Cyber security
We recognise that protection from Cyber threats is about good information assurance controls, and carefully selected advanced controls targeted at the most important assets or critical vulnerabilities.
Government departments face the twin challenges of the heightened threat with reduced budgets. Combine this with a drive to push services online and you have the potential for a perfect storm.
We have developed a number of our own methods and fixed priced products to enable our customers to address their security risks. By combining our risk assessment approaches with value for money analysis we can help our customers achieve greater efficiency as well as security.
Our ‘Security on Demand’ service uses a ‘lean IA’ approach to enable you to achieve a broad but risk-focused view across your entire IT estate. It is available as a managed service that includes a core service and a menu of additional fixed price IA services. These give you access to specialist skills and will allow you to cost-effectively balance risk against cost to suit your changing requirements over time.
We have developed enterprise security assessment methods to help our clients assess how to most effectively spend their budget and where they can save money. By taking a risk led approach we are able to pin point waste and where additional effort is required.
Secure operations
Protective monitoring solutions for government need to match the full extent and severity of the threat in the context of the operational environment in which protected systems sit. They need to be capable of dealing with large volumes of non-specific, untargeted malware and accidental policy violations as well as high-impact ‘advanced persistent threats’ and malicious ‘insider’ activity.
Detica’s state of the art security operations centre services can provide global ‘24 by 7’ monitoring and protection to our clients. Using the latest tools and combined with our specialised knowledge of the threats we are able to provide a service for those who require the best security monitoring.
Our ‘Advanced Protective Monitoring’ service enables you to detect and respond to threats and incidents quickly and effectively. Building higher barriers to your networks and data are no longer effective.
Our integrated service, compliant with GPG 13, provides an organisation-wide solution that gives you effective assessment, early warning, monitoring, detection, response and reporting of the risks you face including Advanced Persistent Threats.
Protection from targeted attacks
Cyber criminals understand that data is immensely valuable. And the more critical, sensitive or secret it is, the more time and more sophisticated the techniques they will deploy to obtain it. Not only does everyday data have real monetary value in the black economy but more sensitive data can also be used by organised groups, to gain much wider economic, commercial or political benefit.
Detica Treidan(R) is not an endpoint security solution. It doesn’t rely on rules or known malware signatures. Our approach is different: we monitor vast quantities of data from various sources around an organisation and employ cloud-based behavioural analytics to detect the underlying activities associated with sophisticated attacks, ensuring that data is secure and risk is managed.
Detica Treidan(R) gives organisations the capability they need to detect, understand, investigate and respond to targeted attacks, helping to prevent attackers from achieving their objectives.

Combatting cyber crime
Cyber crime is big business and government departments are subject to regular attacks - more often than many people realise. Luckily, solutions have caught up with the criminals and there is the opportunity to help prevent damage occurring.
Detica’s real time and analytical solutions help our customers prevent millions of pounds of criminal activity.
New research: Perceptions that the focus of organised crime activity has turned, increasingly, to the internet and other information communication technologies (ICTs) are now widespread. But the methods and motives behind any such move remain unclear because of the lack of credible research in this area. As part of its Security Horizons programme, Detica, in conjunction with the John Grieve Centre for Policing at London Metropolitan University, has launched one of the first detailed studies of the uses of ICTs by organised criminals.
This major new research project will develop a comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge of criminal activity in this area, and complement this with new data gathered from financial, data security, policing and governmental sectors. Using a variety of innovative analytic techniques together with up to date cases studies, an authoritative overview of the current volume and varieties of organised criminal activity online will be produced. The resulting findings will serve as a valuable tool in assisting policy makers and policing agencies to frame appropriate responses to this new threat.
