduct phishing tests and provide training sessions to raise awareness among company employees.

Protecting the Email System

DCOM provides a comprehensive solution to protect email systems from phishing and spoofing, along with conducting a phishing campaign for employees. The campaign delivers vital information about the number of employees who failed the test and allows them to watch a short explanatory video to understand how to be more vigilant in the future.

EDR, which stands for Endpoint Detection and Response, is a solution that combines continuous monitoring and real-time data collection with automated response and analysis capabilities based on intelligent detection engines and rule systems.

An EDR system provides integrated centralization that constantly collects data and proactively looks for immediate threats. The monitoring process is carried out using real-time data analysis engines that apply algorithms to assess and correlate large volumes of data, searching for suspicious patterns. Digital asset forensic tools, such as managed EDR services, enable cybersecurity experts to efficiently investigate early-stage suspicious events, fine-tune them efficiently, and prevent full-scale breaches.

The Importance of Managed EDR Service

An EDR system without professional management and control is a partial and less effective solution. To ensure that the system is efficient and delivers the required security solution, it is important to understand several key points:

1. EDR systems provide alerts and logs, but without ongoing control by a SOC (Security Operations Center) and log analysis and response by cybersecurity experts, the organization will not achieve the desired results.
2. An EDR system can cause overloads and operational difficulties if not properly maintained.
3. EDR solutions often impact or overload other systems, such as DB servers and custom-developed applications that are not off-the-shelf products.
4. EDR solutions require controlled deployment and maintenance, guided by experts, to address these issues effectively.

One of the standout advantages of properly managed EDR service is the input of cyber threat intelligence into the system. There is intelligence provided by various entities that contain data and identifiers about files not yet identified as malicious, links to websites, or malicious new IP addresses. All of these, and more, are critical and affect the EDR system’s ability to scan for threats and alert on suspicious events.

At DCOM, we believe in managed services that provide a complete solution to our clients. Our goal is to prevent the development of incidents as much as possible and provide a response in the early stages.

Our managed EDR service is connected to a SOC service and monitored and managed by a team of cybersecurity experts.

We invite you to elevate your organization’s security level with our experts.

Therefore, one of the crucial aspects to focus on is a swift return to normalcy after an incident. This is essentially the process of recovering from a disaster and getting back to regular operations as quickly as possible.

It’s important to remember that getting back up and running, even in a partial emergency mode, can be challenging and time-consuming. The success of the recovery process often depends significantly on the expertise of the recovery team.

DCOM has extensive experience in disaster recovery and system restoration after an incident, with the goal of restoring the client’s critical services as quickly as possible while maintaining a certain level of security to prevent future cyber incidents.

The service aims to bring the client’s critical services back to functioning as quickly as possible while simultaneously enhancing the organization’s security posture to prevent future cyber incidents when returning to normal operations.

SIEM/SOC are part of the modern information security framework of organizations. They provide the capability to identify, analyze, and respond to security threats in real-time. Here are some of the advantages and importance of SIEM/SOC services:

1. Threat Detection and Alerting: Their significant role in identifying security threats such as attacks, breaches, or suspicious activities within the information system cannot be understated. These services identify alarm signals, often connected through event analysis and normal operation processes.
2. Analysis and Understanding of Normal Behavior: SIEM services allow for documentation and analysis of activities in the organization’s information system by collecting data. This way, the system can understand the normal behavior of users and the system itself and identify abnormal events that could be threats.
3. Application in the System: SIEM services enable organizations to monitor and manage various applications within the system and easily identify unusual use cases or suspicious activities related to these applications.
4. Enhanced Response and Handling: SOC helps improve the response to threats, both known and new, and assists in decision-making regarding tailored response measures.
5. Resilience and Security: These services allow organizations to be more resilient and effectively deal with attacks and threats, thus protecting the privacy and security of the organization’s data and its customers.
6. Compliance and Governance Enforcement: The importance of SIEM and SOC services becomes evident when an organization faces legal requirements or conditions that aim to enforce efficient system and data management.
7. Espionage and Eavesdropping: SIEM services can use analysis and threat detection for espionage and eavesdropping, meaning managing the organization’s competitive and tactical activities.

In summary, SIEM and SOC are essential and central tools in protecting information security in the technological landscape. They can provide early warning of malicious actions that could develop into larger cybersecurity events.

Cyber Incident Response (IR) is a systematic, step-by-step approach to efficiently manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents, from the initial detection to the rapid restoration of business operations. The entire process is managed by cybersecurity experts with comprehensive training. The goal of the IR team is to minimize the downtime of your digital assets, enable a swift return to normal operations, and minimize damages in terms of cost and reputation. The process is divided into several key stages:

• Detection: Confirmation or denial of a cyber event.
• Initial Response: Identifying all affected assets and endpoints.
• Analysis: Identifying the source of the attack and its characteristics.
• Damage Assessment: Evaluating the extent of the incident and identifying exposed data.
• Evidence Collection: Documenting the breach and analyzing malicious processes for potential legal purposes.
• Containment: Isolating affected endpoints to stop the attack.
• Recovery: Data restoration and quick return to normal operations.
• Lessons Learned: Investigation and a report with recommendations for future implementation.

If you’ve experienced a cyberattack, it’s crucial to engage with cybersecurity professionals who can help you navigate through these stages to minimize the impact and prevent future incidents.

During the assessment, information assets that could be affected by a cyberattack will be identified, such as hardware, systems, laptops, customer data, and intellectual property. Potential risks that could impact these assets will then be characterized. Throughout the assessment, checks will be conducted based on a protocol tailored to your specific operations and any changes that have occurred in your organization since the previous assessment. The findings of the assessment will be consolidated into a report with recommendations on how to further strengthen security.
