1 CASSIDIAN CYBERSECURITY SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTRE SERVICES PROTECTIVE MONITORING SERVICE In a world where cyber threats are emerging daily, often from unknown sources, information security is something that no organisation can afford to take for granted. Cassidian CyberSecurity has the expertise to take on the security challenges facing today s organisations, providing services and systems that work tirelessly to stem the tide of cyber threats.

2 Protective Monitoring Overview An understanding of user and systems behaviour is fundamental to planning and constructing the defence of an organisation s business infrastructure against the cyber threat. Traditional security technologies such as firewalls, anti-virus and intrusion prevention systems are designed to detect or prevent specific types of known exploitation such as the execution of malicious software, the connection to prohibited services or the infiltration of a system from unauthorised external entities. Protective monitoring services capture information from system and user actions that may not necessarily be deemed as malicious or unauthorised in isolation by security tools, but may still introduce unmanaged risk into the organisation nonetheless. Protective monitoring and analysis may also identify a new threat (eg: zero day) that has not previously been categorised by the security vendor and therefore not detected by their predefined technical policies. Security Information and Event Management Cassidian Limited (hereon referred to as Cassidian, and incorporating Cassidian UK, Cassidian CyberSecurity and Regency IT Consulting) utilise Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) technology to deliver Protective Monitoring services. The SIEM acts as a central repository for security related events from a broad range of system sources such as network routing devices, operating systems, and applications as well as the traditional security technologies. In addition to the collection of security related events, the SIEM technology is used to correlate, filter and normalise the data to provide a comprehensive near real-time and historical view of the system security posture. In its native format, the vast array of event data that is collected from reporting systems and devices is difficult to interpret and associate with a potential cyber attack. Using specialist tools and expertise, Cassidian analysts are able to translate this data into useable information and meaningful reports that can be understood by business management. These security reports are associated with current relevant threat data to ensure that the organisation is presented with a global information assurance picture to support safe business operations. 2

3 Business Benefits The benefits of Protective Monitoring are far reaching, not only in providing information to support business operations in the face of the cyber threat, but also to meet with the compliance needs of organisations in a range of business domains. This includes the data recording, system monitoring and log storage requirements associated with best practice policy and standards such as GPG13, ISO27000 and PCI DSS. Cassidian specialists have an excellent understanding of the fundamental security requirements in these publications, as well as the systems and networks under their jurisdiction and are best placed to design and deliver a protective monitoring policy to meet with the requirements of a modern networked business environment. Providing a filtered informational view ensures that suspicious or unusual network activity is immediately visible and not obscured by authorised systems and network activity. Our specialists achieve the optimal security view by applying specific technical security policies to the SIEM and to the associated reporting devices and sensors. These technical policies are based on the individual customer s threat profile and their specific compliance requirements. The technical security policies are further enhanced using advanced aggregation, correlation and analysis skills to determine event relevance and criticality. Cassidian Expertise and Experience Cassidian also provides expert advice to ensure that all relevant reporting devices are configured to report pertinent events and that any specialist security sensors are strategically positioned to deliver the optimal protection to critical business assets. Cassidian leverages an extensive library of mature ITIL based processes aligned with best practice to support the incident response process and a range of support functions such as updating logging requirement and maintaining system software levels. Additional processes to manage change and configuration have also been developed in partnership with our customers to ensure that the risk of service disruption is minimised and that the security posture is maintained.

Service Levels Service Availability and Performance metrics will be detailed, post mutual agreement, and captured in a formal SLA between Cassidian and the Customer. Each Service Performance Level is categorised as either a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) or a Performance Indicator (PI). A KPI will be subject to the Service Credit regime. A PI will be measured and reported to the Service Consumer but will not be subject to the Service Credit calculation. PI s are measured so that the Cassidian can make reasonable efforts to improve reported performance as part of the Continuous Service Improvement process.

These constraints and dependencies will be established during the initial engagement with the customer. Ordering Process Cassidian will utilise the G Cloud catalogue ordering process.
