When you outsource your security services to Octopus IT Solutions, our network of security experts helps to protect your business from security threats by providing software services and responding promptly to attacks when they happen.

These are aspects of a MANAGED SECURITY SERVICE PROVIDER:

– Security Operations Center (SOC)

This is a centralized function within an organization like yours that uses people, processes, and technology to monitor and enhance their security standards.

A SOC acts like the central command post of an organization

Our team of IT security professionals protects your organization by monitoring, detecting, analyzing, and investigating cyber threats that pose great danger to your IT environment.

We commit ourselves to maintaining the security of your entire IT infrastructure by monitoring and protecting your personal data, business systems, brand integrity, and intellectual property.

Our SOC team takes stock of available resources so we can get a wide overview of the possible threats that can affect your business.

We also prepare for and prevent cyber attacks from hitting your IT Infrastructure. We have tools that help us monitor your space so we can be alerted when any threat pops up.

The moment our SOC teams sense an attack, they isolate endpoints, delete files, and prevent harmful processes from being carried out.

Here are 9 major functions of the SOC:

1. Resources stock taking
2. Preparation and preventive maintenance
3. Continuous proactive monitoring
4. Alert ranking and management
5. Threat response
6. Recovery and remediation
7. Root cause investigation
8. Security improvement
9. Compliance management

Our team of experts ensures that you enjoy these functions of the SOC in your security system

– Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

This is a combined approach to endpoint protection.

With the increase in remote working systems, having effective EDR security helps to protect both the organization and its remote workers from cyber threats and attacks.

At Octopus, our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) service is an endpoint security solution that monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to any suspicious activities like ransomware and malware.

Our EDR software can protect your organization’s end users, endpoint devices, and IT assets from cyber threats that have successfully sneaked through antivirus software and other endpoint security instruments.

Our EDR gathers information about security threats from endpoints like mobile phones, laptops, and IoT devices. Then this information is carefully scrutinized to identify the security breaches. Based on our findings, we respond to the cyber threat as quickly as we can.

4 security measures we apply to keep you safe:

1. Rapid investigation
2. Remediation automation
3. Threat hunting
4. Data collection and analytics

– Management Security

To manage your company’s security, we develop and document policies and procedures that protect your IT assets from threats and cyber-attacks.

Our security management strategy gives you the necessary information your company needs to classify data and manage risk.

With advanced security management skills, our cyber security managers will oversee your organization’s security needs to make sure your data is secure.
