CypSec today announced Managed Active Defense, a comprehensive service delivering real-time threat detection and automated response without requiring customer security operations capabilities. The offering transforms CypSec's proven Active Defense platform into a fully managed capability where CypSec analysts monitor, analyze, and execute defensive actions on behalf of client organizations.
Active Defense moves beyond passive monitoring to active threat engagement: detecting anomalous behaviors indicative of sophisticated adversary presence, automatically executing containment procedures to neutralize threats, and preserving evidence for forensic analysis. As a managed service, organizations gain these capabilities without building internal detection engineering, threat hunting, or incident response teams.
The technical platform integrates behavioral analytics, machine learning, and automated response orchestration. Multi-vector monitoring combines network traffic analysis, system behavior assessment, and user activity correlation to identify sophisticated threats evading signature-based controls. Upon detection, automated workflows execute containment, especially network isolation, process termination and credential revocation, while preserving forensic integrity. Human analysts validate machine-generated alerts, investigate complex scenarios, and execute strategic response decisions requiring executive authorization.
CypSec's managed delivery encompasses 24/7 monitoring by specialized analysts, continuous threat intelligence integration, response playbook refinement, and quarterly effectiveness reviews. Customers retain strategic control through defined authorization boundaries and comprehensive visibility into all defensive actions via the Active Defense dashboard.
The service addresses organizations lacking resources for internal SOC operations, such as mid-market enterprises, specialized divisions of larger corporations, and entities in regions with limited security talent availability. Deployment follows CypSec's proven integration methodology: pilot phases validate operational fit, staging environments tune detection parameters, and production rollout expands coverage according to risk priorities.
The technical differentiation lies in CypSec's adversary-informed detection philosophy. Rather than generic anomaly detection, the platform incorporates behavioral indicators derived from real-world intrusion analysis and threat intelligence. Detection rules model specific adversary tactics, particularly lateral movement techniques, persistence mechanisms and credential harvesting behaviors, enabling recognition of sophisticated campaigns that evade conventional signature-based tools. This threat-informed approach reduces false positives while surfacing advanced persistent threats that generic behavioral analytics miss.
For international customers, the service delivers measurable security outcomes without operational complexity. Mean time to detection and response compresses from industry-average weeks to hours. Security posture visibility transforms from periodic assessment snapshots to continuous, real-time intelligence. Compliance reporting for frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and regional regulations automates through integrated audit trails and evidence preservation. Most significantly, organizations gain adversary-resistant defensive capabilities previously accessible only to enterprises maintaining substantial internal security operations investments.
