End-to-end services for enterprise security operations
Security operations platform provider, ThreatQuotient has extended its professional services offering, adding assessment and consulting services.
First launched in 2017, ThreatQuotient’s global professional services team has evolved to meet and exceed the changing needs of organisations at all levels of security operations and threat intelligence maturity.
The provider includes core capabilities to “assess, design and build a threat-centric security operations function”. As well as allowing organisations to transition from traditional signature-based monitoring, detection, and response to an external, threat-focused program.
Jonathan Couch SVP Strategy at ThreatQuotient said building a security operations program is hard and building one that is threat-centric is even more difficult.
“In addition to the current services of implementation, training and development, ThreatQuotient now offers consulting services that range from an initial assessment of current threat intelligence capabilities to more in-depth and long-term process development,” he said. “The ultimate goal is to mature a program to the point that a team can confidently address specific use cases like spearphyshing, threat hunting and vulnerability management.”
ThreatQuotient’s professional services also offers development of a strategic plan, which embeds threat intelligence within all functions of security operations, by considering stakeholder analyses, risk identification and a one to three-year growth plan, said Couch.
In addition, ThreatQuotient enables security executives to leverage the application of global threat intelligence to communicate effectively with their business leadership.
According to Couch companies don’t have to be users of its platform to take advantage of ThreatQuotient’s services.
“ThreatQuotient’s experts can provide additional support to create automated workflows, develop and/or map attributes against data sets or feeds, auto-enrich indicator sets, or provide specific deployment actions against intelligence,” he said.
Anthony Stitt, APJC regional director at ThreatQuotient said the first thing customers think about when considering new technology is “how do I get this installed and working?’, which is closely followed by how will my staff be trained to use it?”.
“Threat Intelligence, and broader security operations activities, require integration between multiple tools and systems – so customers are looking for low-cost and simple integration,” he said.
ThreatQuotient has been operating in Australian and the APAC region since 2018. At the time, the US -founded company opened in the region to complement existing international representation in France and the UK.
In 2019 it signed agreements with Ectacom, Nihon Cornet and StarLink to expand ThreatQuotient’s reach in Asia-Pacific, Japan and China.
