• Every single connection to the Internet by your employees is another point of entry that needs to be monitored.
• Data privacy is becoming a top concern for most companies.
• Compliance with regulations such as GDPR and POPIA is confusing.
• Businesses need peace of mind that their Intellectual property is safe.

How can we be sure that our security measures are working as intended and that our risk levels are appropriate when our IT systems get more complicated with the addition of various service providers?

So, What is Monitor Secure?

Vikele introduces Monitor Secure with the knowledge that it is essential for businesses of all sizes to have visibility into and awareness of potentially dangerous activity within their business’ IT systems.

Any detected behavior or traffic that seems unusual or potentially dangerous is flagged, questioned by our skilled security engineers, and, where appropriate, brought to the customer’s or their designated technical personnel’s attention for investigation and remediation. Monitor Secure is offered to any size business as a “24x7x365 service“. Monitor Secure gives the business owner peace of mind by delivering either as a network/endpoint sensor or by utilizing feeds from current security solutions, including firewalls, to prevent any unwelcome behaviors from taking place before data is erased from the system.

What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a service that offers proactive, specifically designed threat hunting, monitoring, and response capabilities supported by a group of highly skilled cybersecurity specialists and the analysis of substantial correlated data.

MDR services provide “24x7x365” threat detection, quick alerts, prevention, and remediation, eliminating the guesswork associated with your most sophisticated cybersecurity threats. A team of experienced analysts and threat researchers manages the MDR service, which is based on a potent endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform. It’s a cost-effective, custom solution that provides the best human skills and threat intelligence for your company’s high-level cybersecurity requirements.

What business challenges can MDR services address?

The main issues that many small businesses and its security IT teams encounter are the focus of MDR suppliers. Your security team struggles to understand complicated, fragmented threat intelligence data due to the abundance of detection and response tools available on the market. This results in a large number of alerts being generated. Since many security teams lack exceptional cybersecurity experience, it is nearly impossible to cut through the noise and make sense of siloed data. A race against the clock is underway. Bad actors are constantly coming up with new ways to get around the security layers in your stack as the environment in which your business operates quickly changes.

MDR tackles the fundamental issues of complex threat detection in a dynamic threat environment. Real alerts frequently go undetected. While internal security teams concentrate on risks on an individual basis, they neglect to link little symptoms that lead to a significant attack. Advanced MDR specialists use industry-leading tools from their EDR platform in conjunction with their EDR platform to contextualize and evaluate indicators of compromise (IOC) and strategically thwart future intrusions on your company.
