Cyber Threat Disruption is the third pillar of our SOC365 core. Disrupt proactively neutralises threats, implementing rapid response strategies and sophisticated offensive security techniques to disrupt attacker operations effectively. Our innovative disruption methodologies ensure that your organisation remains resilient against evolving cyber threats.
In cybersecurity, merely detecting threats isn’t enough; swift disruption is essential to minimise impact. The SOC365 Disrupt pillar immediately engages upon threat identification, actively neutralising threats and preventing attackers from achieving their objectives. By disrupting adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) at the earliest stage, we significantly reduce the potential damage and ensure continuity of operations.
Our AI-managed blocklists and proactive abuse notification systems play a critical role in rapid threat disruption and supporting Cyber Threat Disruption. SOC365 automatically generates and continuously updates blocklists based on real-time threat intelligence and advanced AI analytics. Malicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, and file hashes identified by our threat intelligence and detection systems are instantly propagated across defensive controls, effectively blocking attackers at the perimeter.
SOC365 automatically sends abuse notifications to relevant hosting providers, registrars, and ISPs, facilitating swift takedown of malicious infrastructure used by attackers. These proactive disruptions significantly degrade attackers’ capabilities and force them to continuously adapt, disrupting their operational effectiveness.
Deception technology is a powerful cyber threat disruption strategy within the SOC365 Disrupt pillar. Cyber Defence deploys an extensive network of distributed deception devices—including honeypots, tarpits, and decoy systems—strategically placed within your environment. These deceptive assets lure attackers away from critical infrastructure, engaging them in controlled environments designed to gather intelligence and impede their progress.
Honeypots simulate enticing vulnerabilities, services, or sensitive data, effectively capturing attacker attention and activities. Tarpits further slow attacker movements, deliberately delaying network responses to frustrate reconnaissance and exploitation attempts. Deception technologies not only waste attacker resources but also provide invaluable real-time intelligence, revealing detailed insights into attacker methods, tools, and intentions.
SOC365’s Disrupt pillar integrates seamlessly with real-time threat intelligence and attribution capabilities. Leveraging continuous analysis of attacker behaviour, infrastructure, and methodologies, our cybersecurity analysts proactively attribute threat activities to specific adversaries or threat groups. This precise attribution enables tailored disruption strategies, specifically targeting attacker infrastructures and resources, dramatically reducing their operational effectiveness.
By aligning disruption measures directly with attributed adversary groups and known TTPs documented within frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, our approach ensures targeted and highly effective disruption actions.
SOC365’s Disrupt strategies emphasise rapid response, enabling automated containment actions at the moment threats are identified. Integration with our AI-driven detection systems ensures immediate, decisive disruption. Automated containment measures include quarantining compromised endpoints, terminating malicious processes, restricting lateral network movement, and isolating network segments to prevent threat propagation.
Our automated containment and response workflows are continuously refined through machine learning-driven insights, ensuring optimal efficiency and effectiveness. This rapid automated approach significantly shortens response times, effectively disrupting attacker operations before they can escalate.
Cyber Defence employs advanced offensive security techniques, proactively disrupting attacker activities through targeted cyber countermeasures. These proactive actions include active denial-of-service against attacker-controlled infrastructure, traffic redirection to safe monitoring environments, and neutralising command-and-control channels used by threat actors.
By proactively disabling attacker capabilities, we effectively degrade their operational effectiveness, forcing adversaries to continuously redevelop their methodologies and tools, significantly raising their operational costs and complexity.
The SOC365 Disrupt pillar tightly integrates with the Detect and Defend pillars, creating a robust and comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem. Detection insights immediately trigger disruption actions, ensuring rapid neutralisation of threats. Simultaneously, proactive disruption supports the Defend pillar by actively reducing the operational effectiveness of adversaries, thereby strengthening overall organisational resilience and security posture
The effectiveness of SOC365’s Disrupt strategies has been demonstrated through multiple real-world engagements. Recently, a targeted phishing campaign against a maritime logistics organisation was swiftly disrupted by our automated abuse notification and deception technologies. Our distributed deception systems successfully diverted attacker attention, while proactive AI-driven blocklists neutralised phishing domains and associated malicious infrastructure rapidly, preventing any operational disruption or data loss.
Cyber Defence’s SOC365 Disrupt pillar proactively neutralises cyber threats, significantly reducing your organisation’s risk exposure. Leveraging advanced technologies, automated containment, distributed deception, and real-time threat intelligence, we ensure your cybersecurity defences remain robust and resilient against sophisticated adversaries.
