Subex has developed a unique concept to help educational institutions leverage IoT security as an enabler for academic excellence and student success.

We can partner with your educational institutional to establish a fully functional IoT Centre of Excellence in your campus. We will not just set up the facility which includes a fully functional lab but also train your staff to run and manage it. This cyber security lab will sit at the heart of your IoT security exposure and training initiatives and give your students a chance to learn, train and conduct real-time security projects, drills, maneuvers and turn into IoT security professionals. It also gives you a chance to launch new courses, augment existing ones and attract executives for continuing education programmes.

This lab will also help your institution build its reputation as an IoT security center of excellence thereby gaining access to new funding sources and climbing the ladder of educational ranking. Overall it is an investment in academic excellence and institutional and student success.

The IoT Security Center of Excellence will include

• Fully functional IoT security lab with equipment and software
• Access to Subex cybersecurity experts, expertise and training resources
• Positioning workshops to educate teams from your institution on leveraging the CoE to promote your academic brand
• Report on your cybersecurity readiness from our experts
• Opportunities to collaborate with Subex on live projects

A year back, a major enterprise was hacked into via their connected utility system. The attack resulted in losses of as much as $2 billion and loss of goodwill among stakeholders.

The threat environment that businesses are exposed to today is a dynamic and an evolving one. Subex’s own honeypot network spread across 48 cities around the globe has shown us the extent of the spread of mutating malware and vulnerabilities both of which could exponentially increase the operational and credibility risk businesses face.

To help businesses take on such risks, we have opened our risk and vulnerability assessment practice for enhancing IoT security for our customers. This practice can work as a consultancy agent with your business to highlight your IoT vulnerabilities, risks and derive practices to protect your critical assets data and other assets from all forms of cyber-attacks.

By choosing our security consulting services, you can focus on your business priorities while Subex takes care of your asset and data protection needs.

Subex Secure Support:  through our support services, you gain access to the resources of our Global IoT Support Operations Center including Custom Incident Response Plans (CIRP), Detection Element Management and Maintenance, version patching and timely signature updates. Subex will also work towards fine tuning of the rules to ensure the false positives are suppressed and close to 90% genuine alert percentage is maintained.

Subex aims to partner with you to establish an advanced threat detection, high performance environment and a low touch solution for critical infrastructure monitoring which will secure your infrastructure.

Mobile edge computing or Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) – is a network architecture that enables cloud computing to be done at the edge of a mobile network. Currently, many applications manage their online computations and content storage on servers located far away from the device and the end user. MEC brings those processes closer to the user by integrating with the local cellular base stations.

The MEC brings forth its own challenges. The idea of moving infrastructure and resource management to the local node could bring trust issues on the overall network. Among the known threats, the risk of a man-in-the-middle and polymorphic DDoS attacks are higher with MEC. When devices get cloud access at the node level, sometimes without adequate identification, the chance of a misuse or even pilferage of data is more.

Subex offers comprehensive protection for securing IoT deployments by securing traffic at the edge. Our MEC deployment option gives your security team a local node view of the security situation in addition to a larger one comprising all nodes through a micro Security Operations Center (SOC). Views at micro, local and sectoral SoCs can be pulled out faster to gain situational awareness and curb and contain infections faster before they gain the ability to threaten the whole deployment across nodes.

Subex Secure can manage threat detection, analysis and mitigation at the edge. This ensure continuation of data flow across other nodes and reduces the business impact of an infection in addition to containing infections faster.

Our SOC services are based on the extensive expertise we have gained over the years in establishing and managing SOCs for various businesses. We have established and proven capabilities in

• Setting up greenfield SOC, ground-up covering architecture, solutions, policies, consulting, integration, management, compliance alignment and other needs
• Helping established SOCs scale up to meet new compliance mandates or other emerging requirements
• Building a SOC roadmap
• Improving risk posture through SOC
• Managing SOC resources

Reach out to us to establish, manage or upscale a SOC.

If you are running a oil and gas facility, smart city, connected infrastructure (such as highways or ports), a large manufacturing facility or any infrastructure categorized in the critical category, we can help you assess your security environment and associated dynamics and share a comprehensive report at the end of the exercise.

The report will offer comprehensive insights into the risk vectors, attack surfaces and details of your security posture such as compromised systems, risky user behavior, and diligence inputs around patching cadence, configurations, and much more. It will serve as a foundation for you to take key actions to address the identified weak links and potential issues that could create problems in the days to come.
The report will have details of malware, if any, detected and recommendations on improving your security posture while minimizing risks.

Subex’s proprietary security assessment methodology involves three phases viz., diligence, investigation, assessment and analysis. At each stage, all elements of your IT, OT and IoT are assessed across over 300 level one parameters to derive a comprehensive assessment of your institutional security posture. The team then puts together a series of recommendations for you to address.
