IT security has rapidly become a critical aspect of running a business. We are seeing that upper management and boards of directors are taking ownership like never before. This shift is resulting in strict requirements for the security solutions offered. We have chosen a Security Operations solution which encompasses the entire infrastructure and offers first-class support, namely Arctic Wolf.
“We include security in everything we do.” For many years, this has been our mantra and today, our position is strong and comes with the powerful security service solutions and products that we offer. At Danoffice IT, we have chosen Arctic Wolf to be one of our primary Security Operations partners. The reason for this choice is simple: Arctic Wolf does as we do; they encompass the entire infrastructure and they are not proprietary. All systems and platforms are covered.
Security Operations Service Unmatched by None
In 2024, several companies in Denmark will need to take measures regarding NIS2 which has become a legal requirement. This will become a noticeable change. Cyber-attacks are time-consuming, draining, and come at a high cost both for the people involved and the companies. Therefore, everyone agrees that it is critical to have a comprehensive monitoring setup and a very strong preparedness including backup and restore that we can trust. The new reality of NIS2 will undoubtedly complicate things further, but in what way?
Well, you see, if you do not have your logs, it is virtually impossible for your company to create the overview you need for an NIS2 audit. That critical issue can be resolved with a powerful Security Operations Center such as Arctic Wolf and they are excelling by leaps and bounds in their field because they can create the specific reports required by the authorities.
Better to Prevent than to Ask for Help
Jesper Skov Johnsen, Head of Sales for Corporate West at Danoffice IT says the following about the decision to work with Arctic Wolf: “In a lot of ways, they remind us of ourselves. They stand out because the human aspect is always factored in. Their results do not just come from an algorithm,” he says and adds: “Arctic Wolf has European monitoring based in Frankfurt and the combination of those two facts is powerful. They are close to our headquarters in Denmark and the German precision cannot be denied. Furthermore, it is of significant value to our customers that all data is within the EU.”
It is always important to respond quickly and professionally to an attack, but a successful response is only successful if you are prepared. “There are several products that can help when you are under attack,” Jesper says. “Arctic Wolf is unique in that it is practices proactive prevention. They have a security team which forms a partnership with the customer in which personal guidance is at the center.
On top of that, they make a reactive task force available to help you in the event of an actual attack. Both elements are essential because nothing is 100% when we are dealing with IT security. In other words, this is a full-service managed Security Operations service supported by the close dialogue with the customer regarding everything being delivered, operated as a service 24/7,” he says.
Security is All Inclusive
Today, there is a sea of security services and products available. Many of them are highly specialized and deliver beautifully in their respective parameters. However, oversight is the alfa and the omega when it comes to security and this is where Arctic Wolf’s Security Operations solution comes in and provides the full scope of what the company needs. That offers a solid foundation to provide advice, management, and formation of the proper strategy.
“The monitoring in Arctic Wolf is outstanding and in many cases, our experience is that it renders other security products superfluous. An example of this is monitoring of networks,” Jesper says, and adds: “If an IP camera is not secure and worst-case scenario is attacked, Arctic Wolf will register this immediately. If a PC is attacked, the Arctic Wolf infrastructure will containerize it immediately to ensure that the attack cannot spread.”
In other words, this is the total package. It is an all-inclusive security solution. Proactive guidance from Arctic Wolf is included in the price and their team is ready 24/7 to provide recommendations and plans of action in the event of an attack. Then, at Danoffice IT, we are ready to take the ball and run with it. We have powerful specialist skills on our consultant team who can conduct the restore as recommended by Arctic Wolf’s team.
