THETA432: Performance, Precision, Efficiency, Visibility - The Key to Incident Response and Answer to the Talent Shortage

In the digital age of 24x7 connectivity and ever-increasing cyber threats, security analysts are bombarded with a perpetual flow of security data and a wide range of security tools to protect their network. With the disproportionate ratio of employees to incoming events, analyst fatigue has become a critical factor for security operations and is a factor in intrusion analysis. Too many events are left untouched (or receive insufficient attention) as companies lack an effective process management system. The time taken to onboard and train employees to get acquainted with the company’s network, workflows and procedures let alone thwart intrusions occupies a significant amount of time, that hinders overall productivity. Addressing these challenges with expertise in cyber defense and incident life cycle activities is THETA432, a start-up that focuses on efficiency and provides a robust framework for incident response. The company holds experience in catering to everything from incident analysis to cyber threat hunting, including reverse engineering malware and cyberthreat intelligence. “The goal is to reinforce efficiency to the extent where it seems like pressing a button will prevent the attack,” says M. Michael Mitama, CEO of the company. Known as a trusted advisor that provides visibility into the incident response lifecycle and managing KPIs for their clients when it comes to reinforcing a process that can deal with every alert or event efficiently, THETA432 offers an innovative array of solutions.

The company specializes in several cyber defence strategies, including reducing the number of false positives through automation and orchestration, which are glaringly prevalent throughout enterprises. By working with other departments such as compliance and vulnerability management, they also empower them to utilize technology effectively. Mitama mentions that they primarily focus on the client’s needs by offering them the maximum benefits and providing feedback in the form of KPIs. “It’s no longer just providing a security tool to prevent attacks; the problem lies in the inefficiency of alerting and responding to events effectively which we bring to the surface with our methodology of cyber defense, Incident response and embedded operations,” adds Michael.
