At Magna5, we believe the only way to stay ahead of cybercriminals is being proactive. This begins by building an ironclad, multi-tiered defense.
Organizations can leverage Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to monitor the security integrity of their cloud, on-premises and hybrid IT environments, including endpoints and cloud applications. With multiple essential security capabilities in one solution, MDR simplifies and accelerates threat detection, incident response and compliance management. It includes log management, SIEM (Security Information and Event Monitoring), compliance reporting, vulnerability assessments, behavioral monitoring and much more – all managed from a 24/7/365 Operations Center.
There is a race for time between applying updates before hackers exploit your vulnerability. Vulnerability assessments evaluate internal and external network devices, servers, applications, databases, on-premises and cloud-based solutions for weaknesses threat actors could exploit. In-depth audits, with recommended prioritized remediation plans, give organizations instant access into where IT systems might be vulnerable to threats and what risks lie within your network.
Endpoint Security provides visibility into your endpoint activity to quickly detect and mitigate advanced threats before they reach and jeopardize data across your organization. No matter where your employees are working, endpoint security can safeguard your network infrastructure with real-time detection and response.
Next-generation Firewalls and Intrusion Protection Systems add an additional layer of protection to your perimeter security. Quickly identify and block malicious traffic on the network with 24/7/365 traffic flow monitoring, visibility and security coverage over a wide range of network protocols. Signature tuning and device management ensures corrective action responses, filtering and access restrictions are current with best practices and industry standards.
Patch Management ensures that threat actors cannot exploit out-of-date vulnerabilities and bugs in operating systems and cloud-based software. Staying current with patches can be a difficult task for limited IT staffs. Many large data breaches have been caused because organizations have failed to patch vendor releases in a timely manner. Patch Management services provide a cost-effective and streamlined solution to stay secure, current and optimized with regular testing and scheduling of planned and emergency patches.
While anti-virus alone is not enough to protect organizations from emerging threats, it can ensure end-user devices are protected from the spread of malware and trojan viruses. Anti-virus protection fortifies endpoints through a layered defense approach with unified prevention, multi-stage detection and automated response.
When all else fails and systems are locked due to ransomware, Data Backup and Disaster Recovery can restore compromised systems and data from a virtual environment in the cloud. Users can be back up and running quickly with zero data loss.
