Reimagining Cybersecurity:
The Power of Managed Security Services

Imagine having a team of cybersecurity experts working around the clock to protect your business, powered by cutting-edge AI capable of detecting threats before they even reach your door. This is cybersecurity designed for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s risks. Think Concepts’ new Security Plus MSA brings enterprise-level cybersecurity within reach for businesses of all sizes, providing around-the-clock protection and expert monitoring.

This innovative solution is designed to provide the ultimate protection for your business. With an added focus on advanced cybersecurity, it includes everything in our Full Managed IT Support Subscription — plus enhanced security features to protect against ransomware and data breaches.

Here are the key features that make it effective:

24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC)

Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) leverages advanced AI-powered insights to continuously monitor and protect your systems. It provides real-time alerts and automatically blocks suspicious activities, neutralising threats before they escalate into major incidents. By continuously monitoring user activities and device interactions across all platforms, we can assess millions of log files instantaneously. This enables us to identify and mitigate issues in real time, stopping any attack and preventing its spread. Our advanced detection capabilities ensure that even the most sophisticated threats are neutralised quickly and effectively.

Ransomware Protection

Prevents ransomware from running on your devices, ensuring your data remains safe and secure. Each security product adds a unique layer of protection, and together they provide comprehensive ransomware defence, offering premium protection through their combined capabilities.

Privilege Analysis of Network Accounts, Systems, and Groups

Privilege analysis ensures that only authorised users have access to sensitive data, enhancing the security of your network. By continuously monitoring and analysing user privileges, we make sure that your data remains secure, and access is restricted to trusted individuals.

DNS and Web Content Filtering/Protection

Filters what your team can see online, blocking malicious web traffic before the user accesses it, and protecting against potential threats.

Dark Web Compromise Monitoring

Detects and informs you of leaked credentials from third-party services, prompting timely password resets to maintain security.

How Security Plus Managed Services Solves Key Cybersecurity Challenges

Businesses today face an ever-growing range of sophisticated cyber threats. While traditional measures like password policies, firewalls, and encryption remain important, they’re no longer enough on their own. To stay ahead, organisations need a more proactive and intelligent approach. That’s where Think Concepts’ Security Plus Managed Services (Security Plus MSA) comes in — combining AI-powered technology and 24/7 expert oversight to deliver advanced, automated protection that builds on your existing defences. Here’s how Security Plus MSA takes your cybersecurity to the next level.

  • The Challenge: Organisations have used strong password policies, two-factor authentication, and manual resets after breaches as reliable ways to secure credentials. While effective, these methods can sometimes depend on user actions, which introduces potential gaps if alerts are missed or delayed.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Our Security Plus MSA actively monitors dark web marketplaces and forums for any signs that your employees' business credentials have been exposed in data breaches elsewhere and responds immediately. Upon identifying a compromised credential, our Security Plus MSA, through its integrated SOC capabilities, automatically triggers a password reset in systems like Microsoft 365. This immediate, automated response mitigates risk without depending on users to take action, providing seamless protection.

  • The Challenge: Access controls, encryption, and strong passwords have long been the foundation of data security, helping to limit access to authorised individuals. However, monitoring and managing access manually can mean unauthorised attempts aren’t always caught immediately.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Through privilege analysis, Security Plus uses AI to detect unusual access patterns in real time. For instance, if an employee who usually logs in from Auckland during business hours suddenly attempts to access the system from another country at night, Security Plus MSA instantly flags this as suspicious. This proactive, automated oversight adds an extra layer of security by detecting and acting on unusual access without waiting for manual checks, reducing the risk of unauthorised access incidents.

  • The Challenge: Companies rely on antivirus software, firewalls, and employee training as effective defences against ransomware. These tools form a crucial line of defence, though some sophisticated attacks can still find vulnerabilities.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Our Security Plus MSA goes beyond reacting to ransomware by actively hunting for signs of a ransomware attack, such as unexpected encryption activity or unusual data access patterns. With AI-driven analysis, Security Plus identifies and neutralises threats before they can cause significant harm, minimising both data loss and potential downtime.

  • The Challenge: Phishing and social engineering are designed to exploit human vulnerabilities, tricking users into clicking malicious links or sharing sensitive data. Traditional approaches often involve user training and anti-spam filters, which, while useful, don’t always catch sophisticated phishing emails or targeted attacks.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Security Plus goes further by using AI and machine learning to automatically detect and isolate phishing attempts at multiple points in the communication flow. Emails are subjected to AI-powered filters that evaluate content, sender reputation, and context to determine legitimacy. Suspicious emails are flagged or quarantined before they reach users. Additionally, Security Plus identifies patterns in phishing attempts across the business, continuously adapting its filters to block new and emerging threats.

  • The Challenge: In complex networks, valuable data is continuously generated by system logs, user activity, and network traffic. However, without dedicated analysis, these logs can go unused, leaving potential threats hidden within massive data volumes. Traditional monitoring tools often lack the capacity to analyse this data in real-time, making it difficult to identify subtle security risks before they escalate.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Our Security Plus MSA leverages data log analysis to continuously scan and interpret logs from all network sources, detecting patterns and irregularities that could signal a security threat. Using AI-driven analytics, Security Plus can identify unusual login times, abnormal data transfers, or failed login attempts that might otherwise go unnoticed. By analysing logs in real time, Security Plus provides proactive alerts on potential risks, allowing for rapid response to unusual patterns before they escalate.

    Benefits of Data Log Analysis:

    • Early Detection: Identifies risks and anomalies in real-time, reducing response times.

    • Trend Analysis: Tracks user and network behaviour trends to spot potential security gaps.

    • Incident Correlation: Correlates data from different log sources (e.g., servers, applications, network devices) to provide a holistic view of network health and security.

  • The Challenge: In many businesses, cybersecurity tools operate independently without integration, leading to a fragmented approach to security. This can create blind spots, slow down response times, and make it challenging to maintain a cohesive security strategy.

    The Security Plus MSA Solution: Security Plus unifies all cybersecurity efforts into a single, integrated framework. By consolidating threat detection, monitoring, response, and reporting, Security Plus MSA offers centralised oversight that enhances visibility and enables quicker, coordinated responses. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of security work together, providing a cohesive, streamlined defence.
