Thinking about cybersecurity, don't forget about tSEC

The system that supports the cybersecurity of miŚOTs at various levels and in many aspects is tSEC. Its further functionalities are presented at the MiŚOT Congresses. Then there are the questions of telecommunications operators and verbalization of their needs in the field of cybersecurity. And if possible, it is implemented into tSEC, which makes the system increasingly better security.

tSEC has been operating for a year and during this time many new elements have appeared in it as a response to the changing situation of cyber threats for small and medium-sized telecommunications operators. There were also legal requirements, such as KSC, which influenced the structure of tSEC.

tSEC means many functions that support the cybersecurity of the MiŚOTs. By using it, you have:
– full control over network traffic - the option to monitor network traffic on an ongoing basis;
– rapid detection and neutralization of threats – identification of DDoS and DoS attacks or other threats detected by the IDs system and any anomalies in motion;
– the ability to act independently – both when controlling the blackholing mechanism and when creating dashboards to track key parameters;
– clear visualization of network traffic – intuitive graphs and panels;
– advanced analysis of incidents and threats – including the creation and analysis of reports;
– access to the tRISK module with risk analysis.

–  We are also working on such a solution that you, as MiŚOTs, will be able to offer to your final customer. I am referring here to business customers – he announced Maciej Linscheid from the MdS Project.

A novelty in tSEC, on the other hand, is the EPIX client panel, where operators can check what services they have and what their status is in EPIX. The operation is intuitive and based on known codes.

– If everything is green, it's ok and you don't have to worry about anything. If red flags appear, you can immediately see where the problem is – explained Maciej Linscheid – This feature is ready and we are just waiting for approval to implement it.

Users can expect it to work in the near future.

Recursive DNS and scrubbing

One of the tSEC features that operators are interested in is recursive DNS to block gambling sites. Currently, it has a promotional price, which may encourage operators to take advantage of it and test it, for easier management of their network.

There are also invariably questions about srubbing, which it supports in protecting against DDoS attacks.

–  I know you would all like to have a scrubber and the ability to filter the network, but by then some water has to run out – informed the MdS Project representative.

External solutions were tested, but they did not pass the high requirements. Therefore, work has begun on its own solution that can be offered to operators. However, it still takes time to bring it to the finals and add the right function to the tSEC.

What else does tSEC offer?

Those who use tSEC have access not only to the listed functions. The following are also available under tSEC:
– security consultations;
– GDPR consultations;
Security audits
– GDPR audits;
– pentest;
– stres test;
– security and GDPR training;
– post-incidental analysis;
– UDO inspector service;
– cybersecurity proxy service;
– Ouk service;
– support in the field of KSC;
– implementation of the ISMS (information security management system);
– ISMS service

tSEC is still developing and meets the expectations of operators. All this to support the cybersecurity of themselves and their customers.
