Using customized insights to overcome ever-evolving threats

Our ASTORS award-winning 360-degree security ecosystem includes a Network Operations Center (NOC), Security Operations Center (SOC), and Government Care Center (GCC). Our team uses big data analytics to process an average of 150 billion events daily across our networks.

Offering a holistic, integrated cybersecurity approach

We combine big data analytics, advanced machine learning, novel threat intelligence, and accelerated detection times to scale and respond to emerging threats as quickly as they evolve. Through our recent acquisition of RigNet, our cyber capabilities have expanded, increasing our global impact and portfolio. Our focus areas include:

  • Detection and response
  • Threat intelligence
  • Infrastructure engineering
  • Analytics
  • Forensics
  • Development

Expand your visibility with security assessment services

Cybersecurity threats are compromising critical data and systems with increasing sophistication and frequency. Knowing how to quickly identify, mitigate, and even prevent these attacks has become essential to keeping networks operational and ensuring data integrity and security. Our history paired with expert analysis of data across our network gives us a diverse view of the global cyber threat landscape, allowing us to deliver expert-level security solutions. Our holistic approach to security will provide a customized and comprehensive vulnerability assessments and penetration testing with measurable results.

Detection and response

The detection and response team must constantly defend and hunt across all internal systems and network entry points to prevent compromise. Suspicious behavior will initiate our incident response process to gather and analyze evidence, determine impact, identify the root cause, and provide remediation instructions.

Cyber threat intelligence

Advanced situational awareness and a deep understanding of emerging threats is crucial to staying ahead of adversaries. The cyber threat intelligence (CTI) team provides actionable, relevant intelligence that comprehends, synthesizes, and prioritizes current vulnerabilities and critical systems to reduce risk.

Development

On the front lines of technological innovation and ingenuity, the SOC uses automation to capture and accelerate human intelligence to create correlative machine-aided detection capabilities fueled by unstructured data warehousing. This customized toolset accelerates operational velocity, accuracy, and efficiency.

Cyber analytics

To keep up with the ever-changing threat environment, our cyber analytics team focuses on using data to proactively filter and identify notable events. This behavioral analysis enables the CSOC to improve response time, determine the course of action, and spend more time on high severity investigations.

Cyber forensics

During critical investigations when deeper analysis is required, a cyber forensic investigation is conducted. This investigation includes a deep-dive analysis of system artifacts in order to identify compromise, root cause, and impact. This investigation also generates threat intelligence and provides remediation recommendations.
