Security Operations

Learn about the vocabulary used to describe today’s most common cyber threats, from malware and phishing to advanced persistent attacks and zero-day exploits.

OT security is the practice of protecting industrial control systems, operational technology, and critical infrastructure from cyber threats. It encompasses security strategies, Network Detection and Response (NDR), continuous monitoring, and forensic capabilities that help organizations detect attacks, strengthen cyber resilience, and maintain safe, reliable industrial operations.

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) identifies suspicious activity by analyzing behavioral patterns across users, devices, and applications. Combined with Network Detection and Response (NDR), it helps security teams correlate behavioral anomalies with network activity, improving threat detection, accelerating investigations, and enhancing visibility across the enterprise environment.

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) helps organizations detect, investigate, and respond to threats targeting endpoint devices through continuous monitoring and behavioral analysis. When integrated with NDR, EDR provides broader visibility into attacker activity, enabling security teams to identify threats faster, accelerate investigations, and strengthen modern cyber defense.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a cybersecurity technology that integrates and correlates security telemetry across endpoints, networks, cloud environments, identities, and Network Detection and Response (NDR) systems to detect, investigate, and respond to threats. By unifying visibility across the attack surface, XDR helps organizations improve threat detection, accelerate investigations, and strengthen security operations. 

Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) enables organizations to automate investigations, orchestrate security workflows, and coordinate incident response across multiple security technologies. Integrated with SIEM, XDR, and NDR solutions, SOAR helps security teams improve operational efficiency, accelerate response times, and strengthen overall security operations.

Full packet capture records and preserves complete network communications, providing packet-level visibility for security investigations, threat hunting, network forensics, lawful interception, and NDR. By retaining both packet headers and payloads, it enables communication reconstruction, evidence gathering, timeline analysis, and a deeper understanding of network activity.

A cybersecurity platform unifies visibility, threat detection, investigation, attack reconstruction, and response within a single environment. By correlating data across networks, endpoints, cloud environments, and applications, it supports network detection and response, security operations, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence, lawful interception, and critical infrastructure protection while helping organizations uncover threats and reconstruct security incidents.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) helps organizations collect, centralize, and correlate security data across their digital environments. By providing visibility into security events and activity, SIEM enables threat detection, incident investigation, threat hunting, and security monitoring, helping security teams identify suspicious behavior and strengthen security operations.

An incident commander leads and coordinates cybersecurity incident response efforts during cyberattacks, ransomware events, and operational disruptions. The role focuses on managing communication, prioritizing response actions, maintaining situational awareness, supporting containment decisions, and ensuring technical and business teams remain aligned throughout the incident lifecycle.
