Cybersecurity firm CYSIAM is partnering with CrowdStrike to utilise the CrowdStrike Falcon Overwatch solution as part of CYSIAM’s new Cyber Defence Operations (CDO) service.
CYSIAM will launch its CDO service formally over the summer of 2021 throughout the UK, having been developed over the past two years to meet growing demand for affordable, but highly effective, protection against the exponentially increasing threat of ransomware attacks across multiple sectors.
“This past year, demand for incident response has gone through the roof,” said Dave Allan, Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer of CYSIAM. “Re-use of state-developed techniques by criminals coupled with a low barrier to entry for ransomware capability and the increased attack surface created by the COVID-19 pandemic has increased an already rapidly escalating threat curve.”
The CYSIAM solution will bring together best-of-breed technology with operational experience and expertise, at a price point that works. CYSIAM threat analysts and incident responders are all security cleared by the UK government and have experience of operating in some of the world’s most high threat and pressurised environments.
The CYSIAM solution comprises of: 24/7 Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR); Network Intrusion detection System (NIDS); Threat Intelligence (TI); Emergency Incident Response; Digital Forensics; Threat Hunting.
“What we see all the time,” Allan added, “is medium-size organisations that can afford technology but not a team of expertise, so products get bought and are either quite ineffective, or misconfigured giving a false sense of security. What we have put together is a fully outsourced solution which is technically world-leading, but also affordable for all who take cyber-risk and operational resilience seriously.”
