Today’s cybersecurity threat

The pace of digital transformation is accelerating fast. For organisations of all sizes, this increases the potential for attack. To compound the issue, the number of potential cyber threats is also increasing exponentially, along with the speed at which threats can emerge. In addition, the threats organisations face are becoming ever more sophisticated.

To make matters worse, there is also a skills and availability gap for top quality security professionals with too few to keep with today’s demand – never mind the future…

Benefits of FourNet’s cybersecurity solutions

Continuous Protection

FourNet’s Security Operations Centre runs 24/7 year-round. This uninterrupted monitoring is critical to detecting the first signs of anomalous activity. Attacks don't only occur within business hours Monday through Friday. FourNet’s in- house SOC team members and our state-of- the-art applications monitor for potential vulnerabilities around the clock to catch threats at all hours.

Quick and Effective Response

As our SOC technology and analysts continuously monitor for threats, they decrease the amount of time elapsed between when the compromise first occurred and mean time to detection. Should anomalous activity be detected, our SOC analysts and embedded AI investigate and verify the event is indeed an attack before working to contain it. The SOC team then begins incident response to determine the severity of the threats, eradicate them and remediate any ill effects. In lots of cases the threat is automatically neutralised, with no human intervention.

Compliance

Key SOC monitoring capabilities are integral to enterprise compliance for FourNet’s critical customer base, especially following regulations that require particular security monitoring functions and mechanisms, such as GDPR, Cyber Essentials+ and ISO 27001.

Decreased Costs of Breaches and Operations

By minimizing the amount of time a cyber attacker lurks in an enterprise's network, FourNet’s SOC will reduce the effect of a breach and, therefore, the potential costs the breach may incur via data loss, lawsuits or business reputation damage. The longer an attacker remains in a system, the more potential damage can be done to the company.
In addition, FourNet’s SOC teams work diligently to minimize downtime and business disruption during an attack to prevent monetary losses. In terms of operations, having a centralized SOC team lowers Capex and Opex. Security experts working in a streamlined team also prevent multiple groups or departments from duplicating efforts by working on similar cybersecurity incidents.
The SOC itself can also be a source of cost savings. Outsourcing tasks to FourNet as a managed security service provider SOC can offload some or all security responsibilities to eliminate the need for a dedicated on-premise SOC facility and staff.

Threat Prevention

SOCs are about more than just detecting incidents. The analysis and threat hunting conducted by FourNet’s AI driven applications and analysts help prevent attacks from occurring in the first place. Our SOC provides increased visibility and control over security systems, enabling the organization to stay ahead of potential attackers and issues.
FourNet leverages state of the art SOC applications and techniques that revolutionise threat protection, such as Artificial Intelligence, third party application integration and automation of threat remediation / response, centralised monitoring and optimisation.

Engagement and Education

A SOC team is well versed in communication and collaboration. This is not only within the team itself, but also within FourNet and our partners as a whole. Our SOC team members educate employees, third-party contractors, clients and more about potential threats through security awareness training programs. Security operations centre team members also share security insights with C-level executives and management, business leaders and department heads to help company leaders calculate potential risks to evaluate if the risks should be accepted or if a new policy or control should be adopted to mitigate them.

Security Expertise

We have different types of personnel including a SOC manager, incident responder and security analyst(s), as well as other specialized positions, such as security engineers, threat hunters, forensic investigators and compliance auditors. Each of these employees has a diverse set of skills, which, when combined with those of other SOC employees and advanced technology, is instrumental to detect, remediate, analyse and learn from threats.

Our team members also have broad knowledge of tried-and-true technologies for threat detection and prevention, such as SIEM, behavioural threat analytics, AI and machine learning, and cloud access security brokers, as well as the most advanced threat detection techniques, such as deception. All of these applications are available in FourNet’s SOC for new customers to leverage.

Improved Business Reputation

Having a SOC is an indicator to employees, clients, customers and third-party stakeholders that the company takes data security and privacy seriously. This helps the business, employees and customers feel more comfortable sharing data. And the more seriously a company takes the security and privacy of its data, the greater trust it will earn from its constituents.

Cybersecurity controls and defence

FourNet combines the full range of IT and networking systems that form the technical line of defence against cyberattacks

Network and Perimeter Security

The protection measures implemented at the boundary between your internal network (intranet) and the external or public-facing internet. The existence of vulnerabilities in this perimeter exposes the risk of potential attacks by malicious actors who exploit internet connectivity to target connected resources.

Endpoint Security

Focusing on safeguarding network-connected devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and servers. Our endpoint security protects these devices, along with the data, information, or assets associated with them, from various threats and malicious activities.

Application Security

By implementing effective application security measures, FourNet can help you mitigate risks related to unauthorised access, data breaches, and other potential vulnerabilities.

Data Security

The processes and tools used to protect sensitive information assets, whether they are in transit or at rest. It involves employing techniques such as encryption to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. Additionally, we can provide back up and recovery solutions.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Enabling you to control and manage user access to resources based on their identities. IAM ensures that the right individuals are granted appropriate access privileges to the right resources, at the right times, and for valid reasons. By implementing IAM practices, you can enhance security and reduce the risk of unauthorised access or data breaches.

Zero Trust Architecture

All FourNet solutions operate on a zero trust basis which eliminates the assumption of implicit trust in traditional network architectures and only grants access to resources based on factors like strong authentication, multifactor authentication, and the use of a secure corporate device with an up-to-date security suite. By adopting a zero trust approach, you can enhance security by continuously verifying and validating users and their devices, regardless of their location or network environment.

FourNet can help organisations assess all aspects of their technology stack but technology controls aren’t the only line of defence against cyberattacks.

FourNet also helps customers critically examine cyber-risk culture and can provide training to build employee awareness and promote secure behaviour.
