Strengthening Your Defenses: Our Comprehensive Approach to Cyber Security Operations

At O2Cyber, we understand the evolving landscape of cyber threats and the critical importance of robust security operations to safeguard your organization's assets and data. Our comprehensive approach to Cyber Security Operations is designed to provide proactive threat detection, rapid incident response, and continuous improvement to help our clients mitigate risks and stay ahead of cyber adversaries.

"Next generation SOC should be driven by predictive threat intelligence , incidents detected based on adaptive kill chain, remediation built on well defined automated workflow process and equipped with a well practiced CSIRP process" -O2 Cyber SOC team​

Our approach

Security Operations goal is to create an ability to analyze risk proactively which will reduce threat exposure and improve detection capabilities using advanced technology and fine tuned processes. SOC should be built to respond to the incidents that will impact the brand value and operations of the organization in a catastrophic manner.

Comprehensive Monitoring and Analysis

Our Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) operates 24/7, utilizing advanced Behavioral Analytics SIEM technology to monitor your systems, networks, and endpoints for any signs of suspicious activity. Our team of skilled analysts is trained to analyze vast amounts of data from multiple sources, including network logs, IAM logs, and DNS/domain logs, to detect potential threats and security incidents in real-time.

Early Threat Detection and Response

With our Early Threat Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, we are able to identify and respond to threats before they escalate. By correlating data from various sources and leveraging behavioral analytics, we can detect anomalies and potential indicators of compromise, allowing us to take immediate action to mitigate the threat and minimize the impact on your organization.

Proactive Threat Intelligence Integration

Our approach to Cyber Security Operations is enriched by the integration of threat intelligence feeds from reputable sources. By staying abreast of the latest threat intelligence, including emerging threats, attack vectors, and malicious actors, we can better anticipate and defend against evolving cyber threats.

Incident Management and Response

In the event of a security incident, our team is equipped to respond swiftly and effectively. We follow a structured incident management process, which includes containment, eradication, and recovery procedures, to minimize the impact on your business operations and restore normalcy as quickly as possible.

Continuous Improvement and Optimization

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond incident response. We believe in continuous improvement and optimization of our Cyber Security Operations. Through regular assessments, reviews, and feedback mechanisms, we strive to enhance our processes, technologies, and expertise to better serve your evolving security needs.

People operational model

Similar to incident review levels, our typical SOCs adopt a hierarchical approach. In this hierarchy, analysts and engineers are categorized based on their skill set and experience. A typical team might be structured into four levels with new advancements in technology, we are adopting the next generation approach, for example.

Level 1: First responders

The first line of incident responders are group of security analysts who will be eyes on glass 24x7 and watch for alerts.

Level 2: Cyber Incident remediation

These personnel can quickly get to the root of the problem and assess which part of your infrastructure is an issue.

Level 3: Proactive security operations

The security managers are informed and specialist crew are involved and begin moving from reactive to proactive security actions.

Level 4: Cyber Security Incident Response Process

At the SOC’s most advanced level are managers and chief officers and they will be more engaged and execute this process.

Level 1: First responders

The first line of incident responders are group of security analysts who will be eyes on glass 24x7 and watch for alerts. They are primarily tasked to look at the urgency of an alert, can it be solved within their confines which is automated playbook / orchestration or follow up on established playbooks. Based on the above they play a role to escalate to Level 2. They are also responsible to run statistics and SOC reports for review. Behavioral analytics and AI based beta models are adopted for advanced needs to act as L1.

Level 2: Cyber Incident Remediation

These personnel can quickly get to the root of the problem and assess which part of your infrastructure is an issue or at risk. They will follow a well defined playbook process and makes decision to remediate the problem based on knowledge of the issue and environments. They will flag certain issues for additional investigation outside of the incident response protocol and when to escalate to Level 3.

Level 3: Proactive security operations

The security managers are informed and specialist crew are involved and begin moving from reactive to proactive security actions. Personnel are likely expert security analysts who are actively searching for vulnerabilities within the network and hunting for threats. They will use advanced threat detection tools to diagnose weaknesses and make recommendations for overall security improvement. Within this group, you might also find specialists, such as forensic investigators, compliance auditors or cybersecurity analysts. They will decide to escalate Level 4.

Level 4: Cyber Security Incident Response Process (CSIRP)

At the SOC’s most advanced level are managers and chief officers and they will be more engaged and execute this process. This group oversees all SOC team activities and is responsible for hiring and training, plus evaluating individual and overall performance. Level 4's step in during crises, and, specifically, serve as the liaison between the Security team and the rest of the organization. They are also responsible for ensuring compliance with organization, industry and government regulations.
