Threat Detection & Response
Access Point Consulting’s Threat Detection and Response service reduces risk by detecting and identifying threats, then deploying a response that mitigates them. We go beyond stopping hackers—we proactively hunt for threats across your entire environment, connecting signals from multiple systems, and acting fast to neutralize risks before they can become a breach.
Rapidly multiplying threats
Cloud adoption, hybrid work, and distributed networks have multiplied entry points for attackers. A single misconfiguration or overlooked endpoint can trigger breaches, downtime, and reputational damage—forcing today’s enterprises to protect far more ground with the same or fewer resources.
Excessive threat dwell time
When a threat actor breaches your perimeter they should be detected, constrained, and evicted as quickly as possible. In too many cases, though, threat actors have undetected, free access to critical systems and data for weeks or months before they are discovered. With enough time, criminals can exfiltrate critical intellectual property and personally identifiable information with devastating consequences.
Rapidly evolving threats
Threat actors are using the latest software development techniques to build and adapt malicious packages. They are cooperating on software development and taking advantage of “malware as a service” offerings to quickly adapt attacks in response to new defenses.
Too much threat information
There is so much data coming in from sensors, firewalls, malware detection systems, and other pieces of the cybersecurity infrastructure that the greatest danger may be critical information becoming lost in the flood of data. How can analysts consistently find the critical pieces of data among the millions that flow into most organizations every day?
Insider threats
Cyber defenses tend to be biased to look outward for threats but the most dangerous attacks can come from within the corporate perimeter. When threats exist in unexpected places and make use of insider information, it can be difficult to discern malicious behavior from legitimate business activity — and to prevent malicious insider actions without taking a hammer to business productivity.
SASE‑powered, Zero‑Trust infrastructure security
Access Point Consulting combines Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture, Zero‑Trust principles, and continuous monitoring to deliver an adaptive defense‑in‑depth model that secures every user, device, and workload—wherever they operate.
Behavioral analytics
Rapidly changing malware and attack signatures makes understanding and responding to malicious behavior necessary for rapid threat detection. Access Point Consulting will deploy and configure behavioral analytics systems to monitor and correlate user and system behavior across your application infrastructure to quickly identify anomalous behavior and coordinate a rapid defensive response to the threat.
Continuous monitoring with real-time threat analysis
Our consultants will architect and deploy systems to continuously monitor activity and data flow across all network segments. Continuous monitoring, coupled with continuous, real-time threat analysis, reduces the time between intrusion and detection to the minimum and enables rapid response and remediation to the detected threats.
Deploy Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools
When it comes to defending your business, human analysts aren’t fast enough to do it on their own. SOAR tools can bridge the performance gap between analyst and attack by responding at machine speed to detected threats. Access Point Consulting professionals will design, configure, and deploy SOAR tools to meet the specific needs of your company. The resulting system will automatically deal with rapid-strike threats while alerting human analysts who can work in concert with the technology to understand the threat and build enhanced defenses for the future.
Enhanced use of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems
SIEM tools help human analysts better identify, analyze, and understand threats and provide data to other security infrastructure components in forms that allow those components to act against threats. Access Point consultants will design and deploy SIEM systems to feed useful information to both human analysts and other security components to consistently build and improve the security capabilities of your company.
Enhanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities
We deploy EDR and XDR solutions that combine multiple capabilities to provide rapid and comprehensive incident response to end points and complex application delivery systems. Access Point Consulting experts will carefully evaluate your application architecture to determine whether XDR is the best solution for securing cloud-based or hybrid environments.
