London, UK - 20th June 2022: Telesoft Technologies, a leader in cyber solutions, has announced its latest state-of-the-art security offering - a 2

4/7, UK based Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service

Manned by a team of highly skilled cyber analysts - based in a UK Security Operations Centre (SOC) - this invaluable service continuously monitors an organisation’s network traffic, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

Telesoft’s MDR safeguards enterprise networks and adds an extra layer of security protection to an organisation of any size, across all sectors. By proactively searching through an organisation’s network using the latest in machine learning and comprehensive threat intelligence technology, the Telesoft SOC team can identify and analyse any malicious threats or abnormal activity. 

It doesn’t end there. If anything suspicious is spotted, it will be tracked and investigated to determine if there is a threat. Any identified incident will be contained by Telesoft’s team or escalated to the business’ internal team within a pre-defined service level agreement (SLA). This could be as little as 15 minutes depending on the severity and ensures any potential threats are dealt with promptly, keeping the businesses’ data safe and secure. 

Andrew Marsh, Head of IT & Security Services at Telesoft Technologies explained:

“Any business, of any size, within any industry that is connected to the internet is at an increased risk of a cyberattack. However, a high number of organisations still rely on endpoint and gateway solutions, that are not adaptable enough to avoid sophisticated threats. What’s needed is a greater visibility at every layer of the network and a security solution that combines human and technological intelligence, with proactive and continual monitoring.’

“Our MDR Solution addresses this need.  It has been designed to ensure an enterprise network is fully safeguarded. Not only does it benchmark what is ‘normal activity’, it is also continuously watching and analysing anything that is potentially abnormal - 24/7 by a trained security team based in our UK SOC. This may be something legitimate like a user operating outside of their normal hours, or something more malicious, such as a small yet continuous beacon from a compromised device to a command-and-control server. Often one of the biggest mistakes a business can make regarding cybersecurity is thinking that they won’t become a victim. This simply isn’t good enough in this digital age.”

In an ever-changing and uncertain digital landscape identifying threats is becoming increasingly difficult for many organisations to manage. A recent study from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) revealed that 39% of UK businesses have identified a cyber-attack in the last 12 months. With costs often exceeding £3 million it is essential that organisations have a solid strategy in place to protect their network. However, a wider network protection strategy requires expenditure, and the case for incorporating a cyber solution, must be measured against the potential cyber-threat costs an organisation can expect to encounter. 

Setting up an in-house system requires capital and operational investment, with the price tag including recruitment as well as the cost to establish a precise and reliable system. With Telesoft’s MDR Solution, organisations can enhance their security position at a fraction of this cost, while significantly reducing the deployment time.

UK homegrown solutions are vital for securing critical national infrastructure.

IT Pro Portal: The future of Telecom Security

Telecoms.com periodically invites expert third parties to share their views on the industry’s most pressing issues. In this piece Martin Rudd, CTO of Telesoft Technologies analyses the opportunities presented by OpenRAN technology.

Telecoms: The role of OpenRAN in securing 5G networks and the IoT

Today The Times newspaper has featured a 20-page report on the ‘Future of 5G’ bringing together leading experts from across industry to talk about the rollout of 5G technology.  Our
CTO, Martin Rudd shared his views on how prepared the cybersecurity industry is to deliver on 5G.

‘The readiness and reliability of cybersecurity to deliver on 5G’s promises is being driven by the rapidly increasing billions of interconnected devices, remote workers and the growth of cloud infrastructure. Add to this the increasingly heavy compute and network infrastructure that is needed to support 5G applications, devices, data and services.

Put simply, it’s not actually about 5G itself, but the pressure which 5G is putting on the wider tech and cyber infrastructure. It is all about the scale. Likewise the network will become more complex within 5G in order to prioritise and provide demanding user experience and applications and cyber needs to adapt to encompass demands of scale, data and volume of threats.

What we saw when the majority of workforces transitioned to home working was that there was an upper limit to global connectivity, compute power and cloud availability. There are lessons learned from this that we need to consider as we experience ‘blooms’ in technology over the coming years – when, for example, smart cities and Industry 4.0 start coming online apace. There will be a distinct need for the technical and security infrastructure to support these leaps in the number of devices whilst still keeping each one secure and operational.

Take, for example, edge computing (where computation and data storage is brought closer to the location it is needed) and autonomous vehicles to ensure ultra-low latency when it comes to machine decision making. Autonomous vehicles require low latency combined with compute and data hungry applications placed at the edge – a ½ a second delay here could mean an untold/unwanted incident. In order to have this working effectively you need to have intelligent networks to prioritise this network traffic and able to work around congestion whilst ensuring the integrity and security of the data.

What we’re seeing is that security tools need to be central to 5G rollout due to the demands of scale, latency and compute and that legislation needs to be a vehicle for improving security and integrity of data as well as enable the innovation and economic growth that 5G will bring.’

It is clear that there is a long way to go before the UK is ready to rollout 5G technology, but with these security challenges comes a wealth of opportunity for the UK to advance technology and optimise infrastructures to cope with the demands that 5G will place on them.

For twelve years, the standard internet encryption has been Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2. Following its roots takes you back to the first version of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which was developed in 1995 by Netscape but never released due to it being riddled with security vulnerabilities

Help Net Security: TLS 1.3: slow adoption of stronger web encryption is empowering the bad guys

Recent years have seen an increase in the size and scale of deals happening in cyber security. In 2019, TD Ameritrade's annual survey of registered investment advisors (RIAs) showed nearly a six-fold increase in cyber security investments compared to the year before.1 In particular, one growing trend is large tech companies acquiring cyber security start-ups.
