Telcion Managed Security is Like Having Your Own Security Team
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Remote workers. New devices and applications. Determining which people and devices can be trusted on the network. These are all areas of concern for security teams.
It's never been more important or more challenging to stay ahead of issues that might introduce risk into your environment.The main question to ask is, “Do I have the right security layers in place to protect my organization against malicious attacks?” It’s also important to make sure you have staff to deal with alerts and act in stopping those threats.
Most companies have some security products that protect parts of their devices and networks. These point products need daily management to address alerts, validate threats, and help stop threats from moving through your environment. This requires resources, tools, and a plan to ensure you and your company are protected.
Depending on the size of your organization, you may need to build your own security operations center. Another option is to outsource to a company that will manage your security operations center for you. Both options can be costly, but there is another solution.
What is Telcion Managed Security?
Telcion Managed Security bridges the gap between your toolsets and the resources to manage a well-defined security plan.
Our team takes on the heavy lifting of a security operations center, executing your customized security strategy and reducing risk in your environment. We work with you to not only bring point products and create a layered security approach, but also to develop a plan that includes many areas of focus.
What exactly do we do?
As a part of the Telcion Managed Security offering, Telcion will drive the following activities.
We’ll provide you with a security management scope with these focus areas:
Alert management from 6am-6pm
Event logging
Basic remediation of issues
Communication to your team when major threats are identified, along with a plan of action
Execution of breach plan, if needed

We’ll also conduct a Quarterly Security Review that will:

Identify gaps in security layers and make recommendations to fill them
Learn your attitude about your existing security products
Provide a roadmap for a unified security approach
Develop a managed services scope
Identify gaps in your cyber insurance coverage
Set security initiative goals and timelines, and track plan execution stages

Your company should also have an internal operations & communication strategy in place to address company-level concerns, like:
Internal communications
No external communications with explicit approval from management
Plans your company need to make to deal with compliance agencies
Engagement of legal resources needed
Internal protocols to stop breached materials from spreading
Planning is an essential part of any security offering. Let us walk alongside you to help drive your security initiatives as an extended member of your team. If you’d like to discuss your security plan and see how we can help you increase your security posture, let’s talk!
