Gone are the days when hackers
just used to attack a network of a business or company just for the financial
reasons. Now their intentions are much more dangerous and operate with more
treacherous tools and have become so skill full that sometimes they are the
ones who dictate terms.
They practice their authority on
network and do whatever they want like
manipulation of data, sweeping of data, gaining of the client records, make the
system unable to boot (primary example of it is Shamoon in the Middle East),
etc. So how to get ahead of these gangsters of cyber world?
The only visible solution to the
problem seems to be outsourcing the security needs as the in-house may be
inefficient by working in the same environment for quite a long time that they
may have become uninformed about the advanced attacks and how to tackle them.
Managed security services Qatar based firms seem to be extremely handy and as they
are more aware of all the advanced threats and how they operate to destabilize
the networks as they work with different clients and get to tackle different
situations every now and then.
Other
benefits that they provide firms that they never occupy any space in the office
as they mostly perform their operations from a remote site hence don’t become
burden on the office.
They
are well trained due to the fact that they work with different clients and face
attacks of different frequency and magnitude every time, this makes them
anti-theft all-rounders.
These
outsourcers don’t need to be trained like the in-house staff as they are
already experienced professionals equipped with all the necessary tools to
sweep any attack.
They
are well versed with the next generation firewall management and use them to see the clear picture of the threat scene and
then design their defense mechanism through it.
Managed security service providers (MSSPs) examine the performance of the current packet
filters and hoe they are being used and if necessary change to the next
generation filters. The reason behind it is that misused packet filters can
cause migration issues.
They
examine the data log through the packet filter completely to analyze and detect
the threats and attacks if any. Also, if there is already an attack to the
network they mitigate it by examining all the inbound and outbound traffic.
They
also go through all the data logs whether inbound or outbound to see whether
the threat was posed from outside or the loss was caused by the negligence of
any insider.
