Managed Threat Detection

Identify and mitigate security threats.

Achieve more effective identification and mitigation of security threats. You’ll reduce your burden with around-the-clock support from 10 global security operations centers staffed with experts who have in-depth knowledge and experience working with complex network environments for highly distributed organizations. Our Managed Threat Detection service collects, analyzes and stores logs from networks, hosts and critical applications. It extends visibility beyond the network perimeter to the application layer, helping you achieve more effective identification and mitigation of security threats, and compliance validation with numerous regulatory and industry standards.

Prepare your business for compliance audits with consistent controls based on best practice frameworks and regulatory and industry requirements. We’ll monitor control performance in real time and provide you with over 600 compliance-focused reports.

Nitel customers have access to over 2,600 reports – more than 600 of which focus on addressing your compliance requirements. Run them as needed or schedule reports to run automatically to provide valuable information about alerts, events and trend data. Configurable dashboards, correlations and filters let you quickly gain value and reduce risk.

Stay one step ahead with ethical hacking.

Find the vulnerabilities in your network applications with thorough penetration testing through Nitel’s partnership with Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader Trustwave. Expert “ethical hackers,” armed with the same techniques as leading cybercriminals, attempt to hack into your network or application to help you identify network-connected assets, learn how those assets are vulnerable to attack and understand what could happen if those assets become compromised. With the help of leading security experts, we’ll learn more about your databases, network and applications and determine one of four levels of testing to suit your business.
Basic: simulates the most common attacks, typically using freely available, automated attack tools.
Opportunistic: Includes opportunistic attacks executed by skilled attackers seeking easy targets, using a mix of automated tools and manual exploitation to penetrate targets.
Targeted: Simulates targeted attacks from a skilled, patient attacker that has targeted a specific organization. Expends significant resources trying to compromise systems.
Advanced: Simulates an advanced attack executed by a highly motivated, well-funded, extremely sophisticated and unrelenting attacker.

Our penetration testing process is one of the most thorough on the market. Many providers use vulnerability scanning, which, while effective, is automated and only inspects networks superficially. Penetration testing is performed by skilled humans using intelligence and tools to determine all the potential weak spots in a network—just like a real hacker would.

Immediate response to network breaches.

Even after all your preparation and safeguards, the worst has happened—it’s a possibility for any network. But don’t let things snowball.
