As businesses navigate the complexities of today's interconnected world, ensuring the safety of sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of operations is a top priority. In this blog, we'll outline the key features and benefits delivered by Airtel Managed Security Services with Elastic Security.

Leveraging its technological capabilities and decades of experience, Airtel operates a security operations centre (SOC) dedicated to enterprise cybersecurity. It is a combination of future-oriented cybersecurity innovations and skilled professionals committed to providing fool-proof protection to your business round-the-clock, around the globe.

Airtel Secure offers a variety of cybersecurity services, including managed security services (WAF-as-service), VA/PT, MDR, DDOS-as-a-Service, and other cyber transition and transformation services. This suite is designed to shield organizations from evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive approach to security management. At its core lies the Elastic Security solution, a powerful and adaptive foundation that ensures businesses stay ahead in cybersecurity.

Airtel's choice of Elastic Security signifies a commitment to cutting-edge technology and a proactive security stance. Elastic Security provides comprehensive visibility, proactive threat detection, containment, and elimination of cyber threats, including host-based attacks (e.g., malware, ransomware, spyware, APTs), insider threats (e.g., compromised credentials), and more. Let’s delve into the key components that make this security solution a formidable ally in the battle against cyber threats.

• Security information and event management (SIEM): Elastic Security is first and foremost a SIEM solution. It aggregates logs and data from various sources, allowing for real-time analysis of security alerts. Airtel MDR services uses this to deliver security monitoring, event management, and incident response services.
• Elastic Security for endpoint: Elastic Security for endpoint stops ransomware and malware, spots advanced threats at the host, and equips responders with vital investigative context.

• Threat hunting and intelligence: By applying prebuilt detection rules and machine learning jobs with Elastic Security — which are aligned with MITRE ATT&CK® adversary tactics and techniques — analysts can quickly spot potential threats and anomalies.

• Elastic Security for Cloud: Safeguard your cloud deployments by obtaining deep visibility into your cloud posture. Implement runtime protection for cloud-based and containerized workloads. Elastic Security for Cloud unifies management of multi-cloud and hybrid systems in one interface, simplifying administration and the monitoring of potential security threats.
• Data visualization and reporting: Clients often need visual representations of their security posture. Kibana® provides the ability for Airtel MDR services to create custom dashboards that highlight critical security metrics, making it easier to communicate the state of a network's security to clients.

• Log management and analysis: Airtel MDR services utilize the Elasticsearch Platform for centralized log management, making it easier to collect, process, analyze, and visualize log data from various clients' infrastructures.

• Compliance and audit reporting: With the data aggregated in Elasticsearch®, Airtel MDR services can create reports that help clients meet various compliance requirements by demonstrating that they are monitoring their systems and have the necessary processes in place to detect and respond to threats.

• Forensic analysis: In-depth analysis of security incidents can help determine the root cause and extent of damage and provide required evidence.

• User behavior monitoring: Machine learning can be used to analyze multiple aspects of user behavior from the log data and build a multi-dimensional baseline behavior for each user.

• Incident response: Rapid incident response and investigation by skilled cybersecurity professionals helps identify and contain the source and impact of an attack, contain the threat, and mitigate the damage.
