Eyes and ears

威尔逊知道他需要一种准确、自动化的方式来检测和应对网络威胁. 他首先考虑是否可以通过增加10人的IT团队来完成这项工作. However, 他很快得出结论,当今企业面临的威胁数量之多,只有专业的第三方供应商才能提供全天候的保护 & Weinstine needed. 这就是Rapid7管理检测和响应(MDR)服务的由来.

“我希望有一家外部公司一直充当我们的耳目. 所以我自己做了研究,与同行交谈,看看哪家公司适合我。.

“When I started this process, our account manager was excellent. 她对Rapid7充满了热情,所以她对这个产品非常开放. She helped me along the way and had all the answers,” Wilson added. “We looked at seven companies...当我参与进来的时候,就像我在接受采访一样,就好像你是我部门的一部分. It came down to three different providers, 在Rapid7和我一起工作的每个人都同样见多识广,充满激情.”

A new CISO

In addition to the analytics, insighttidr带有一个EDR代理- Insight代理支持Windows, Mac, and Linux—as well as multiple forms of deception technology, ranging from honeypots to honey users, credentials, and files.

MDR服务开始于insighttidr的危害评估和部署. Winthrop & Weinstine quickly reached 95% deployment of the Insight Agent, thanks to being a 100% virtual organization. 当insighttidr检测到一个实时威胁时,发现威胁的能力就开始发挥作用了, 另一个红队正在进行多方面的攻击模拟, says Wilson.

“It was interesting,” he adds, 因为当我和我的MDR客户顾问(CA)交谈时,我告诉他这只是一次练习, our CA responded, ‘let’s have our team investigate and respond as though it’s not.“我认为这很棒,并展示了Rapid7想要测试和改进他们团队的积极心态, too.”

如果企业想要将严重攻击或违规造成的成本和声誉损害降到最低,那么在杀伤链中尽可能早地预防威胁是至关重要的.

Wilson还对Rapid7团队提供的一对一帮助印象深刻,比如识别有风险的错误配置. 他指出,他收到的建议有助于“改变我的思维方式”.”

What’s more, 威尔逊有信心,他发送的任何信息都会被团队准确而详细地回答. “If we have an issue, 我们知道我们可以把它发送到电子邮件中,有一群人在照顾你,” he says. “I never feel like I’m sending something into a black hole.”
