Foundations of a Proven Cybersecurity Program

Security leaders face immense pressure to reduce cyber risk and demonstrate the effectiveness of their security operations amid budgetary and resource constraints.

At the core of a proven cybersecurity program lie the pillars of People, Process, and Technology (PPT). You need to determine the essential roles your team needs, how to make informed decisions to consolidate your security tool stack, and how to navigate compliance and cybersecurity frameworks that align with your organizational goals.

By mastering these elements, you'll build a security program that not only mitigates risks but also ensures long-term protection and adaptability in the face of ever-evolving cyber threats.

Building Your Technical Roadmap

To protect your business from cyber threats and minimize the risk of business disruption, it’s critical to focus on achieving the core technical capabilities of a modern security operation.

A critical part of a proven cybersecurity program is having 24/7 threat detection and response capabilities, supported by a team of SOC Cyber Analysts who can conduct proactive, hypothesis-based threat hunting, original threat research, and incident handling to disrupt threats in real-time.

Before you decide whether you want to build or buy a SOC, it’s important to address the key components of building an effective SOC, such as:

  1. 1

    How will you hire, train, and retain your staff?

  2. 2

    What kind of physical infrastructure will you need?

  3. 3

    What is the optimal workflow that will enable your Security Analysts to respond to threats and drive continuous improvement without burning out?

Why Hire A Proven MDR Partner to Augment Your Team

The evolution of cybercrime, including the rise of the 'as-a-service' business model and Initial Access Brokers, has lowered the barrier for entry for cybercriminals while increasing your organization's cyber risks. As a result, your team is tasked with additional responsibilities while grappling with rising costs and macroeconomic pressures that often lead to reduced headcount and intensified scrutiny on cybersecurity budgets.

While you may consider a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach to building a Proven security program, it requires a large investment to access best-in-breed technologies and hire a team of highly skilled security resources to manage your program. Instead, focus on making investments in the four instrumental areas that will address the biggest areas of cyber risk.

Capability #1

The ability to detect threats in real-time

Capability #2

The ability to investigate cyber threats effectively

Capability #3

Prioritizing fast, 24/7 response to cyber threats

Capability #4

Shifting to a risk-based approach to build cyber resilience

By outsourcing 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities to a Proven Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider that acts as an extension of your team, you’ll be better prepared to identify critical cyber threats in real-time, eliminate the risk of a cyberattack, and build resilience.
