Identify

  • Know all software and hardware in your network
  • Identify all unpatched vulnerabilities
  • Identify risky users and accounts
  • Spot systems with old signatures and no whitelisting/allowlisting
  • See misconfigured endpoints

Protect

  • Patch vulnerable systems
  • Harden insecure configurations (including user policy)
  • Remove risky/unnecessary software
  • Close unnecessary/risky ports and services
  • Isolate network segments and tighten firewall rules
  • Remove/rename user accounts

Detect

  • Detect known indicators of malware
  • Identify remote access software and services
  • Integrate AV/Whitelisting alerts
  • Spot changes to configurations, accounts, etc.
  • Managed detection & response

Respond

  • Integrate alerts and endpoint status to design response
  • Take actions to reduce threat (eg patch, close ports, etc.)
  • Identify new network connections between shots or outbound
  • Report

Recover

  • Confirm backup status and availability
  • Restore ICS systems to operational
  • Root cause identification and risk elimination

An integrated approach (sometimes referred to as “defense-in-depth”) is necessary to help prevent the introduction and spread of malware and ransomware. A robust asset inventory is a prerequisite for understanding your vulnerabilities and risks in-depth, but protection also requires enabling patching, configuration hardening, software, user management, etc., on the endpoints themselves.

Verve is a comprehensive industrial cyber security platform designed to address defense-in-depth requirements, helping prevent malware and ransomware and reducing time to recovery should an incident occur. It was built from the ground up as an ICS/OT security platform to bring together various elements of security, simplifying the complexity that often comes from multiple siloed tools.

Verve integrates inventory and vulnerability assessment with protection elements such as patching, application whitelisting, frequent backups and restoration, and configuration hardening. It also has a robust OT/ICS SIEM to detect and respond to potential anomalous events or patterns.
