Security Operations Center Support

The Security Operations Center (SOC) is the centralized location of an information technology network, system, and application monitoring capability. This location provides log and incident aggregation, attack logic application, malware engineering, intrusion detection, and intrusion prevention. The SOC is critical to event monitoring and incident response capabilities within the CM methodology. Highly capable and seasoned Chief Duty Officers (CDO) must be in place to maintain operations, architect SOC systems, and minimize false positives. Axxum personnel are currently performing SOC CDO and Cybersecurity Watch Officers to identify, prevent, and mitigate Cyber-based attacks.

Network and Incident Response

The Axxum Technologies CM process has a focus on the response to malicious incidents that occur within an information technology (IT support services) environment. Incident response activities prevent Cyber-attacks, eliminate and minimize risk, reduce operational costs, and protect agency and company data. To benefit from an incident response program, a well-established and tested process must be implemented within an organization. We have established an effective mitigation process that includes how procedures generated, documentation of mitigation timeframes and escalation procedures to be disseminated, and our experienced network and security engineering personnel are very knowledgeable in the implementation required for success. Axxum is dedicated to follow up testing and verification with regression reviews and documenting lessons learned for continual process improvement.

Intrusion Detection

The security principle of Defense-in-Depth focuses on layers of security around and within an information technology environment. Intrusion Detection is a key function of this concept and provides the capability to detect network, system, and application based attacks. This detection is provided in several ways and for example can be implemented in network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. Continuing with the concept of layers, network device intrusion detection is not sufficient for all malicious attacks, therefore software and appliance based systems are deployed. Software and appliance intrusion detection systems allow for monitoring of the events, logs, traffic, activities, and changes within an information system environment. Intrusion Detection is the main focus of a SOC and through the implementation and operation of SOC duties, Axxum Technologies continues to provide essential detection of malicious network activities.
