Managed Security Services to Address Today's Threat

Cognizant cyber threat defense

Combat ever-increasing security threats to enterprise assets by evolving your data security to a proactive “MSS 2.0” solution that’s tuned to your business.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF CYBER SECURITY

Cognizant’s Cyber Threat Defense (CTD) platform provides a holistic view of your IT security to detect advanced threats, suspicious user activity, policy violations, and related risks to your organization’s data.

Your desktops, laptops, servers, firewalls, routers, switches and other technologies generate an enormous number of data points that are vulnerable to unrelenting security threats. This use of technology in modern business can put your company at risk of losing revenue, reputational damage, incurring fines for compliance violations and create a competitive disadvantage. In-house or Legacy Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) solutions are insufficient to meet tomorrow’s evolving threats.

Cognizant can help with Cyber Threat Defense (CTD) solution that delivers the next generation of managed security. Our global network of integrated Security Operations Centers (SOCs) allows continual monitoring for all of your enterprise platforms for potential threats, addressing today’s most pressing security needs, such as:

  • Security Incident Handling
  • Threat Hunting 
  • Trend Analysis for Threat Isolation
  • Major Breach Support
  • User and Entity Behavioral Analysis (UEBA) 
  • Managed Endpoint Monitoring and Response
  • Vulnerability Management and Response

The results: Increasing your visibility of both current and future threats, and reducing time to identify and remediate the risks as you expand your digital footprint.

Best practices for enabling advanced MSSP security

Advanced MSSP prioritizes alerts based on the likelihood they signal a threat, and the importance of the affected data and systems. MSSP secures your ecosystem by using AI and other technology, recommending detailed workflows for finding and fighting the most serious threats.

KEY FEATURES

MSS 2.0 NEXT-GEN SECURITY

In an environment of relentless pressure and elevated risk, Cognizant’s Cyber Threat Defense platform provides an integrated managed security solution that can scale to the volume of data while ensuring you can focus on protecting your business against attacks.

  • EVENT/LOG MONITORING & MANAGEMENT

    QUICKLY ANALYZE AND FIX ISSUES

    Your organization creates millions—even billions—of security events per day, and distilling that data down to a short list of priority offenses can be daunting. CTD helps your security team accurately detect and prioritize threats across the enterprise, and provides intelligence that enables you to respond quickly to reduce the impact of incidents. By consolidating log events and network flow data from thousands of endpoints and applications, then correlating all this information, we help speed incident analysis and remediation.

  • THREAT INTELLIGENCE

    KNOW YOUR ENEMY

    Threat intelligence is essential to identifying and responding to security incidents in an agile and effective manner. Knowing your adversaries, the landscape and their tactics can help you stay a step ahead of them. Our customized platform, powered by industry-leading threat intelligence feeds, adds context necessary to identify and prioritize critical threats to your organization.

  • INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION

    GET REAL-TIME THREAT ALERTS

    The first point of identifying an incident is based on the indicators of threat or compromise generated via alerts. With continuous and enhanced security use cases, Cognizant’s CTD platform detects known patterns of threats, which are then monitored and detected in real time by an advanced analyst team in a 24x7x365 service delivery window.

  • INCIDENT RESPONSE

    CONTAIN, ERADICATE, RECOVER

    The CTD platform’s primary goal is to help deliver an effective Security Incident Management capability to your business. To do so, we report qualified security incidents to your Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), with necessary details to quickly contain, eradicate and recover from the incident.

  • FLEXIBLE BUSINESS MODEL

    MEET YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS

    To adapt to your specific industry and company needs Cognizant’s CTD platform is offered via a flexible business model that lets you choose among Completely Managed, Hybrid or Dedicated modes, as well as a Basic, Advanced or Premium service set.

ADD-ONS

OPTIONAL ADDED SECURITY

    • Offer a comprehensive view of all vulnerabilities affecting a given service as well as those affecting your organization.
  • MANAGED DETECTION & RESPONSE (MDR)
