In an era where cybersecurity threats loom large, PwC has emerged as a beacon of protection, safeguarding their customers' digital assets through a partnership with Tanium. The collaboration has widened PwC's pool of tools to provide top-notch cybersecurity services, including SOC Managed Service (MTDR), Compromise Assessment, Cyber Hygiene Assessment, and Incident Response, all aimed at delivering real-time security and peace of mind to clients.
With a commitment to staying one step ahead of cyber threats, PwC has transformed the standard reactive approach of SOC Managed Service delivery to a proactive real-time approach by integrating Tanium's cutting-edge technology into the rest of the technology stack. Tanium's platform has empowered PwC teams to detect and respond to threats in Close Quarter Combat mode (CQB) due to real-time capabilities, bolstering their clients' defences and bringing quick solutions to intractable problems.
Petr Špiřík, the PwC CZ partner responsible for Cybersecurity, remarked, "Managed SOC provides organisations with a cost-effective, scalable, and expert solution to their security needs, allowing them to focus on their core business while knowing that dedicated professionals are handling their security."
In the unfortunate event of a cybersecurity breach, PwC has honed its incident response and digital forensic capabilities with the support of Tanium technology. The key difference between Tanium and other IR technologies is that it provides a full view of the activity data from the environment and doesn't just limit the data to the extent that the other technology vendor thinks is important. The APT threat actors have their own research teams and test the security tools in their labs, putting in a great deal of effort to find a way to get around them. Tanium simply provides the full picture of the data and, combined with PwC expertise, we can uncover even the most sophisticated threat actors in the environment and counter them. The combination of IR and DFIR with threat hunting and MTDR services for continuous 24/7 security monitoring enables PwC to provide a swift, precise, and efficient response, thus minimising the impact of security incidents.
In addition, PwC is helping to not only fight the threat actors, but also recover the IT environments due to the remediation services where additional Tanium technology modules can provide the necessary support. It decreases the time to recover and helps the business get back to its original state. The remediation element is something new that hardly any other single solution or vendor can provide. To stay relevant in the crisis, PwC provides not only technology experts in the Security and IT operations field, but also combines comprehensive crisis expertise from multiple fields (e.g., Legal, Cyber, Communication) to help customers tackle cyber attacks. PwC provides end-to-end services for managing a complex crisis as this is what industry needs.
Petr Špiřík, the PwC CZ partner responsible for Cybersecurity, emphasised, "Our partnership with Tanium has been instrumental in elevating our incident response capabilities. In today's fast-evolving cyber threats, speed and precision are paramount."
The passive approach to cyber defence is old and provides the response to already established threat actors in the environment, which in the end creates more effort for the remediation and increases the overall costs for cyber security.
PwC expertise in a proactive approach, supported by utilising Tanium's technology stack, focused on performing Compromise Assessment and Cyber Hygiene Assessment enhances their clients' cybersecurity posture and helps stop live cyber threat actors before they achieve their goals such as data theft or a ransomware operation. By identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses together with mitigation in real time with a single solution, PwC ensures that their clients can prevent major incidents from happening, slowing down the threat actors and giving more space for timely remediation. Thus client environments are better prepared to defend, because the cyber defence posture is being strengthened during the cyber attack. Finally, it decreases the burden on maintaining the point solutions, decreases resolution times and the total cost of ownership.
The heart of this partnership is PwC's dedication to its clients' Cybersecurity. By integrating Tanium's solutions into its services, PwC has strengthened its cybersecurity portfolio and demonstrated its commitment to providing unparalleled protection for its customers.
Petr Špiřík concludes, "Our strategic alliance with Tanium has been evolving since 2013. This has enabled us to gain valuable, quick insight into our clients' endpoints, including laptops, servers, virtual machines, containers, and cloud infrastructure. Our team of Tanium experts has developed a unique capability on top of the Tanium platform that allows us to help our clients solve important problems. We have won awards for innovation and service excellence from Tanium a number of our team members have been recognised as 'Tanium Titans.'"
In conclusion, PwC's alliance with Tanium has enabled them to better shape the cybersecurity landscape, where the speed of problem-solving is critical. It is a new era where threats are faster due to AI and machine learning. The companies and people behind them who understand this will see the extra value in the solutions we provide. PwC's proactive approach and state-of-the-art solutions, backed by Tanium's technology platforms, offer clients robust protection in an increasingly digital world. As cyber threats continue to evolve, PwC stands as a guardian, ensuring clients can confidently navigate the digital realm.
