Cloud Management

Several times a month a major data breach is reported in the media. Often these are ransomware attacks on major international businesses. But more often and less reported are a myriad of security breaches affecting SMEs.

In this environment, it's good to know that your Cyber security is up to date and as robust as it can be. This is where IG CloudOps a Darktrace partner with years of experience in AWS & Azure security can help you.

Darktrace, stands out as a cutting-edge platform designed to autonomously detect and respond to cyber threats. Yet, the true potential of Darktrace can only be realised when coupled with the expertise of a trusted partner.

The Dynamic Challenge of Cloud Security

As businesses embrace the advantages of cloud computing, they are simultaneously exposed to a myriad of cybersecurity challenges. The expansive nature of cloud infrastructures makes you susceptible to a diverse range of threats, from sophisticated cyber-attacks to subtle vulnerabilities.

Darktrace, with its ability to detect anomalous behaviour using artificial intelligence, provides a robust line of defence. However, the successful implementation of Darktrace and the subsequent security hardening of cloud infrastructure demand an experienced team. At IG CloudOps we have the experience of working with hundreds of AWS & Azure deployments to provide secure infrastructure and keep it secure.

Why Darktrace Alone Isn't Enough

Darktrace operates on the principles of self-learning and adaptive defences. While this makes it a formidable tool, the optimal utilisation of its capabilities requires a deep understanding of an organisation's unique IT landscape.

This is where the role of a trusted partner becomes indispensable. Partnerships bring a wealth of experience, industry insights, and a proactive approach to the table, ensuring that Darktrace is not just a tool but a seamlessly integrated element of the broader cybersecurity strategy.

The Value of Partnership in Darktrace Implementation

Tailored Solutions: A partner's in-depth understanding of an organisation's operations allows for the customisation of Darktrace to specific needs. This ensures that the platform aligns seamlessly with existing security protocols and complements the overall cybersecurity posture.
Efficient Implementation: Darktrace's capabilities extend beyond mere installation. A partner streamlines the implementation process, reducing downtime and ensuring a smooth transition. This efficiency is crucial in a landscape where every minute of downtime can translate into potential vulnerabilities.
Continuous Monitoring and Response: Darktrace is designed to operate autonomously, but the human touch is irreplaceable when it comes to interpreting and responding to complex threats. Partnerships bring a proactive element to the equation, ensuring continuous monitoring and swift responses to emerging threats.
CloudOps can make the difference: Our CloudOps cloud management dashboard can tip the balance in making a simple dashboard rolling up a simple view of your cloud infrastructure and its health. This can be rolled out across the business and show issues form the cloud providers, your infrastructure, support issues, risks and cost information all in one place.

Security Hardenings: Beyond Detection to Prevention

While Darktrace excels at threat detection, the goal of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy goes beyond identification. Partnerships add a layer of proactive security hardenings, fortifying the cloud infrastructure against potential threats. This involves not just reacting to incidents but actively implementing measures to prevent them.

At IG CloudOps, we include security audits and penetration testing using market-leading tools to complement your existing security hardening approach.

Conclusion

Cyber security is a moving target, and having a partner who has worked and continues to work with many different implementations in AWS & Azure by your side is a big advantage. Our knowledge could just tip the balance in your favour.

By leveraging partnerships for Darktrace support, you can remove the conventional boundaries of cybersecurity, creating a resilient defence against the evolving threat landscape. As businesses navigate the complexities of the digital age, the role of partnerships in enhancing the capabilities of cutting-edge technologies like Darktrace becomes not just advantageous but imperative.
