Truphone steps up endpoint security with Crowdstrike Falcon platform
By the Truphone Cybersecurity Team
With its headquarters in the UK, Truphone is a global company with presence in 14 locations around the world. At Truphone we believe that “the better the world communicates, the better the world.”
With that in mind, Truphone has invested in becoming the world’s first truly global network through its own network infrastructure and partnerships with other operators worldwide. Today, our patented technology serves over 3,500 multinational enterprises in almost every country in the world.
As a result of Truphone’s successful journey, its offices and customers’ geo-dispersion, and the growing interconnection of our network with multiple partners and third parties, the exposure to threat vectors has been increasing exponentially.
This creates a high complexity when it comes to detecting indicators of attack and indicators of compromise across a complex and decentralized infrastructure across multiple datacentres, cloud providers and users’ endpoints.
The constant changes, the increased level of sophistication on attacks and the volume of data involved and processed on the daily basis activities are some of the aspects that Truphone Cybersecurity Team must handle every day.
Cybersecurity must now be changed to a multilayer solution, that has no boundaries and that acknowledges the corporate perimeter is now fading, and attack vectors are becoming ubiquitous regardless of their origin.
Conscious of the responsibility to its customers, partners and employees, Truphone has decided to move away from traditional anti-malware solutions and has stepped up in endpoint security with Crowdstrike Falcon, deploying a cloud-based solution that unifies next-generation antivirus (NGAV), endpoint detection and response (EDR), vulnerability assessment, IT hygiene and Threat Intelligence capabilities.
Truphone has eliminated silos by providing the highest level of real-time monitoring capabilities that span across detection, response and forensics. This ensures nothing is missed in the Truphone technological ecosystem, drastically reducing the probability of attack vectors being exploited.
Truphone is now leveraging on Falcon Insight capabilities to provide state-of-the-art endpoint detection and response, following an approach recommended by top analyst firms such as Gartner, which allows immediate containment capabilities in an incident response process.
Truphone also believes that IT hygiene is a cornerstone in this multilayered cybersecurity approach. With the use of Falcon Discover™, a security hygiene solution, Truphone can promptly identify unauthorized systems and applications in real-time across our environment and remediate issues quickly to improve our overall security posture. Application visibility, credential use and account monitoring, password policy enforcement and identification of rogue systems are among some of the critical capabilities Truphone can leverage.
Finally, Truphone is now also able to automate the threat analysis process and work with actionable intelligence and custom IOCs specifically tailored for the threats encountered on our endpoints. With Falcon X™, Truphone can combine the tools used by world-class cyber threat investigators into a seamless solution and performs the investigations automatically. The integrated toolset includes malware analysis and malware search and is enriched with threat intelligence.
Truphone Security Operations Centre directly communicates and interacts with Crowdstrike 24/7 Security Operations Centre, thus providing not only continuous monitoring and alerting for potential malicious agents, but also providing Truphone Computer Security & Incident Response Team (CSIRT), the means to effectively and efficiently identify, contain and eradicate threats within our network and systems.
The partnership with CrowdStrike is leveraging Truphone capabilities on having better protection and keeping ours and our client’s data safe and protected, without compromising performance, quality or customer experience.
We are entering a new era in threat actors and threat hunting, and Cybersecurity is playing a critical role in our industry. Truphone believes that one of its core values is providing ‘out of the box’ security in all our services and products, thus creating a bond of trust with all out customers and partners, assuring their data is safe with us.
