Question onePrevent
What is permitted to run at all?
Default-deny allowlisting decides which executables, libraries, and scripts may start on a
machine, and ringfencing decides what those approved programs are then allowed to touch.
Malware that nobody has a signature for still has to be permitted to launch, and it is
not.
Question twoDetect
Who is watching the thing that got in anyway?
Behavioral detection on the endpoint, correlated against mail, identity, cloud workloads,
and network traffic in a single analytics layer. The measure of it is not how many alerts it
raises. The measure is how quickly a human being reaches a decision about one of them.
Question threeContain
How quickly does the room get sealed?
An implicated host is cut off from the network while the investigation runs, hostile
processes are killed, and changes made on the machine are rolled back. The minutes spent here
are the whole difference between one ruined laptop and the entire accounting share.
Question fourRecover
What is left standing when the rest failed?
Encrypted copies of the workstations, servers, virtual estate, and SaaS tenants, held
outside the credentials that guard them and proved by scheduled restore tests rather than by
optimism. It is the only layer built on the assumption that you have already lost.
