3. What common problems does UltraViolet Cyber solve?

UltraViolet Cyber is on a mission to deliver unified solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. Frequent pain points that we address include: 

  • Data is everywhere: UltraViolet Cyber provides a unified approach to securing and managing disparate data sources, alerting and tool sprawl, and platform management. Without a unified approach, ensuring speed, accuracy, and consistency of the customer’s first line of defense is a persistent challenge.
  • Resourcing is hard: UltraViolet Cyber offers a range of SOC experts to support the customer. A minimum of six team members monitor the customer’s account 24x7. Given the average retention of SOC analysts is less than two years, having a dedicated and consistent support system is critical.
  • Focus elsewhere: UltraViolet Cyber team members are SOC experts and do the heavy lifting, which gives customers time to focus on business objectives.

5. What is offensive security?

Offensive security takes a proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities through end-to-end security. This includes:

Pentesting:

Penetration testing is an attack against a system, network or application designed to identify and measure risk associated with the exploitation of a target’s attack surface. ​

Our services will identify security vulnerabilities which could be exploited by real world threat actors. We offer the following types of penetration testing services:​

  • Internal & External Infrastructure Assessments​
  • Cloud Security Assessment​
  • Web Application Penetration Testing​
  • Mobile Application & Device Testing​
  • Network Device & Build Reviews​
  • Wireless Testing ​
  • Code Reviews
Red Teaming:

Red teaming is active cooperation between both SOC and Penetration testing time. It is the process of using Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) to emulate a real-world threat with goals of training or measuring the effectiveness of the people, processes, and technology used to defend an environment​.

Our service encourages the use of the latest tactics used by real world threat actors to aid with the successful delivery of the following bespoke services:​

  • Physical Social Engineering​
  • Red Teaming​
  • Scenario-Based Testing​
  • Managed Phishing Services​
  • Purple Teaming (Red Teaming + ​Incident Response teams)​
