The increasing shortage of skilled workers and declining security budgets further exacerbate the situation. Companies – especially small and medium-sized ones – are therefore increasingly relying on cooperation with security partners.
IT security teams should constantly evolve their strategies to stay ahead of cybercriminals. Arctic Wolfprovider of Security Operations as a Service, uses a combination of technology and human know-how to help companies identify risks, reduce the attack surface and ward off attacks at an early stage.
The security experts at Arctic Wolf Concierge Security Service use information from the cloud-native Arctic Wolf Security Operations Platform. They create the company’s individual risk profile, eliminate vulnerabilities in order to react quickly to potential attacks and continuously improve the security of the company.
Arctic Wolf works with dedicated partners. The security operations expert who a strong growth in the DACH region recorded, takes over the security measures, the partner community services such as consulting and implementation. Together they work to effectively minimize cyber risks for their customers.
Six steps to mitigate cyber risk:
1. Definition of asset categories
Which IT systems are currently in use?
With Arctic Wolf Managed Risk companies can break down their IT assets globally. Such an inventory report provides the basis for testing standard software configurations.
2. Inventory of the operating systems
A view of assets grouped by operating system helps answer the following question: Are employees using outdated versions of Windows?
Arctic Wolf Managed Risk shows the distribution of the operating systems installed on the network devices. In this way, those responsible can see at a glance which devices need to be patched immediately.
3. Identification of processes
Although many core processes in the systems are standard, an inventory can identify unauthorized processes that consume unnecessary resources and can potentially be exploited. IT teams should know the most important active system processes in their environment and understand their basic activities in order to detect anomalies.
