ACTIVITIES OF APLEIN INGENIEROS, S.A. SECURITY
OPERATIONS CENTER - 24 HOURS (SOC).
S21sec, a company that specializes in data security and a leader in
the sector, designs and installs risk prevention and management services
and facilities for organizations and staff operating in a digital environment.
Worthy of note among the recent company initiatives has been the setting
up of the first 24-hour Security Operations Center in Spain designed
to furnish total security management.
APLEIN INGENIEROS, S.A. participated in the
design of this new center for the management and control of threats
on Internet coming from any part of the world, research and development
into more efficient solutions in combating on-line fraud, and 24-hours
a day actuation against attacks on the computing facilities of banking
institutions, organizations and business concerns of Europe and Latin
America.
We interviewed Mariano Largo del Amo (Strategic Projects Director of
S21sec).
What is the purpose of the Security Operations
Center?
This 24-hour Security Operations Center (SOC)
serves the basic objective of managing and controlling threats on Internet,
combating on-line fraud and monitoring potential attacks twenty-four
hours a day.
Through this center, it is possible to draw up an analysis of the net
status and of any incidents that occur second by second. From it we
offer services of prevention and detection of on-line fraud and the
most common phishing attacks, as well as services of data surveillance
and management and monitoring all types of safety device.
What made you opt for the solution presented
by APLEIN INGENIEROS, S.A.?
APLEIN Ingenieros submitted the best proposal,
using a design adapted to our needs and the type of services we offer
from the SOC. In addition, they offered us the possibility of working
jointly, as partners and not as a mere supplier.
What is the immediate benefit for the Center?
he management and monitoring of our clients'
Information Systems imply controlling and overseeing millions of events
and logs daily, for which reason we require a broad display space visible
from all points in the room housing the center.
Moreover, to be alert and have greater control of the security incidents
on a world level, it is necessary to have several sources of information
and have them visible at the same time.
From the operation and control point
of view, what parameters can you control? Have the operation and supervision
applications been integrated?
Thanks to the display on several security consoles
at the same time, we can control the security status of our clients’
infrastructures 24 hours a day.
Do you think the installation of these
systems with the same technology is of use in other Control Rooms, where
activities need coverage of the 24 hours a day, 365 days a year type?
My opinion is yes, especially for those centers
where there is a need to track a great many events occurring in a very
short space of time.
