How to get the most out of Darktrace with Integrity360

Written by Matthew Olney | 13 November 2024 08:00:00 Z

Organisations worldwide are increasingly turning to AI-driven solutions like Darktrace to defend their digital environments. Darktrace’s autonomous response technology is renowned for its ability to detect anomalies and respond to cyber threats in real time. However, the platform’s full potential often goes underutilised. Many organisations face challenges in configuring, optimising, and maintaining their Darktrace environments to deliver peak security. This is where Integrity360 steps in.

 

What are Managed dSOC Services?

With Integrity360’s Managed dSOC (Darktrace Security Operations Centre) Services, businesses can access Darktrace’s full capabilities, ensuring continuous optimisation, proactive threat detection, and round-the-clock monitoring. This blog will explore the best ways to maximise your Darktrace investment with Integrity360’s Managed dSOC Services and show how each service tier adds value to your cybersecurity strategy.

Darktrace is a powerful tool, but effective cybersecurity demands more than just having the right platform in place. Many organisations lack the resources, expertise, or time to manage Darktrace’s complex configuration and continuous optimisation fully. A recent report from Gartner emphasises the importance of optimising cybersecurity tools, stating that organisations that fail to do so could experience up to a 30% increase in security incidents over the next three years.

For Darktrace to operate at its peak, it requires more than initial configuration. Regular adjustments, monitoring, and threat intelligence inputs are essential for keeping up with evolving cyber risks. Without a dedicated team to manage Darktrace, organisations may struggle to respond to incidents in real time, leaving them exposed to potential breaches.

Integrity360’s Managed dSOC Services are designed to bridge this gap, providing the expertise, resources, and support needed to harness Darktrace’s full potential.

Introducing Integrity360’s Managed dSOC Services

Integrity360’s Managed dSOC Services offer a tiered approach to Darktrace management, enabling businesses to select a level of support tailored to their security needs and resources. Each tier builds on the previous one, delivering increasing levels of service, coverage, and threat management capabilities. The three service tiers are:

  1. Managed dSOC: Foundational monitoring and breach detection.
  2. Managed dSOC+: Enhanced 24/7 monitoring and protection for high-value assets.
  3. Managed dSOC+ MDR (Managed Detection & Response): Advanced threat hunting and incident response support.

Let’s break down how each service tier helps your organisation make the most out of Darktrace.

  1. Managed dSOC: Laying the Foundation

Managed dSOC is the foundational service level, designed to provide essential security coverage and ensure your Darktrace platform is optimised for peak performance. Here’s how this tier enhances your Darktrace experience:

Key Features

  • Daily Indicators of Compromise (IOC) Reports: Darktrace continuously monitors for unusual behaviours and potential threats. With Managed dSOC, Integrity360 analysts summarise this data daily, offering a clear view of emerging risks and actionable insights to address them before they escalate.
  • Breach Detection: Integrity360’s breach detection identifies and notifies organisations of high-risk exposures, ensuring immediate response capability and improved security posture.
  • Darktrace Platform Optimisation: Integrity360’s experts continuously fine-tune your Darktrace environment, adapting it to new threats and minimising false positives. This optimisation ensures that Darktrace’s capabilities are maximised, giving your team a highly tuned, efficient threat-detection system.

Benefits

The Managed dSOC tier is ideal for organisations new to Darktrace or those with foundational cybersecurity requirements. By leveraging Integrity360’s expertise, companies can address baseline security needs, maintain daily visibility into their risk landscape, and optimise Darktrace for maximum efficiency without overburdening in-house teams.

  1. Managed dSOC+: Elevating Your Security with 24/7 Monitoring

For businesses requiring continuous protection and targeted asset safeguarding, Managed dSOC+ provides enhanced capabilities beyond the foundational tier. This tier focuses on around-the-clock threat monitoring and adds essential features for critical asset protection.

Key Features

  • 24/7 Active Monitoring: Managed dSOC+ provides uninterrupted monitoring of Darktrace. Integrity360’s analysts are always on call, identifying and responding to anomalies as they occur, ensuring that emerging threats are contained swiftly.
  • High-Value Asset Tagging: Certain assets are vital to business operations, and Managed dSOC+ prioritises these systems by tagging them for heightened monitoring. If an incident involves a high-value asset, immediate alerts are triggered, giving your team priority information to protect what matters most.
  • Monthly Threat Reports: Each month, Managed dSOC+ includes a comprehensive threat report, detailing the threat landscape, recent alert activities, and recommendations for ongoing security improvements. This monthly review helps keep organisations informed of emerging trends and enables better security planning.

Benefits

Managed dSOC+ is suited for organisations that need consistent, robust security monitoring. With 24/7 active monitoring, businesses can significantly reduce the window of exposure to threats, benefiting from real-time alerts and immediate actions. The high-value asset tagging also allows organisations to prioritise their protection efforts on the most critical parts of their infrastructure, ensuring continuous, focused coverage.

  1. Managed dSOC+ MDR: Proactive Threat Hunting and Incident Response

For enterprises facing complex threats and a dynamic risk landscape, Managed dSOC+ MDR offers the highest level of service, integrating Managed Detection & Response (MDR) capabilities. This advanced tier brings Integrity360’s expert analysts directly into your security operations, collaborating with your team to manage incidents and reduce threats proactively.

Key Features

  • Proactive Threat Hunting: Managed dSOC+ MDR analysts actively seek out threats within your environment, identifying potential risks before they become incidents. Leveraging threat intelligence, Darktrace’s AI insights, and Integrity360’s expertise, this approach helps prevent breaches from occurring in the first place.
  • Enhanced Incident Management: Integrity360’s incident management team coordinates closely with your internal teams to address and mitigate high-severity threats. By providing immediate support during incidents, Managed dSOC+ MDR helps organisations minimise the impact of breaches and return to business as usual faster.
  • Continuous Darktrace Optimisation: Integrity360 conducts regular assessments and fine-tuning of your Darktrace environment, adapting the system to new threats and industry developments. This ongoing optimisation ensures that your security measures stay aligned with evolving risks, enhancing your organisation’s resilience.

Benefits

Managed dSOC+ MDR is ideal for organisations with complex and high-stakes security requirements. It allows businesses to take a proactive stance in their cybersecurity strategy, addressing potential risks head-on and minimising the chances of an incident escalating. By offering direct, hands-on support, Managed dSOC+ MDR transforms Darktrace into a powerful, fully managed defence system, capable of meeting the most demanding security needs.
