ActZero Providing Services

Detection

The service provides all-around protection across the layers of a business's IT infrastructure, from mobile devices to the cloud. It can be started with endpoint protection through solutions like CrowdStrike and Windows Defender to block threats in real-time, along with continuous monitoring. Extended to protect the cloud and email accounts, end-point security can sometimes detect unusual behavior from services like Office 365, Google Workspace, and AWS so that unauthorized access can be prevented. It also ensures identity security through the monitoring of user behavior and alerting businesses to compromised accounts or malicious activity. Beyond this, there are measures to prevent device, network, and phishing threats with AI-powered tools that will automatically block such threats from reaching the business and mitigating risks in real-time. Enhanced vulnerability management is also offered for continuous updates and real-time security flaw response across the network to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.

AI

This service uses advanced AI technology, Sixth Sense, to provide best-in-class cyber security across all digital platforms. A capability called Sixth Sense can pick up thousands of signals within real time, enabling quicker recognition and response to security threats by detecting anomalies quickly. The outcome of the solution is that data from endpoints, networks, and the cloud form a unified defense model with the capability of proactive detection and response. One of its distinguishing features is the Time Travel Assistant, which enables businesses to perform retrospective analysis on security incidents to identify and eliminate potential future vulnerabilities. In addition, ZeroIn provides a visual overview of the IT environment within an organization, indicating security issues across assets while simplifying protection management. It aggregates security data, providing actionable insights and streamlining response actions toward critical issues.

Response

The service features MDR, around-the-clock protection using a combination of automation and expert threat hunters to ensure fast and accurate active response to threats. In addition, this product features a 24/7 Security Operations Center, filtering and analyzing alerts, bringing only relevant and quality notifications. Threat hunters work proactively in line with identifying and mitigating attacks daily, keeping the system safe. The service reduces noise, cuts costs, and ensures only the most critical alerts are escalated by automatically taking out the manual tasks and filtering false positives. This allows businesses to concentrate on real threats and not be burdened by unnecessary alerts, which means that it results in continuous protection as well as efficient security management.

Advise

This service provides expert cybersecurity guidance to help businesses advance their security posture and compliance efforts. It ensures that the client maintains constant visibility of their security status by providing professional analysis, prioritized risk remediation recommendations, and tailored advice. The organization can track their progress and manage their security and compliance controls effectively with some core self-service tools: cloud security posture management and a customer portal. Businesses can also tap into elite expertise from TAM and vCISO, who provide strategic direction, answer technical questions, and offer clear guidance to help evolve in compliance needs and security challenges.
