Keep a constant eye on network activities, looking for unusual patterns or anomalies that could indicate a security threat.
Monitor endpoints (servers, workstations, mobile devices) for suspicious activities, malware, or unauthorized access.
Collect, analyze, and correlate logs from various sources to identify security events and potential incidents.
Regularly perform automated vulnerability scans to identify security weaknesses in systems and applications. This includes internal and external scanning.
Continuously assess and prioritize vulnerabilities within the organization's systems and applications.
Coordinate with relevant teams to apply patches and updates to address vulnerabilities.4. Risk Assessment:
Conduct risk assessments to evaluate the potential impact and likelihood of exploitation for identified vulnerabilities. This helps in prioritizing remediation efforts.
Prioritize vulnerabilities based on their severity, exploitability, and relevance to the organization's infrastructure and data.
Generate regular reports on the status of vulnerabilities, remediation progress, and key metrics. Share this information with relevant stakeholders.
Deploy and regularly update antivirus and anti-malware software on endpoint devices to detect and remove malicious software.
Enable firewalls on endpoint devices to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic, blocking unauthorized access and potential threats.
Implement EDR solutions to detect and respond to advanced threats, providing real-time monitoring, threat analytics, and automated response capabilities.
