In today's globalized, digital economy, it's essential to monitor and guard your company's data against increasingly advanced cyber threats.

This is getting increasingly complicated by security skill shortage and alert-fatigue caused by too many security tools and not enough people.

An effective security program is a balance of people, process, and technology. Security monitoring involves the deployment of a Log Management and SIEM solution, that uses industry best practices proactively, and has the people to manage 24/7 monitoring.

This whitepaper by Cygilant covers why it is important to consider each of these areas in the decision-making process and where to leverage a trusted partner.

Chief information security officers (CISOs) and CIOs responsible for security struggle with limited resources to confront complex digital threats and compliance mandates. The threats are becoming more sophisticated. Attacks more numerous. Costs are soaring. Creating an effective in-house security program for mid-market financial services is getting harder every day.

Luckily, the emergence of a new service approach to security—called managed detection and response —is the basis for a business partnership that results in a continuous, stronger, more up-to-date security program for mid-market financial services firms.

This whitepaper explores a new, auditable approach by third-party service providers to create and strengthen a modern security capability in order to add value for your business.

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team of cybersecurity professionals whose task it is to monitor networks for cyberattacks and suspicious behavior, as well as improve internal security controls and procedures. Some large enterprises will have their own SOC, but for many law firms that's simply out of the question.

For a law firm, a managed SOC service company like Cygilant can make all the difference. In addition to providing expertise and a repeatable SOC process for effective and scalable operations, SOC analysts can provide detailed reviews of triggered events, and advise on security threats with in-depth knowledge about a law firm's environment, instead of treating each alert in isolation as good or bad.
