SCC and IBM QRadar
A security solution for businesses of all sizes
Historically, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions were complex and used principally by large enterprises. However, newer, more progressive SIEM solutions are designed for businesses of all sizes.
The challenge
The cybersecurity industry is facing a major skills shortage at a time of increased vulnerability as attacks grow in volume and sophistication. Therefore, security solutions must be designed to enable you to be effective at your job, despite limited resources. Effective SIEMs use a combination of real-time correlation, anomaly detection, machine learning and behaviour analytics to find both known — and unknown — threats. They also use advanced correlation to connect the dots and understand related threat activities. The best SIEM solutions address a wide variety of organisations, regardless of if they’re a growing business just getting started with security monitoring, or if they’re a Fortune 20 global enterprise in need of advanced use cases.
The solution

Case Study – Where we’ve done it— An SCC customer in the financial services industry leveraged SCC’s Security Operations Center (SOC) to remove common constraints around security whilst ensuring full visibility, allowing them to focus on their business. With too much data but not enough actionable information and no dedicated security consultants, the customer was at risk of multiple unidentified attacks infiltrating the network. With so much unmanageable data, the customer could only investigate what are perceived as easily recognisable cyber-attacks, creating significant volumes of false positives and little visibility of potentially harmful attacks. This lack of visibility means intrusions could not be analysed without consolidating data from multiple point systems. In a decentralised, non-SIEM environment, the customer was having to view and understand the nature of issues and alerts on several systems, in order to confirm an attack. This is a highly ineffective means of determining the root cause of an attack – as well as how to respond – and time to remediation will be dramatically increased SCC worked in partnership with the customer to provide its SOC service, enabling real time, rapid and thorough analysis of security events originating from both internal and external sources to the network. The customer is now able to detect anomalies, uncover advanced threats and removes false positives. This service is delivered form SCC’s Cyber Security Centre in the UK, where a team of Security Analysts monitor incoming alerts and events. The SOC service remains continually up to date with the latest threats and vulnerabilities provided. It then uses an advanced Sense Analytics engine to normalise and correlate this data and identifies security offences requiring investigation. |  |
