13 Layers Managed CyberSecurity Services Pyramid

PEOPLE

We built 13 Layers to protect our economy by securing our most valuable assets: people and the data they use. When 13 Layers joins forces with your team, the results are absolute and immediate. Our team of security analysts, network engineers, security researchers, and ethical hackers, work 24/7/365 on your behalf. Their daily goals are to detect and stop malicious threat actors while providing hands on network support to your existing IT resources.

Process

From the very first conversation and throughout our journey together, you will see that our approach is unique. We don’t want to sell you a tool and move on to the next client. We prefer to earn your trust for life through education, action, and data.

Our primary objective is to help you stop attackers in real time while we continually improve the maturity of your information security program. Our methodology is in our name, and our multi-layered security controls and process allow us to meet your IT and security teams where their needs begin.

1. 24/7/365 Threat INTELLIGENCE Gathering

Our team of Ethical Hackers, Software Developers, and Threat Intelligence Analysts work hand-in-hand to produce actionable human intelligence that is then processed at machine speed via different layers of security controls. We gather and test intelligence in three ways:

Curated data from partnerships with top security firms and government agencies, including more than 30 million indicators of compromise from 900+ lists.
Threat Intelligence Analysts and Software Developers tasked with reverse-engineering data gathered from our 42+ honeypots* (*fake networks designed to catch malware) positioned strategically around the globe.
Our Ethical Hacking team continuously tests against this curated Threat Intelligence data in live and test environments.

All of the threatINTELLIGENCE that has been curated and verified is then passed back to our clients via our threatINTELLIGENCE platform to stop malicious traffic in real time. Once that malicious traffic has been blocked and identified at the local level, the 13 Layers team then passes that intelligence to other layers in our clients’ environments, like their endpoint detection and response, firewall, SIEM logs, Cloud environment, Microsoft 365 and more!

2. Baseline Assessments

During our first meeting, we will focus directly on your most urgent security challenges and projects. Together, we will identify gaps in your security controls and prioritize solutions based on your organization’s risk profile. We will then work together to choose a baseline assessment that works best for you. Those options include

3. Review and Recommend

Together, we will review results, reports, and recommendations from your baseline assessments, while putting the power of global Threat Intelligence and live data from your network in your hands.

4. Onboarding and Install

Based on the goals you outlined during our initial consultation, we will work as a team to prioritize the deployment of solutions and services at your pace and within your budget.

We can deploy proactive security controls in any environment in under 15 minutes that will provide real-time protection within 30 minutes without training.

5. Continuous Improvement

We will be right by your side to make continuous improvements to the security posture of your organization. After onboarding and deployment, improvements we can make together include

Foundational: Update policies, procedures, and incident response plan
Foundational: Governance, risk, and compliance guidance to ensure all requirements are up-to-date and documented.
Vulnerability Management: Built-in vulnerability assessments at no additional charge.
Technical Controls: Through a combination of manual and automated processes, we can improve the efficiency and value of your firewalls/gateways, endpoint detection and response, SIEM logs, Microsoft 365 environment, cloud environments, and more! If you recently entered into a lengthy cybersecurity contract, we can help you get more out of it!
Zero Trust Architecture: Audit and improvements to asset inventory, users, groups, privileges, policies, and network architecture.

As new challenges and goals arise, we will provide guidance and tools to meet your needs where they begin. In addition to ensuring daily cybersecurity resilience, continuous improvements we can make together include:

Cyber liability insurance – procurement and/or reducing premium increases.
Growth Initiatives – providing protection and/or documentation required for new customer acquisition, M&A activity, new lines of business, etc.
Digital Transformation Initiatives – Guidance on new technology through our extensive partner ecosystem.

SPEED

WE STOP MALICIOUS TRAFFIC IN LESS THAN 1 MILLISECOND

Ransomware attacks execute in less than 30 seconds
The fastest ransomware encrypts 25,000 files per minute
Most solutions take 30 minutes to days just to provide an alert AFTER the threat has entered the network.
High priority alerts are often missed while 30%-50% can be false positives and a complete waste of time to investigate. The attackers know this and use it to their advantage.

We proactively stop the same malicious traffic in real time (<0.02 milliseconds) BEFORE it enters the network by tracking the attacker’s infrastructure, tactics, techniques and procedures. Within 30 minutes of deployment, our customers see a minimum of 80% reduction in malware infections. 13 Layers produces RESULTS not alerts and FAST!

ARCHITECTURE

FULL-STACK SOLUTION CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NETWORK TOPOLOGY

After we discuss your current security challenges, we will promplty switch focus to the architecture of your network and security controls. Thousands of dollars can be saved just by slowing down and making foundational changes that do not require the use of another expensive cybersecurity tool.

Zero Trust Architecture is a new buzzword (that is often misrepresented) for some, but has been built into the fabric of what we do on a daily basis for many years. Our 12 Layer, defense in depth methodology can help your organization achieve a zero trust architecture with controls customized to your business. During our initial consultation we will get a better understanding of your network’s architecture, so that we may begin implementing Zero Trust into the fabric of your network as well.

INTELLIGENCE

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE PROCESSED AT MACHINE SPEEDS

Our partnerships with top security firms and government agencies provide us with over 30 million indicators of compromise across more than 900 lists. Every 30 minutes this threatINTELLIGENCE is curated and pushed out to all of our customers globally. Our clients enjoy direct access to this intelligence with a clear view of all of the blocked attackers including who is attempting the attack, how many times they tried, from which device and what kind of attack they attempted. We then take your live intelligence and feed it back into your other security solutions, making them stronger. Zero Days = Zero Problems.

MANAGEMENT

DEPLOYED IN MINUTES, PROTECTED IMMEDIATELY

All of the technologies we deploy require minimal effort from our partners, are fully integrated and can be deployed without business interruption on your schedule. We can deploy proactive security controls in any environment in under 15 minutes that will provide real time protection within 30 minutes without training.

Small Business Solutions

If an attacker were to target your home, they would encounter a traditional reactive security system with heavy duty locks, warning signs, door and window sensors, motion sensors, video cameras with recordings, and a team of people monitoring the alerts. Once the thief triggers a sensor, alerts are sent to you and the security company, police are notified and will arrive as soon as they are able. If you’re a parent like many of us, that’s a best case scenario that you would prefer to avoid at all cost. Unfortunately this tech-savvy thief is able to bypass the security panel, pick the locks, confuse the sensors, and get out before the police respond. Your only option is to provide the camera footage and alerts to the police and hope for the best. This same reactive strategy in the cybersecurity industry has proven to be ineffective and has led to billions of dollars of damages to small businesses.

Now imagine if you had a team of experts who had been studying that same attacker from his early solo days of breaking into unlocked cars to just hours ago when he and his team broke into the business down the street? What if that same team could provide detail on every technique he had ever used including the pathways he takes, what he drives, what he’s wearing today, and the fact that he’s about to be on your doorstep in minutes? Once he arrives at your doorstep, he’s instantly removed from the equation without human intervention. Your sensors stay quiet, the police aren’t called, your family is safe, and the attacker moves on to a much easier target. This proactive security strategy is what 13 Layers has been providing to large companies for many years. Now we are able to offer this same strategy and protection for small businesses.
