Visualise and mitigate cyber risks

April 2024 Security Services & Risk Management

SecurityHQ announced its latest risk and incident management capabilities for the SHQ response platform. The SHQ Response Platform acts as the emergency room, and the risk centre provides the wellness hub for all cyber security monitoring and actions. This has included a complete rewrite of how risks are visualised and how customers work with their security team.

The Risk Centre is designed to prevent emergencies before they arise. To make this possible, SecurityHQ has combined its intellectual property and knowledge on risk mitigation and cybersecurity, and merged this with several recognised sources in the industry, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK), to provide actions on how to identify, map, and raise risks.

“SHQ Response Platform is unique in the industry as it follows a combination of different sources and is always viewed within the context of the customer. The Risk Centre itself is what makes this such a unique offering, as the user is now able to calculate the impact of security threats to the business, the likelihood of risks happening, identify all the different tactics and techniques, and highlight how best to mitigate these risks, all from a single location,” says Chris Cheyne, SOC Director & CTO, SecurityHQ.

SecurityHQ, NIST, MITRE, & NCSC intelligence combined

With the SHQ Response Platform, users are now able to:

• Map threats, assets and vulnerabilities to derive risks.

• Manage risks in accordance with NIST 800-30.

• Identify maturity and high impact mitigations, linked to NIST 800-53.

• Track mitigations, task assignments, and progress.

• Link compliance incidents to risk, to reduce repetitive incidents creating noise.

• Receive monthly tailored executive reports, delivered by data analytics team, to prioritise actions.

• View incident graphic card, which showcases real-time incident information, including time-line perspective tab, graphical representation tab, and MITRE tactics tab.

• Investigate and prioritise incidents. Categorise incidents against MITRE ATT&CK, and assign risk level, based on CIA attributes, asset criticality, and possible impact.

"We have not seen any platforms out there that are doing this. We see a lot of risk management platforms, but they do not deal with the detail of cyber security risks in a very good way. The SHQ Response Platform has simplified cybersecurity, by enabling customers to be part of their security journey. It was built so that businesses could learn more about potential threats, and solve cyber-related issues, together with their designated security experts," says Feras Tappuni, CEO, SecurityHQ.
