GEC NEWS WIRE“Paladion’s CyberActive MDR is a fully managed offering that can fix the disparity between the speed of compromise and the speed of detection. Organizations using managed security services or in-house SOCs can augment their security operations using MDR, or they can set up 24/7 security monitoring, advanced threat hunting, remote incident investigation and response in place of traditional SOCs.”
Paladion has been emphasizing on the need for speed in cyber security. How grave is the situation now and what should organizations do to bridge the gap in detecting a threat and reacting to it?
As targeted and sophisticated attacks have continued to rise this year, the success or impact of these attacks has been largely dependent on the speed at which enterprises are able to detect and remediate the breaches. Hence, there has been a greater need for the enterprises to increase the speed of security operations, right from detecting the attacks faster in their cycle, , faster investigation and faster response.
It is an open secret that these attacks are going to rise only for different reasons, hence enterprises need to be ready well in advance and the only way as of today is to automate the process and organisations need to deploy automation platform for security operations which again is lacking currently.
It is important for regional enterprises to engage Managed Detection and Response (MDR) security partners such as Paladion who have capabilities to both detect non-signature based events triggering anomalous behaviour, and who would also ensure speed of response through automation.
Tell us more about the ‘Classic’ defense mechanism for Cyber Security? How relevant or necessary is it for the modern enterprises?
A classic defence mechanism for Cyber Security would involve Technology, Process level and People level controls in Prevention, Detection, Response and Mitigation. While Enterprises have been gradually shifting their focus on Detective rule based controls while strengthening their Preventive posture, the surge in advance attacks and threat vectors have prompted the need for Deeper detection which are not just rule based but can also detect deep and early through analytics and anticipation. The need is also to build capabilities to respond faster when an incident is detected, there by making deeper detection and speed as a paradigm shift in adopting cyber security defence strategy.
Talking about your MDRS solutions, why should a CIO/CISO pick you over your competitors?
The Paladion CyberActive MDR brings in a new breed of security talent that is complemented by our advanced machine learning algorithms and security analytics platform to enable faster than ever detection and response to cyber threats.
Since traditional MSSPs do not offer incident remediation and security talent is at a premium, Paladion’s CyberActive MDR service solves this problem by taking away incident validation and remediation responsibilities from enterprises, and packaging threat detection, validation and response in a single service offering.
Our recent inclusion as a representative vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for MDR services validates why CIO/CISOs should rely on our services to set up robust cyber defenses.
