AEGIS IT Security & Compliance

Cyber security – The media is fraught with stories of credit card breaches, ransomware takeovers of corporate, educational, and government websites, and theft of personally identifiable information. We hear news of businesses paying millions of dollars in ransoms to buy back control of their critical business data. Business owners are overwhelmed by the fearmongering and seeming insurmountable complexity of cyber security. Although the threat is real and growing, help is on the way and protecting your business’ data is not as cumbersome as you may imagine.

Why LEFCON?

LEFCON is excited to offer AEGIS, a comprehensive yet nimble cyber compliance package that will be customized to your unique operation. AEGIS is not just another security platform; it’s your ultimate defense against modern cyber threats. We’ve meticulously curated top-of-the-line security products and paired them with the unmatched expertise of LEFCON’s 24/7/365 Network and Security Operation Center. The result? Unparalleled protection that empowers you to navigate the digital realm with confidence. Named after the Greek god of protection, Aegis is a complete solution that considers all aspects of cyber security.

LEFCON has always taken our clients’ security to heart. We’ve watched businesses succeed at securing themselves, then thwart the efforts of threat actors to usurp control of their client and business data. We’ve also watched as businesses disregard the critical need for comprehensive security measures and suffer the consequences. Just like many of our clients, LEFCON has battled with threat actors intent on compromising our own systems. We asked ourselves “How can we learn from our observations and experiences and improve the security posture of our own systems and those of our valued clients? What can we do to build genuine trust, comfort, and assurance on the side of the businesses that we support so that operators feel a deep and intrinsic sense of security in the crucial systems that keep their businesses viable and running?”

LEFCON responded by seeking the deepest and most comprehensive security accreditation available: SOC1 & SOC2 compliance. What is SOC compliance?

SOC refers to Service Organization Controls. According to the American Institute of CPAs, we can define SOC reports as a document that helps service organizations “that operate information systems and provide information system services to other entities, build trust and confidence in their service delivery processes and controls through a report by an independent Certified Public Accountant,”
SOC 1 can best be understood as an audit of snapshot in time of a service organization’s security and financial controls, where SOC2 goes a step further by auditing a period of time, where focus lies on five criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
LEFCON has contracted with outside auditors to examine every component of our business: network security, communication protocols, training, data storage, systems access, and continuing education. We are doing this not because it generates revenue. We’re doing it to generate genuine comfort and assurance amongst our community of clients that LEFCON has secured their data to highest level possible.

LEFCON has taken a wholistic and sophisticated approach to protecting the data of your business and your clients that allows you to continue operating. LEFCON takes on the responsibility and complexity of managing your business’s cyber security. You can rest comfortably KNOWING, not assuming, that your data is secure and well-protected.

TOP-TIER SECURITY SOLUTIONS

CDR - Cloud Detection & Response

LEFCON leverages state of the art technology to secure your assets. Our approach is multi-faceted. Key aspects of LEFCON’s CDR methodology follow.

Threat Detection: LEFCON monitors cloud environments to identify abnormal or malicious activities. This includes unauthorized access attempts, suspicious user behavior, and potential security breaches.
Incident Analysis: Once a potential threat is detected, LEFCON CDR platforms analyze the incident to understand its nature and severity. This involves examining patterns, correlating data, and assessing the overall risk to the organization’s cloud assets.
Real-time Monitoring: LEFCON CDR tools provide real-time monitoring capabilities, ensuring that security teams can respond promptly to emerging threats. This proactive approach helps mitigate potential damage before it escalates.
Automation and Orchestration: LEFCON CDR often leverages automation to streamline security response processes. Automated actions can include isolating compromised systems, blocking malicious activities, or initiating predefined incident response workflows.
Integration with Cloud Service Providers (CSPs): LEFCON CDR solutions integrate with leading cloud service providers (such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) to gain visibility into the cloud environment. This integration enables comprehensive monitoring and response capabilities across the entire cloud infrastructure.
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA): LEFCON CDR tools may employ UEBA to analyze the behavior of users and entities within the cloud environment. By establishing baseline behavior patterns, these tools can identify deviations that may indicate a security threat.
Compliance Management: LEFCON CDR helps organizations maintain compliance with industry regulations and standards by monitoring and responding to activities that could jeopardize data protection and privacy.
Reporting and Analysis: LEFCON CDR platforms generate detailed reports on security incidents, providing insights into the nature of threats, the effectiveness of security measures, and areas for improvement.
