An organization always needs two components of defense services and defense security is one of the components that is always needed in an organization. Will be a very powerful approach in the field of creating a security control center (SOC), for this purpose the management and control of defense and interception systems will be undertaken by water teams and specialized and professional monitoring of the collected data. Criminology and threat tracking teams will do.
For active protection, existing tests and security measures should be used to identify vulnerabilities and security audits should be fully established, as well as vulnerability assessments that will ensure the security of applications and intrusion testing operations will complement this process. Also newer items such as: Examining cloud security and social engineering and red team simulations will be more specific about active protection.
Security assessments based on active vulnerability detection are also another area of active protection, meaning that the blue team must always update on published vulnerabilities and system reports.
Active identification means that the blue team expert always manually designs active signatures for malicious files based on the discovery of event repositories and updates the signature repositories signature mechanisms.
Active detection always monitors the communications and exploits of the protocols, and if Exfiltration techniques are observed by experts in the MITRE ATT&CK documentation, immediately intercept and data mining the communication and if the communication is invalid. We will destroy. This is always one of the most effective ways to hunt threats and easily expose obscure transaction data.
One of the effective factors in accurate and complete observations is the issue of collecting clusters of events that can be done for each of the network services, endpoints, routers, firewalls, etc. These events can be filtered and managed with an integrated management by search engines such as Elasticsearch.
Products such as Splunk, a security signature scanner, can also be used to intelligently generate emergency messages, as well as operating system potentials, such as Windows Event Tracing, a kernel-level module that can track all operating system events. Recorded and collected.
The performance of the blue team alone can not show full performance against advanced attacks (APT), for this reason, in the engineering of the Security Control Center, purple team experts are always used to control and protect through organizational defense mechanisms. A team of experts at the red team level always controls and monitors systemic commands and actions.
Another useful part of the policy and strategy of defensive operations is that in the event of complex attacks such as infecting systems with ransomware, they can quickly reverse engineer and neutralize ransomware and do not need an external expert. Criminology can be very effective in establishing a security control center.
The integrated cyber defense architecture developed by CTI or Cyber Threat Intelligence can integrate all of our service organizations into attack indexes or IOCs, resulting in a comprehensive defense, as well as TTP mapping. Or Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures should be designed and the complete behavior of the attack occurred.
One of the solutions to increase the level of security in an organization is to fully simulate all methods of advanced level attacks on the relevant organization and using all the attack plans at each stage, the points of weakness or weakness in the mechanisms. Fully identify the defense and give the organization the power to counter a variety of anonymous techniques and gain access.
One of the most effective steps to improve the quality of web services and software products and operating systems is to discuss vulnerability detection manually by experts who can identify critical level vulnerabilities and minimize risk. In the arena of competitions, CTF is always well prepared for this.
