Is it Time to Rethink Your Security Stack?

Written by | Jul 26, 2024

The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, requiring organizations to regularly evaluate their security stack to ensure it not only offers the highest level of protection, but is operated by a firm with a long track record of developing, implementing, and properly maintaining the highest quality security tools.

In light of broader issues, like the recent CrowdStrike outage, let’s take a look at what Trustwave offers and how we can support any organization considering a change to their security stack.

 

De-Risk Technology Transitions

With the array of issues happening in cybersecurity technology lately, it behooves all organizations to take a serious look at their security stack with an eye toward paring it down to help reduce the threat landscape.

Trustwave has a long track record of de-risking technology transitions with proven methodologies, golden images, and playbooks. Most recently, as part of our launch of a series of Microsoft-related security offerings, including a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service specifically for Microsoft, we've been working with new clients moving to Microsoft Security.

 

Trustwave: A Comprehensive Cybersecurity Solution

While there is nothing inherently wrong with CrowdStrike’s focus on endpoint and cloud protection, Trustwave’s broad portfolio of services and solutions provides an almost all-encompassing umbrella of protection for any size organization. Trustwave’s holistic portfolio spans tools like Advanced Continual Threat Hunt backed by the elite Trustwave SpiderLabs team that delves deeply into the Dark Web searching for threats, to the finest email security platform on the market, MailMarshal.

Offensive Security – One often overlooked aspect of a security program is uncovering issues before they become a problem. Trustwave recognizes this need and has taken the lead in this category by creating a robust suite of offensive security solutions that includes Red Team exercises, penetration testing, threat intelligence and vulnerability scanning. All delivered by our elite Trustwave SpiderLabs team. By simulating real-world attacks, we help organizations identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their defenses.

A purely reactive security posture is no longer sufficient. To effectively protect against sophisticated threats, businesses must understand their adversaries' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Our human-led offensive security programs provide invaluable insights into an organization's weaknesses, empowering them to stay ahead of cybercriminals.

Managed Detection and Response -Trustwave's MDR enhances threat visibility across distributed workforces, leveraging 24/7 monitoring, proactive hunting, and rapid response to safeguard cloud and on-premise environments. The cloud-native Trustwave Fusion platform provides real-time security insights by ingesting data from multiple sources, connecting clients to Trustwave's security cloud, and delivering actionable intelligence. Dedicated SpiderLabs experts optimize client security posture, conduct incident reviews, and provide rapid response, backed by industry-leading threat intelligence. Beyond core MDR, Trustwave offers complementary services including penetration testing, digital forensics, database security, email protection, ransomware defense, and advanced threat hunting.

Co-Managed SOC (SIEM) - SIEMs are complex and require ongoing maintenance and optimization by highly skilled security engineers to help security analysts make sense of the output and avoid a flood of alerts. Realizing the promised benefits of a SIEM investment—and its close counterpart SOAR (security orchestration automation and response)—becomes elusive, at best, without the proper resources and operational processes in place to make it work as intended. Trustwave:

  • Reduces alert noise by up to 90% which helps avoid alert fatigue
  • Identifies active threats with 24x7 real-time global threat monitoring
  • Enhance your team with tenured SIEM and SOC experts.

These features help clients extract greater value from SIEM investments and they retain ownership of all SIEM improvements made during our collaboration.

Rapid Time to Value -Trustwave is focused on delivering a rapid time-to-value and getting clients onboarded in as little as 10 days with Trustwave MDR, Trustwave Co-Managed SOC, and Trustwave Security Technology Management (STM) services. Trustwave understands clients may feel uncomfortable when swapping one service out for another, but our ability to quickly get up and running is designed to set minds at ease.
