Swift Handling of Compromised Servers

Picture
Imagine discovering that 100 servers within your organisation's infrastructure have been compromised for Bitcoin mining purposes. This poses a significant threat not only in terms of resource utilisation but also potential data breaches and financial loss.

Here's how OpenSecOps SOAR tackles this critical situation:

  1. Immediate Detection: OpenSecOps SOAR continuously monitors for any suspicious activities or anomalies within your infrastructure. It quickly identifies when servers are being exploited for illicit activities like cryptocurrency mining.

  2. Parallel Snapshotting and Termination: Upon detecting these compromised servers, OpenSecOps SOAR takes immediate action by snapshotting each server in parallel for forensic purposes while simultaneously terminating them. This rapid response minimises further damage caused by malicious activity. Parallelisation here is crucial and can only be accomplished through automation. ​
    ​
  3. Stakeholder Communication: To keep relevant stakeholders informed about this incident, OpenSecOps SOAR sends out helpful email notifications detailing the actions taken against the compromised servers. The emails provide clear information regarding what has occurred and assure stakeholders that swift measures have been implemented.

By leveraging the same battle-tested technology used by Goldman Sachs for server snapshotting and termination processes, combined with efficient communication channels provided by OpenSecOps SOAR, organisations can swiftly mitigate threats posed by compromised servers, minimising potential damage and protecting valuable resources.
