Case Study: Law Firm Using SOC as a Service
Prior to engaging with Hedgehog Security's SOC service, H&H faced significant gaps in their cybersecurity defenses. We fixed that with SOC365.
Client Overview: H&H is a renowned litigation law firm based in London, established in 1820. With a team of 20 partners and over 100 staff, the firm has a rich history of providing legal services. Focused on litigation, the firm handles a diverse range of cases, requiring a strong emphasis on safeguarding sensitive client information.
Challenge: Limited Cybersecurity Measures Prior to engaging with Hedgehog Security's SOC service, H&H faced significant gaps in their cybersecurity defenses. The firm relied on traditional firewall and endpoint protection, leaving their network vulnerable to emerging cyber threats. Given the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, the firm recognized the need to bolster its cybersecurity posture and proactively defend against potential breaches.
Solution: Comprehensive SOC Service Hedgehog Security provided H&H with a robust Security Operations Center (SOC) service tailored to their specific needs. The SOC service offered 24x7 monitoring and defense against cyber attacks, ensuring the firm's network remained secure around the clock. The solution included the deployment of eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) agents on endpoints and servers, as well as the implementation of Anti-Malware, Anti-Virus, and Security Web Gateway applications.
Implementation Process: Streamlined Deployment The implementation process was a collaborative effort between Hedgehog Security and the firm's outsourced IT provider. XDR agents were deployed on endpoints and servers to provide end-to-end protection, even for remote work scenarios. Network devices were configured to log data securely in the cloud. A two-week monitoring and tuning phase ensured that the environment was optimized for detection and response.
Results: Strengthened Cybersecurity Posture Since implementing Hedgehog Security's SOC service, H&H's cybersecurity posture has significantly improved. The firm now benefits from 24x7 monitoring, timely threat detection, and effective incident response. Monthly Cyber Risk Reports and KPI reports provided by Hedgehog Security offer the firm's partners insights into the evolving threat landscape and the firm's security performance.
Incident Detection and Mitigation: Rapid Response The SOC service proved its effectiveness when it swiftly detected and blocked a simulated penetration test initiated by the firm's partners themselves. Within four minutes, the SOC identified the unauthorized activity and prevented further access attempts. This incident underscored the SOC's capability to respond to emerging threats promptly.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: AI-Driven Insights Hedgehog Security's internal AI system, Hedgey, correlates thousands of events per second to identify likely correlations. This advanced AI-driven approach allows the SOC team to proactively address potential threats. The firm benefits from continuous monitoring, ensuring that any emerging risks are promptly addressed.
