Managed Security
Every year, an increasing number of organisations adopt digital transformation initiatives, resulting in greater reliance on cloud technologies and remote work. While these advancements offer substantial benefits, they also introduce complex security challenges. Threat actors are utilising increasingly sophisticated techniques, launching numerous attacks that can have serious commercial consequences.
To efficiently identify and mitigate these evolving threats, it is essential for all organisations to leverage advanced cybersecurity solutions. Given the heightened complexity and frequency of cyberattacks, many businesses lack the specialised personnel required to manage security in-house, often due to cost constraints and workforce shortages. As a result, companies are progressively turning to professional Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) such as IBSCY to manage some or all aspects of their security operations.
IBSCY brings extensive experience to safeguarding critical assets and sensitive information. Our Managed Security Services take proactive approach, enabling organisations to detect risks before they materialise and disrupt business activities. These services contribute to reduced risk exposure, strengthened compliance, and lower total cost of ownership, ensuring the continuous protection of digital assets both on-premises and in the cloud.
As a leading MSSP, IBSCY delivers comprehensive management and monitoring of security systems and devices. Our offerings include managed firewalls/ UTM, virtual private networks (VPNs), vulnerability assessments, antivirus solutions, intrusion detection, and more. Tailored to meet the requirements of today's digital workforce, our solutions address prevalent security concerns, empowering clients to concentrate on core business objectives.

The advanced AI algorithm is highly accurate, continuously adapting to an organization's environment to detect anomalies and respond to new and previously encountered threats.
Monitoring
Security monitoring frequently serves as the initial response to security incident notifications. This process involves ongoing oversight of security events- such as changes in user access and authorisation- and thorough analysis of system activities across the network. Security monitoring typically incorporates automated tools and intrusion detection systems to provide administrators with real-time alerts regarding suspicious or anomalous activity. Routine examination of log files and network traffic facilitates rapid threat identification, while close coordination with incident response teams ensures swift investigation and resolution of detected issues. Comprehensive documentation and reporting of monitoring efforts not only promote adherence to regulatory requirements but also support the continual enhancement of security protocols.
Security Advisory
Security Advisory refers to a thorough assessment of an organization's IT systems, policies, and procedures, designed to evaluate their effectiveness in protecting data and managing cybersecurity risks. This process includes reviewing infrastructure, access controls, data protection strategies, and regulatory compliance. By conducting such audits, organizations can identify vulnerabilities and receive well-founded recommendations to enhance security measures, strengthen compliance, and reduce exposure to cyber threats.
Upon conclusion of the audit, auditors deliver a comprehensive report detailing findings, talored recommendations, and actionable steps. This document provides organizations with a clear roadmap to address identified security gaps, improve their overall security posture, and mitigate the likelihood of cyberattacks or data breaches. Performing regulat IT security audits is essential for maintaining robust cyber defences and ensuring ongoing compliance with dynamic security standards and regulations.
A Security Advisory may include:
- Risk Assessment: The audit typically begins with an analysis f the organization's IT security risk-identifying relevant threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts- to prioritise focus areas.
- Compliance Verification: Auditors evaluate adherence to industry-specific requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS, alongside internal security policies and protocols.
- Infrastructure Assessments: This component reviews network architecture, hardware, software, and configurations to detect weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
- Access Control Analysis: Auditors examine user access rights, privilages, and authentication processes to ensure only authorised personnel can access sensitive assets.
- Data Protection Review: The audit assesses methods for storing, transmitting, and safeguarding data, including encryption practices, backup protocols, and data retention policies.
- Incident Response Testing: Simulated security events may be staged to assess the organization's preparedness and capability to respond to incidents effectively.
- Security Policies and Procedures: A review of existing security policies, procedures, and guidelines is conducted to determine their adequacy and effectiveness.
- Security Awareness and Training: Auditors evaluate employee training initiatives to ensure stadd understand best practices and are aware of potential threats.
- Third-Party Assessments: Where third-party vendors or services are used, their security postures are also assessed to ensure adequate risk management.
- Documentation Review: Auditors review documentation related to security controls, incident response plans, and other relevant security processes.
