The concepts of 'Safety' and 'Preservation from harm' are deeply embedded in our mission. And our name.

"How can Soteria help with my SIEM efforts?" In-house SIEM adoption efforts are often time, resource, and cost intensive. Without detection engineering expertise, out of the box alerts flood the Security Operations Center (SOC) with noise and false positives. More log sources and longer data retention requirements result in SIEM bills going up while security value stays the same (see diagram). Those bills overrun Information Security program budgets, taking away your ability to serve other areas of need. So, how can we help you address these SIEM challenges https://soteria.io/siem/

Conditional Access with Microsoft Intune compliance policies provides a powerful approach to controlling which devices and apps can access your email and company resources. Conditional Access works with Intune's Device Configuration and Compliance policies, and with Intune's Application Protection policies. Together they make sure only managed and compliant devices can access email, Microsoft 365 services, Software as a service (SaaS) apps, and on-premises apps.

Are you prepared to handle Incident Response in your AWS accounts? Like many things AWS Security, preparation often starts with your AWS Account structure. From the AWS Security IR Guide: It’s helpful to have a structure that supports the functions of incident response, such as having a security Organizational Unit (OU) and a forensics OU. Within the security OU, you should have accounts for: Log archival – Aggregate logs in a log archival AWS account Security tooling – Centralize security services in a security tool AWS account Within the forensics OU, you have the option to implement a single forensics account or accounts for each Region that you operate in, depending on which works best for your business and operational mode. Because it takes time to provision new accounts, it is imperative to create and instrument the forensics accounts well ahead of an incident so that responders can be prepared to effectively use them for response. The following diagram displays a sample account structure including a forensics OU with per-Region forensics accounts: For help or to answer your AWS Security questions, contact our team today: https://lnkd.in/gxeqZBnk For more details from AWS, review the AWS IR Guide: https://lnkd.in/gZ4JWQY

Security tools, while valuable and important, can be noisy. That noise creates overhead and makes locating real threats difficult and time consuming, becoming a "find the needle in a haystack" problem. Soteria Defense MDR provides many values. One of them is Quiet. Taken from a real client touchpoint, this image shows the Quiet our team delivers. The client's security platforms generated 528 alerts. We managed, triaged, and responded to them on their behalf. The result? The client's team only had to touch ONE alert for the entire month, a 528 to 1 reduction. Keep your focus on delivering your mission. Leave the cybersecurity to us. Want results like this? https://lnkd.in/gxeqZBnk
