WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
AGILE CYBERSECURITY OPERATION
The implementation of cybersecurity requires the use of a wide variety of security technologies that help identify and defend against threats. For this, agile operation of cybersecurity describes a new approach to how security companies and their technologies can be used.
THE DIFFERENCE
THE NEW OPERATING MODE FOR AGILE CYBERSECURITY
With a collaborative security system, individual products no longer have to be installed in order to use the respective providers. Instead, the system already includes everything that is necessary for their use. This makes the new operating mode available, how security companies can be used.
01 INITIAL INSTALLATION
The collaborative security product contains all available vendor modules in an inactive form and is installed instead of a traditional product.
02 UNLOCK PROVIDERS
The inactive vendor modules can be unlocked at any time, in any combination, with the help of technology licenses and with this are available for use.
03 ACTIVATE TECHNOLOGIES
After unlocking, the technologies of the selected providers appear in the system and can be activated in the various security features as desired.
BENEFITS FROM AGILE CYBERSECURITY OPERATION
If the agile operating mode is used to implement cybersecurity, instead of individual security solutions, this opens up many new perspectives.
NEW STRATEGIES
AGILE CYBERSECURITY STRATEGIES
The agile operation of security companies opens up new possibilities for designing security strategies. The quick activation of technologies and changes in the hot-swap process mean, that additional planning aspects are available. When and how long do I use a provider? Where and for what purpose do I use which technology and which approach? To give an impression of how diverse agile operations can look like, we present a few examples below.
PERMANENT COMBINATION
A popular strategy is the permanent use of multiple security providers. This approach aims at a general improvement in security in order to increase the detection rate through collective defence. For each security feature, the best providers can be selected for optimal performance and compatibility. Fast investigation techniques for real-time tasks and more complex techniques for time-controlled analyzes.
MONITORING INSTANCES
Security providers can not only be used permanently, but also be activated for certain periods of time. A possible strategy would be to use another provider for spontaneous or regular inspections. This would mean that an additional level of knowledge or another approach would be used to check the security status. These monitoring instances can be used to identify threats that have so far gone undetected.
EMERGENCY USE
Even if only a single security vendor is to be used, the agile operation has its advantages. In the event of a security incident (e.g. a virus outbreak), that the selected technology cannot deal with, help is available on click. Another provider, with the necessary threat detection, can be activated quickly and handle the dangerous situation.
VARIABLE USE
One of the great strengths of agile operations is flexibility. This can be used to select providers that match the security requirements of the respective areas of application. However, it can also be used to pursue the strategy of presenting potential attackers with changing challenges in order to make it more difficult for them to adapt to the attack target. An ongoing rotation of providers is also possible for this.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
COLLECTIVE CYBER DEFENCE
The evolution of cyber threats creates a threat landscape that is steadily increasing in size, complexity and diversity. It has thus become impossible for a single security company to identify and prevent all global threats in good time. One of the main tasks of the association is therefore the technical cooperation of security providers to enable a collective cyber defence. Find out here how the interaction of independent security technologies can help you with cybersecurity.
COLLABORATIVE SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Collaborative security solutions are the new way to protect against cyber threats. They allow the flexible activation and combination of security companies on click, within a joint security product. This operating mode provides a new way of dealing with security technologies and new perspectives for designing cyber defence. Get to know the first collaborative systems and convince yourself of their efficiency.
AFFILIATED CYBERSECURITY COMPANIES
Get to know the security companies and their approaches to cyber defence that are already available through the Tabidus Technology Association. Each of our providers has its own individual technology and level of knowledge in order to detect known and unknown cyber threats. Select the vendors that are right for you at any time, combine them as you wish and put the providers into operation by click.
