挑战

Brier & Thorn first began searching for an all-in-one security solution in early 2013 when they were tasked with conducting an incident response investigation for one of their clients. Their client had clicked on a weaponized attachment that led to a Spear Phish attack. This required Brier & Thorn to identify what the hackers had access to in their client's network and if any data exfiltration was occurring. At the time, Brier & Thorn was lacking visibility into their client’s network, so they needed an incident response forensics tool that enabled them to see traffic going in and out of the network.

解决方案

In their search for the right solution, Brier & Thorn came across AlienVault’s Unified Security Management (USM) platform and its Open Threat Exchange (OTX). After a few conversations with AlienVault, Brier & Thorn determined that the functionality provided by USM delivered the ideal tool set for their incident response investigation. Once acquired, AlienVault USM enabled Brier & Thorn to determine the source of the Spear Phish attack, which country it was coming from, and which machines on their client’s network had been compromised. After the investigation, Brier & Thorn decided to take a hard look at the IT risk management consulting services they were providing. They realized that by building an Information Security Management System (ISMS), performing penetration testing, and incident response for clients, they were only addressing one small part of their client’s problems. This realization propelled Brier & Thorn to develop a service that would support their clients’ security needs post-implementation. They built their first Security Operations Center (SOC) and added a new managed security services practice to their service portfolio. Since USM proved to be a perfect fit for Brier & Thorn’s previous incident response investigation, it was the first solution they evaluated to power their new managed services program.
