In the ever-changing cybersecurity environment, proactive detection of threats and deployment of appropriate cybersecurity solutions are the focus of defense.
For enterprises to effectively deal with complex cybersecurity situations, strong allies are crucial - ThreatSonar, the threat identification and analysis platform launched by TeamT5, has been adopted by many managed security service providers (MSSPs) in Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Conduct compromise assessment for end clients to achieve the same benefits as regular health checks; when a cybersecurity incident occurs, use ThreatSonar to perform incident response to avoid the spread of damage.
This article will introduce the powerful functions and application scenarios of ThreatSonar, and how it can bring new business opportunities to managed security service providers (MSSPs). We look forward to vendors contacting us and creating business opportunities together.
The power of ThreatSonar
ThreatSonar is more than just a tool, it is a powerful shield that proactively defends against online threats.
By deploying the threat identification and analysis platform ThreatSonar, users can quickly screen possible cybersecurity risks and threats in the field, and comprehensively inventory the cybersecurity status of endpoints starting from the hosts that were severely compromised in the incident. Users can also analyze key network system records to investigate possible intrusion access points of hackers, obtain root causes of intrusions, grasp hacker movement paths, and take inventory of threat damage.
Powerful features include:
- Intelligence-driven smart threat forensics
Built-in thousands of APT backdoor signatures provide the latest intelligence to every endpoint for threat forensics. Also it allows the import of external intelligence such as hash, IP, domain, Yara Rule and IoC to precisely defend potential targeted threats."
- Lightweight deployment and background execution without affecting daily operations
ThreatSonar agent can be deployed on thousands of computers in an enterprise, and runs with less system resources. Personnel can carry out computer work as usual without the burden of running forensic.
- Compromise assessment offers the whole picture of the incident, shortening the investigation time
ThreatSonar not only analyzes the current state of the host, but also investigates past event trajectories through log analysis, presents the sequence of events on the Timeline, and tracks lateral movement and data outflow paths through cross-endpoint correlation.
- Possess memory forensics and behavior analysis to effectively identify unknown malicious programs
Identify malicious programs hidden in the memory, executed and to-be-executed programs, attacker's hack tools, and after-attacks log on the host, and automatically identify hundreds of dynamic behavior anomalies.
- Active threat hunting with visualization of correlating potential compromised endpoints
Statistical correlation analysis finds unknown attack techniques, establishes baselines to lock on abnormal behaviors, and tags potential unknown threats, such as abuse of rare programs or legal system tools in the organization; malware with digital signatures, etc.
Application scenarios of ThreatSonar: compromise assessment, incident response
It can be used in two scenarios: compromise assessment and incident response. ThreatSonar is an intrusion assessment tool that quickly scans for potential threats.
In the past, MSSP relied on manual work, which was time-consuming and costly, and was not a business model that could expand the scale of operations. Now, MSSP imports ThreatSonar into the workflow, allowing professionals to scan potential threats easily and effortlessly, and quickly assess the health of the security environment for clients. The reports generated by ThreatSonar can further guide clients to purchase suitable cybersecurity solutions, and then achieve a complete procurement guidance process and create greater business opportunities.
As an incident response tool, ThreatSonar provides incident response teams with professional and reliable tools for threat hunting.
In the past, incident response personnel could only check three computers for cybersecurity threats every day, and it would take 1 to 4 weeks to write and produce a complete threat hunting result report. Now, MSSP introduces ThreatSonar into the operation process, and can check more than 1,000 computers (or terminal devices) within 1 hour, and can submit a detailed threat hunting result report within 1 day to 1 week. Covering the aforementioned ThreatSonar detection threats, MSSP can help clients eliminate threats.
With ThreatSonar, MSSPs will be able to provide clients with better and more comprehensive services and earn significant profits.
How ThreatSonar creates new business opportunities for managed security service providers (MSSPs)
The ThreatSonar threat identification and analysis platform has a simple and hassle-free process from deployment, use, to output result reports. MSSPs can easily get started, reducing the burden on team personnel; MSSPs can also gain in-depth understanding of clients when conducting intrusion assessments, incident response, etc. of the cybersecurity environment and immediate needs, and then recommend extended cybersecurity solutions to bring business opportunities and profits.
Benefits of ThreatSonar for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)
- Simplified deployment: Tools are lightweight and compatible with existing endpoint solutions
- Professional support: Backed by TeamT5 experts with over 20 years of experience in cyber threat research
- Increased profitability: TeamT5 offers a flexible payment mechanism that charges per report rather than the number of endpoints scanned. If the MSSP initially determines from the report that the endpoint has a high-risk security threat and requires further interpretation, then the MSSP needs to pay to unlock the ThreatSonar report; if no endpoint with major security threats is found, the MSSP can save the cost of unlocking all endpoint scan reports.
- Expand advanced service opportunities: Intrusion assessment before an incident occurs and contingency response after an incident are common needs of enterprises, and it is also a critical moment when enterprises urgently need MSSP assistance. MSSP can use the professional ThreatSonar platform as an important tool to improve the quality of cybersecurity services for corporate clients.
Conclusion
ThreatSonar is an essential tool for cybersecurity health checks. Managed Security Service providers (MSSPs) proactively conduct regular checks for end clients. It can grasp the health of cybersecurity and help achieve all-round defense.
