THREATQ™ FOR THE SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC)
“The ThreatQ Platform is at the core of our threat intelligence program, helping us gain a deeper understanding of different threat actors so we can actually predict what may happen, rather than be in reactive mode and firefighting all the time.” – Ayman Al-Shafai, Head of Security Operations Center, SAIB
Threats are coming faster and are more damaging than ever before. So, the amount of threat data, both internally collected and externally sourced, that Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have to deal with is overwhelming. Alerts flood SOC dashboards and the majority of the threat data and alerts are just noise. In fact, a recent study* found that SOC team members spend about a third of their time investigating incidents that are not real and that the majority of threats are either low-priority or false positives.
Security operations center teams are charged with constantly monitoring and assessing their networks, so that they can uncover which data is relevant and important to their environment. Sifting through the noise, prioritizing analysis and response efforts, and actually using threat intelligence to make valid decisions is extremely difficult. But that’s what’s required for SOC teams to conduct alert triage – validating, verifying and prioritizing their alerts and concurrent response efforts.
You can’t hire enough skilled resources and your layers of defenses struggle to keep up. To reduce cyber risk, you have to work smarter and faster with the resources you have, by leveraging context, prioritization and automation to accelerate security operations.
ThreatQ was designed to arm security operations center analysts with a threat intelligence platform that manages and enriches their threat intelligence for them.
“With threat intelligence, you can feel like you’re looking at random pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But now, if we observe something within our technology infrastructure and bring it into ThreatQ to correlate it with other relevant data, we can put the puzzle pieces together, take that intelligence further for corrective action and share it more broadly.” – Ayman Al-Shafai, Head of Security Operations Center, SAIB
