At MindPoint Group we are dedicated to safeguarding our customers and protecting their digital assets with best-in-class security solutions. With cyberattack headlines in the news daily, we all know the importance of a fast-acting, responsive Security Operations Center (SOC) as the first line of defense against cyberattacks.
A critical component of MPGSOC’s success is the ability to conduct thorough and secure investigations using Silo for Research, the secure browsing product from Authentic8. Cyber threats can originate from anywhere, making the safe research of potential vulnerabilities paramount. By providing one-time-use browser instances for analysts to investigate threats, Silo empowers our SOC team to identify and mitigate risks before they can cause harm.
To this end, MindPoint Group SOC Manager Tom Bakry spoke with Shannon Ragan at Authentic8 about Silo for Research, MPGSOC, and the MindPoint Group approach to cybersecurity. Check out the interview and read more, below.
MPGSOC shields businesses from cyber threats.
Our SOC team serves as the vigilant guardian of our clients’ digital assets, and we work 24/7/365 to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. We view our role as more than just a service; we strive to be an integral extension of our clients’ security teams.
MPGSOC commitment to customer security begins with building deep partnerships with our customers, understanding their unique challenges and tailoring our approach accordingly. As an extension of your security team, we can proactively identify vulnerabilities and implement effective countermeasures.
Investment in tools and training is a cornerstone of our philosophy. This includes access to cutting-edge technology, ongoing professional development, and a culture of continuous learning. By empowering our team with tools like Silo for Research, we enhance our ability to protect your valuable data and assets.
Security teams must stay ahead of the bad guys.
Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, employing advanced tactics and tools to compromise systems and steal sensitive data. These attacks are no longer isolated incidents; they are often coordinated campaigns designed to inflict maximum damage. The rapid advancement of AI adds to the complexity of the threat landscape, with bad actors using AI to create highly convincing phishing emails, develop new forms of malware, and automate attacks at staggering scale.
To effectively combat these challenges, MPGSOC adopts a proactive and adaptive approach to security. From developing robust incident response plans to socializing cybersecurity awareness among our employees, MPGSOC seeks to stay ahead of malicious threats. Our approach to alerts is “guilty until proven innocent:” every alert deserves enough investigation to determine if it is a credible threat. This standard is only achievable with the right training and tools for the job.
Silo at work in MPGSOC
Silo for Research is a strategic asset in our toolbox, acting as a crucial abstraction layer between our SOC analysts and the potentially hostile digital world. By creating a controlled environment, Silo protects our team from malicious attacks while allowing them to delve deep into suspicious activities. When faced with questionable emails, links, or websites, our analysts can confidently leverage Silo to examine these elements without exposing our infrastructure to risk.
One of the most significant benefits of Silo to MPGSOC is the ability to facilitate comprehensive investigations. Whether analyzing a suspicious email or exploring a potentially compromised website, Silo empowers our analysts to gather critical evidence and insights. By isolating the investigation within the Silo environment, we collect data without opening any doors to our own systems. This capability is essential for building robust case files and supporting incident response efforts.
