Advanced Attack Detection

Our consultants’ understanding of modern offensive tradecraft keeps your detection ability in line with the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of modern adversaries. And as changes take place in your environment, our technology helps you ensure this capability is maintained.

The effectiveness of your detection capability is measured by how fast it triggers a suitable response.

This is only ever the result of understanding the type of cyber threats that exist, which are most likely to affect your organization, and what indicators to look for.

Our approach

Capabilities

Maintaining an effective attack detection and response capability is challenging and costly. It requires up-to-date knowledge of the threat landscape, correctly tuned technology and controls, a team of capable analysts, and the policies to prompt a response if needed. This explains why so few attacks are swiftly detected after initial compromise.

Services & solutions

Purple team

In a purple team exercise, offensive (red) and defensive (blue) teams work together towards a common goal. Collaboratively, we assess your defense in-depth across the lifecycle of an attack, highlighting areas for improvement and/or investment across people, process, and technology.

AttackSim

AttackSim is our proprietary attack simulation tooling, first developed by consultants for consultants. Now, it is deployed in engagements to simulate the attackers targeting clients’ businesses and measure their ability to detect the TTPs they would use. With the ongoing support from consultants, AttackSim can be used point-in-time or deployed continuously, as part of an ongoing security program, to track how changes in your environment influence your detection capability.

How WithSecure™ can help.

One of the biggest mistakes organizations make with their detection capability is relying on tooling alone. Monitoring is part of the solution, but it must be supplemented with the knowledge of dedicated cyber security specialists, continuous data analysis by a skilled SOC, and regular tuning of your technology. Detection needs to be seen in the context of your broader security posture. This is where we come in.

1

Threat intelligence

Strengthen your attack detection capability with data gathered first-hand when battling attackers, from opportunists to APTs. This data informs our understanding of who is trying to compromise your organization, what their motives are, and how they will attempt to reach actions on objectives.

2

Offensive and defensive specialisms

Our consultants think like attackers without losing touch with your complex and hard-to-balance organizational needs. And our detection consultancy brings the two together, helping you tackle real business problems with a threat-centric mindset.

Technology + manpower

Just as your detection capability uses the power of tooling and the specialist skills of analysts, the two are essential to our approach. Consultants provide experience, context, and training, while our technology delivers high-quality telemetry, continuously, at scale.
