Security Architecture Review
Your security program is only as good as the setup. A third-party security architecture review of your organization’s existing capabilities and security controls can ensure that you are set up for success.
Understand the Risk of Your Cybersecurity Infrastructure
The security architecture review (SAR) evaluates your organization’s security capabilities to ensure deployed technologies are aligned with relevant compliance requirements. Our team of experts provides industry-recommended enhancements to your existing solutions as well as recommendations for new controls to augment and further mature your company’s security practices.
See How Your Security Architecture Stacks Up
The results of the security architecture review will provide a robust report showing how your organization stands with regard to its current foundation of security infrastructure investments. We provide details on the techniques used to traverse your organization’s cybersecurity capability based upon the MITRE ATT&CK framework and NIST CSF, including what encompassed the attack, the complexity to improve your security, and the cost to resolve any findings.
Our team not only reviews how your security technology is integrated but also tests processes and your people to successfully provide an on-demand exercise for your team.
Put Your Security Controls to the Test
We leverage BAS technology to test security controls because threat actors and security attacks will test them in similar ways. By doing a paperwork review of security controls, you’re only testing the intention of the implementation. Our security controls test ensures that your intention makes it to implementation and continues to be followed well after the last audit. Our team of experts is skilled at finding gaps in security technology similar to how threats attack your network.
Use Threat Intelligence to Identify Threat Actors
During our Security Architecture Review (SAR) we utilize similar techniques as threat actors. We incorporate threat intelligence to verify your team is identifying real attacks throughout your network security architecture. Our incorporation of threat intelligence allows us to proactively evaluate risks that threaten your network, and it grants you a deeper understanding of how real-life threats can compromise your systems. Additionally, our threat modeling strategy lets us classify threats and define countermeasures that are necessary to respond to potential threats. We can even help your organization take it a step further by providing a SAR based upon a certain threat actor.
Ensure the Effectiveness of Your Cybersecurity Tools
Would your SOC or managed security service be able to identify a certain attack? Would your security technology protect you from a new vulnerability? We can provide our Security Architecture Review as a managed service and help run monthly SAR’s based upon your requirements and/or support your needs on demand so you’re able to answer questions from your executives and Board of Directors. With cyber attacks on the rise, it’s critical for you to understand the effectiveness of your cybersecurity tools.
Gain Insight into Your SIEM
You’ve ensured you have the best cybersecurity tools set on the market, and you’ve done all the integration work and built a great capability. Don’t let it go to waste! By having a SAR conducted you’ll understand if your SIEM is tuned so your analysts can effectively identify threats. Our team of data analytics professionals can conduct a SAR to identify issues within your SIEM, such as ineffective correlation rules or too much noise and not enough signal to focus on the right alert. The SAR will help your team understand the weakness within your SIEM implementation and enable you to build the most effective capability for your team to identify the next threat.
When Is a Cybersecurity Architecture Review Needed?
Our security architecture assessment allows us to hone in on areas for improvement in regards to your organization’s security infrastructure. By pulling data from your different configurations, diagrams designed and implemented by your cyber security architects, and additional controls, we provide a current assessment of your organization’s security posture as well as detailed recommendations predicated on security industry guidance.
It’s important that we conduct a review of your cybersecurity architecture in order to identify pervasive issues with your environment’s security. Security architecture assessments are best suited to organizations that are interested in maximizing their security-related ROIs: these assessments evaluate an organization’s security requirements and demonstrate how secure their existing deployments are. After we complete a cybersecurity architecture review, we’re able to provide organizations with a roadmap that demonstrates how best to rectify existing security deficiencies in their environment.
The following list outlines conditions that necessitate a cybersecurity architecture review:
- Previous instances of breaches
- Upcoming network expansions and redesigns
- Upcoming organizational expansions that exceed your network’s current capacity
- A greater need for network environment-provided data and insights
- Potential network infrastructure-related vulnerabilities
- Existing contractual obligations with clients and business partners
- Upcoming or recently finalized M&As
- Recently applied network environment changes
- Recently applied upgrades to your network
