Defense against cyber threats
Active Cyber Defense
Cyberattacks today are dynamic, multi-stage, and often go unnoticed. Traditional, purely reactive security approaches are no longer sufficient to effectively counter these threats.
KÖTTER Cyber Security pursues an active, risk-based approach with Active Cyber Defense, which enables early detection, continuous evaluation, and targeted mitigation of threats. As part of Cyber Defense as a Service , modern analytics technologies are combined with a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) to process security incidents holistically along the TDIR model (Threat Detection, Investigation & Response).
Continuous detection and contextualization of threats
The focus is on the continuous analysis of security-relevant events across various systems, users, and data sources. Security data from cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments is centrally collected, normalized, and contextualized.
This includes:
- Real-time correlation of security events and aggregation into attack scenarios
- Analysis of user and system behavior using UEBA
- Dynamic risk assessment and prioritization
- Use of threat intelligence for enrichment and contextualization
Risk-based approach in the operational SOC
Active Cyber Defense is based on a consistently risk-oriented model. Instead of analyzing individual alerts in isolation, events are evaluated in context and prioritized according to their actual risk.
Within KÖTTER Cyber Security’s 24/7 SOC, incident handling follows clearly defined roles and processes. Through the close integration of monitoring, analysis, and in-depth investigation, security-critical incidents are identified more quickly, accurately assessed, and escalated in a targeted manner. This significantly reduces the number of irrelevant alerts and increases the efficiency of the entire security organization.
Automated and structured response (TDIR)
A central component of Active Cyber Defense is the fast and consistent response to identified threats based on the TDIR model.
Through the use of automation and clearly defined processes, the following are achieved:
- Standardized response workflows implemented through playbooks
- Automated actions triggered for defined scenarios
- Incidents integrated into ITSM and incident management systems
- Targeted involvement of analysts in complex incidents
