Managed Security Services

The first step to securing your environment is to obtain a thorough understanding of what is on your network. MAD Security discovers assets on your networks by using both passive discovery and active scanning techniques, in a non-intrusive manner.

• Passive Network
• Discovery
• Active Network Scanning
• Asset Inventory
• Host-based Software
• Inventory

Finding and repairing vulnerabilities is a constant battle. MAD Security uses active network vulnerability scanning techniques to identify specific operating systems and services running on assets, as well as versions of software installed and their patches. This collected data is then compared to databases of known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, known weaknesses, and compliance issues. In addition, continuous, passive vulnerability monitoring is layered on top of the active scanning, correlating the data gathered by asset discovery scans with known vulnerability information to provide context for security incident response and remediation.

• Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring
• Attack Vector/Avenue Identification
• Continuous Compliance Monitoring

Over the years, hacking techniques have become more sophisticated and evolve daily, making detection and response difficult. Continuous monitoring is one of the most reliable methods for identification and tracking of attacks on your systems and data. Whether on the lookout for an unauthorized employee viewing confidential data or a malicious outsider trying to steal sensitive data, monitoring is indispensable for a strong security posture. Additionally, monitoring is a requirement for just about every major compliance framework and regulation, from PCI DSS to HIPAA and beyond.

• Network Intrusion Detection (NIDS)
• Host-based Intrusion Detection (HIDS)
• File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)
• 2,000+ Correlation Directives
• Hundreds of Threat Intel Data Feeds

Preventative security measures are often unsuccessful with new polymorphic malware and zero-day exploits, making it even more important to be on the watch for intruders and nefarious activities. Behavioral monitoring for your network, systems, and users is essential for spotting these threats can be useful in investigating suspicious behavior and policy violations.

Humans continue to be easy targets for attackers wishing to establish a foothold in your environment. The attackers are able to exploit these targets through clever phishing and spear-phishing tactics that prey on the trust and lack of vigilance present in most workforces. Having humans that understand information security and how to minimize security risk in daily operations greatly improves your organization’s ability to protect its sensitive information assets. We provide fully managed testing, analysis, and reporting on your organization’s human responses to simulated phishing attacks by combining phishing assessments with “teachable moments” to reinforce security awareness and learning, and ultimately your human behavior. Additionally, we integrate the results of these assessments into our monitoring platform to fine-tune and greatly improve our threat detection capabilities.

• Simulated Phishing Attacks
• Teachable moments reinforcing security awareness learning
• Results correlation with threat detection capabilities

Effective security intelligence provides the information necessary to detect threats and subsequently contain them. While it is impossible to eliminate 100% of the threats we face, reducing the time it takes to respond and contain them is certainly achievable. We focus on the processes and technologies used to detect compromises to coordinate the responses.

The many high-profile breaches in the past few years have demonstrated that prevention does not always work, even for organizations that have seemingly unlimited security budgets and resources at their disposal. New threats arise every day; It is impossible to keep up with the constant stream of bad actors, their tools, and the infrastructures they leverage to attack networks. MAD Security curates threat data and combines it with our supplemental information about these tools, methods, and infrastructures to produce quality threat intelligence to better guard your business.
