Explained: Security Team as a Service

We all know that organizations are dealing with an increasing variety of cyber threats that require a multifaceted approach. Just like new regulations and laws require an active attitude towards cyber security. At the same time, there is a shortage of real security specialists, let alone a specialist who has multiple areas of expertise.

Security Team as a Service (STaaS) is therefore the ideal solution for organizations that want to get started with their cyber security immediately or simply cannot find the people who meet a high standard.

At DeepBlue you can use our Security Team as a Service, where we have integrated and made available the expertise of our pentest professionals, incident response team, cyber forensic specialists, risk assessment experts and more. This unique concept offers organizations a comprehensive team of specialists so that you have your own cyber security team in an instance.

Included

Of course, we work proactively and multiple services are included. For example, we will take the cyber security of your organization to a higher level within the agreed period. We achieve this by planning in advance to test your organization during the period, guiding you in implementing new and improved controls and procedures, mitigating weaknesses found, and then testing again. All in close cooperation with you, your network team and any other partners in the chain.

Initial assessment and risk mapping

The first phase in our STaaS model is a thorough risk assessment of the scope. This crucial step involves identifying vulnerabilities within an organization’s network architecture, application usage and data processing. Our risk assessment specialists carefully analyze the organization’s threat landscape and categorize risks based on severity, exploitability and potential impact to the organization. By aligning this assessment with industry standards and best practices, we ensure that organizations have a clear security baseline.

Pentesting: detecting technical vulnerabilities

Now that the fundamental risks have been identified, our pentest team proceeds to execute simulated attacks on the organization’s infrastructure. Unlike general vulnerability scans, our penetration tests are tailored to specific threat scenarios relevant to the industry and business profile. Using a mix of automated tools and manual exploit techniques, our penetration testers focus on critical systems, application layers, and user environments to identify high-risk vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss. This hands-on approach allows us to discover advanced threats, providing deeper insight into potential attack vectors.

Cybersecurity Roadmap

Now that we have a clear picture of risks and vulnerabilities, we create a roadmap that is tailored to the specific needs of the customer, focusing on short-term and long-term cybersecurity goals. The roadmap prioritizes areas for improvement and aligns security initiatives with budget and business goals. Our roadmap covers critical aspects of cybersecurity, such as improving network segmentation, implementing advanced detection solutions, and refining user access controls. We also ensure that the plan is adaptable or modular so that we can respond to new threats and regulatory changes.

Implementing new security measures and protocols

A strong cybersecurity framework relies not only on advanced tools, but also on resilient processes and procedures. Our STaaS team works closely with you to implement a wide range of security measures, such as improving your backup management and patch management, as well as onboarding and offboarding policies to control access to sensitive data and applications. In addition, we work on incident response procedures and create an actionable response plan that enables organizations to detect, contain and recover from security incidents with minimal downtime. We define predefined roles and responsibilities so that the response team can act decisively and reduce the impact of a hack. We also provide guidance on integrating new security technologies, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, extended detection and response (XDR) and zero-trust architecture principles.

All-in-one for today's cybersecurity needs

DeepBlue's STaaS model covers all the components required for a sound cybersecurity policy. In one go and without the burden and costs of setting up your own team.

By combining the strengths of our cyberforensics, incident response, pentest and risk assessment teams, we offer a coherent service. That is tailored to the unique needs of each customer. We provide you with the knowledge and expertise you need to stay ahead of cyber threats and make security operational and accessible for you as an organization, immediately.
