TCS’ Managed Detection and Response services 

Overview

Managed security service providers (MSSP) frequently use manual monitoring and legacy investigation techniques, resulting in alert fatigue and inadequate remedies.

However, legacy monitoring and response solutions are no match for sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats. And enterprises today are more vulnerable to attacks, as they embrace cloud transformations and remote workforce models. To improve cyber resilience and protect their business, they must guard themselves against the following:

• Ransomware attacks, where cyber criminals encrypt a company’s critical data and demand a ransom in exchange for not making it public. This is a common tactic attackers use to target companies.  

• Inadequate IoT security, such as poorly configured network security controls and running IoT devices in legacy environments, can slow down entire businesses in seconds, making it easy for hackers to launch attacks.

• Cloud workloads that are misconfigured and poorly implemented can become easy targets. 

• Attacks on the blockchain employ well-known techniques like phishing, social engineering, attacking data in transit, and focusing on coding errors.

• Remote and hybrid working environments are exposed to new threats due to employee fatigue or lack of security awareness. 

Solution

Strengthen managed detection and response (MDR) to monitor and respond to cybersecurity threats.

TCS' end-to-end MDR services use integrated platforms and add-on services to provide security threat monitoring, incident response, recovery, remediation, and threat hunting. 

Our services: 

• Extended detection and response (XDR): Leverage a modern approach to managing threat detection, investigation, and rapid response compared with traditional methods.  

• Integrated SecOps: Combine security operations center (SOC) and administrative tasks to provide a unified, SaaS-based XDR, along with artificial intelligence (AI), modernized security information and event management (SIEM) analytics, and machine learning (ML) capabilities. It streamlines data ingestion security processes and automatically correlates data across multiple security stacks. 

• Endpoint detection and response (EDR): Enhance incident investigation and response, end-to-end coverage to strengthen endpoint security and protect against sophisticated attackers and adversaries. 

• Hypothesis-driven threat hunting: Empower SOC hunters to proactively look for unknown threats using an exclusive query library.  

• Industry-specific policies and remediation procedures: Improve cyber resilience with customized and accurate threat resolutions. 

Additional services include:  

• Deception as a Service: Distract cyber criminals and secure critical enterprise assets by diverting them with tailor-made breadcrumbs, baits, and lures using the TCS Deception platform.  

• Anti-phishing service: Get real-time phishing protection with TCS Anti-phishing platform, a one-stop solution for Office365, Google Workspace, and Lotus Notes. 

• Breach and attack simulation (BAS) service: Run simulations and tests to detect vulnerabilities. Elevate internal and external defenses with TCS’ BAS, a fully automated and customizable solution providing comprehensive visibility and reporting.  

• Cyber risk scorecard (CRS) service: Uncover risks from three dimensions—risk quantification, technical cyber rating, and compliance correlation. 

• Vulnerability management: Address security-related business challenges with TCS Enterprise Vulnerability Management Services' pre-built assessment frameworks and aligned services.  

• Cyber threat intelligence: Get early warnings and signals on cyber threats with our in-built threat intelligence framework, technical analysis tradecraft, geopolitical and cultural analysis.  

• Retainer service for rapid forensics: Identify, collect, analyze, and utilize digital evidence with TCS’ Digital Forensics CoE labs. Ascertain the root cause of security breaches and get predictive recommendations to mitigate threats. 

• Ransomware readiness assessment: Leverage our consulting services to check your organization’s readiness to detect, protect, respond, and recover from ransomware incidents.
