What are we doing?

Using lessons learned from responding to a wide range of threats, Sectio Aurea consultants assess your organization's ability to manage specific threats and provide the guidance you need to make practical and meaningful improvements.

​Whether you need to build a new incident response feature from scratch, improve your existing processes, or invest in specific technology, Sectio Aurea can help you improve your posture defense against persistent and sophisticated real-world attacks.

We will assess the organization's cyber defense capability, which typically includes their security operations center (SOC) and incident response functions (IR). After evaluation, you will receive a report with a detailed roadmap and priority recommendations for improvement.

We use a combination of activities, such as analyzing existing documentation, analyzing logging configurations, deep-dive workshops, table top exercises, and simulated testing of existing security measures, to rigorously review and validate your organization's cyber defense capabilities. , from the perspective of the six areas of incident response:

Governance

Foundation for effective cyber defense capability that supports the overall business mission.

​Communications

Communication processes involving internal and external stakeholders before, during and after an incident.

Visibility

People, processes and technology that detect threats in the organization's infrastructure.

Intelligence

Attacker information used to understand and identify threat tools, tactics, and procedures (TTP).

Answer

How does the organization verify and classify incidents, assess their severity, and determine appropriate response actions?

Metrics

Measurement and development strategies needed to maintain and improve cyber defense capabilities over time?

How do we do that?

02

Documentation review
We review relevant cyber defense documentation, such as incident response plans, manuals, run-books, communication plans, and crisis management plans.

02

Onsite Workshops

Covers each of the basic incident response skills as well as a test of how the SOC operates with the incident response team

02

Logging Configuration Review

A review of critical log samples to validate existing solution configurations.

02

Tabletop Exercises

Exercises based on discussions with technical and executive stakeholders so that we can assess the incident response process.

02

Simulated testing of existing measures

Attacks are simulated in your network in a secure and controlled way, after which we evaluate the effectiveness of existing measures.

02

Reporting and debriefing

A report detailing prioritized tactical and strategic recommendations, as well as an actionable roadmap so that you can improve your organization's cyber defense capabilities.

What do you get?

An assessment of current cyber defense capability

​Detailed recommendations for improvement

​An actionable road map

Tabletop Incident Response Exercises 

Evaluate your cyber incident response plan using defined scenarios

IR Tabletop Exercises

The exercises assess the processes, tools and efficiency of your organization by responding to cyber attacks both strategically and technically.
During each exercise, we will introduce you to more  many custom scenarios based on real-world experience in a collaborative environment (table top)  to observe the actions and decisions taken by your SOC.

Why do it?

Regardless of whether you have invested heavily in cyber defense, there is still some uncertainty about your ability to properly identify cyber threats. 

Identify differences between documented or expected and actual responses.

​Recommendations based on real-world incident response best practices.

Fast, efficient, non-invasive evaluation.

What are we doing?

We first develop an understanding of the organization's threat profile, operational environment, and specific areas of concern. We conduct an on-site workshop with key people and introduce dynamic scenarios based on the attacker's behavior, techniques and tactics observed during your incident response activity.

We offer two distinct curricula: Technical Incident Response and Executive Crisys Management. Best practices are recommended to be performed annually, separately or as part of a coordinated exercise. 

Technical Incident Response 

it is ideal for the management of security teams and staff looking to test their response process capabilities.

The right audience

Cyber Security Response Team (CSIRT), Security Manager, Technical Staff (such as network, server, email). 

Focus Areas

When and how to isolate hosts on a network,
When you reinstall a system,
How should analysts follow the defined IRP, communication plan, and escalation matrix?
When and how to call a third party?

Executive Crisis Management

It is ideal for executives who want to test the effectiveness of their crisis response strategies. After the Workshop, we inform the organization and send a written report after the action, which includes a step-by-step summary of the script entries and responses.

The right audience

CISO, Executive Managers of Departments, PR, Legal. 

Focus Areas

When to pay for ramsomware?
Making decisions about the impact of isolation tactics
Requirements for disclosure of breaches to authorities and stakeholders 
Best practices for notifying customers
Best practices for media communication

Threat Hunting Assessment

Prepare your defense against the unknown threat

Threat Hunting

Develop cyber resilience by identifying undetected threats, discovering security loopholes, improving visibility, and reducing the impact of the incident.

Attackers operate undetected in organizations today, taking advantage of visibility gaps, misconfigured security controls and information technology.

Detecting and finding hidden threats in your environment can be cumbersome, and requires knowledge of attack patterns, qualified resources to identify and disrupt threat activity, and the right technology to perform scale analysis in on-premises and cloud environments.

Without specially designed information, expertise and technology, cyber security personnel cannot detect today's threats and cannot implement effective security controls.

Why do it?

​Focused and personalized recommendations on security architecture, technologies and controls

Reduce the average time it takes to detect and fix threats

Improve the speed, efficiency and accuracy of your incident response process

What are we doing?

Our security experts collect endpoint, network and cloud telemetry  to determine historical and active threats. 

The working methodology goes beyond a simple scan of compromise indicators in your environment. Instead, our approach is based on experience in responding to cyber intrusions and adopts a focused, personalized approach for each client.

We get an understanding of the environment - Interviews and questionnaire with stakeholders

We use standards from the threat modeling industry - the MITER ATT & CK framework

We customize threat hunting playbooks - Based on the risks and concerns specific to the organization

Examining Telemetry - Advanced Security Analysis

We find evidence of the historical compromise - the analysis of forensic artifacts
