Enterprise-wide visibility
Today's enterprise environment is complex to manage on many levels.
On the Device level, you want to regulate access, Protect against web and email-born threats, and secure data residing and being transferred from the Device. Ensure only safe and patched applications can run and monitor usage deviation from a standardized baseline. All of that is on windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android Operating systems.
On the Network level, you want to monitor security-related bandwidth spikes, connections to unknown and rogue destinations like C&C, questionable usage of cooperating networks, and existence on the network of unmanaged devices on-premise or in the cloud. Where cloud-based applications are in use you might be thinking of monitoring unsanctioned applications as well as access to business applications. Not to forget email and web data flows.
On the Cloud level, you are aware of the shared responsibility model so you want to take steps to secure access to business workloads. You want to make sure that cloud assets are in the right security groups with regulated internet egress points. Business applications servicing your customers might be subject to industry regulations so you want to ensure compliance.
Any good device management solution should include the following 3 components
-
Enterprise-wide visibility with layered protection
-
Detection and response capabilities
-
Simplified central management ecosystem
Simple central management
As our partner, WithSecure would say ..."Complexity is the enemy of good cyber security". Managing multiple assets in siloes is of itself a risk. It slows down operations, increases admin overhead and makes effective response to threats that much harder. The majority of companies in this situation are there due to the acquisition of different technologies over time. No need to panic however, Micro Nova consultants can provide guidance in building an integrated ecosystem. The key is not to build everything at once but to start with an Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA) that serves as the foundation upon which everything else is built. At this point, we would also say that Cyber Maturity is hard to achieve without the ESA in place.
Detection and Response
In the market today there are many so-called Endpoint Detection and Response tools (EDR). What you should be looking out for in EDR solutions is their ability to detect anomalies across the kill chain. More about the kill chain here Cyber Kill Chain® | Lockheed Martin.
When under attack, an EDR tool should pick up on a few things:
-
point of entry - how did the attacker get into my network?
-
details on payload - what weaponized file was used? how was it downloaded, and who clicked on what?
-
method of spread - how did the attacker move laterally?
-
exploited applications/processes - which vulnerable applications were exploited and how?
-
communications - how is the attacker communicating with the controlled device/bot?
-
files accessed - which files were accessed, altered or exfiltrated and by which account?
All the above points must be understood and correlated so the designated analyst can now respond with corrective actions like killing running processes, deleting offending files and gathering more threat telemetry.
With all these goals identified, the question in your mind now is how do I manage all this with a small team?While there is no silver bullet answer, nearly all industry standards recommend risk-based centralized and enterprise-wide security management platforms. These platforms must have centralized monitoring capabilities giving you that enterprise-wide threat visibility. You simply cannot discuss cyber maturity without a platform that brings everything together.
