Challenges
The local Council recognised how difficult it was to manage cyber security, especially trying to find and retain specialised security resources.
They determined that partnering with a specialist managed security service provider was the best approach to protect the Council whilst also maximising the return on a limited IT investment capacity.
The Council IT team also lacked cyber-threat detection and response capabilities and was concerned this exposed them to unsustainable risk.
Solution
Cythera recommended its award-winning, cloud-based Managed Detection and Response service—powered by Rapid7 and a dedicated local SOC team—to deliver 24/7 monitoring, automated incident response, and expert analyst support as an extension of the Council’s IT operations.
Cythera proposed its award-winning cloud-delivered Managed Detection and Response service which incorporates 24x7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) as a service, automation and proactive incident response to detect and respond to security threats using a combination of Australian based, human-led operations team and Rapid7 advanced cyber monitoring software.
Cythera utilises Rapid7’s extremely powerful InsighIDR, InsightVM and InsightConnect Pro Automation software which includes over 900 behavioural-based threat detections, monitors more than 700,000 vulnerabilities and has the capacity to efficiently automate incident response.
Cythera also incorporated a named lead security operation analyst into the service who is responsible for working as an extension of the Council’s IT operations team to deliver human-led security event triage, reponse and operational support.
Outcome
The local Council has improved their security posture and reduced overall cyber risk.
The Council’s IT team have a trusted partner to deliver managed cyber security services.
