BI.ZONE maintains a diverse portfolio of proprietary software designed to address specific layers of the enterprise security stack.
BI.ZONE ThreatVision
ThreatVision is the companyâ??s flagship threat intelligence platform (TIP). It aggregates data from a multitude of sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), dark web monitoring, and BI.ZONEâ??s own telemetry. The platform processes this data to provide actionable indicators of compromise (IoCs) and context about threat actors, allowing security teams to anticipate attacks before they occur.
BI.ZONE TDR (Threat Detection and Response)
This is an advanced platform focused on endpoint protection and network visibility. It utilizes machine learning and behavioral analysis to identify suspicious activities that traditional antivirus solutions might miss. BI.ZONE TDR facilitates rapid containment of threats by providing security analysts with remote management capabilities and detailed forensics data from affected hosts.
BI.ZONE WAF (Web Application Firewall)
A high-performance solution designed to protect web applications and APIs from common vulnerabilities, such as those listed in the OWASP Top 10. The WAF employs signature-based detection alongside behavioral analysis to block malicious traffic, prevent SQL injections, and mitigate Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks without impacting the user experience.
BI.ZONE CPT (Continuous Penetration Testing)
Moving beyond the limitations of annual audits, BI.ZONE CPT offers a platform for continuous security assessment. It automates the discovery of external assets and regularly scans for vulnerabilities, simulating the actions of a real-world attacker. This allows organizations to identify and remediate security gaps in real-time as their infrastructure evolves.
BI.ZONE Secure DNS
This service protects users at the DNS layer by blocking requests to known malicious domains, phishing sites, and command-and-control (C2) servers. It is often used as a first line of defense to prevent malware from communicating with its creators or to stop users from accidentally navigating to fraudulent websites.
Managed Security Services (MSSP)
BI.ZONE operates a sophisticated Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides 24/7 monitoring and response services for organizations that prefer to outsource their security operations.
- Managed Detection and Response (MDR): BI.ZONE experts monitor the clientâ??s infrastructure using the TDR platform, identifying threats and executing pre-approved response actions to neutralize incidents immediately.
- Vulnerability Management: A managed service where BI.ZONE identifies, prioritizes, and tracks the remediation of security flaws across the clientâ??s IT environment.
- Brand Protection: This service focuses on external risks, such as the creation of fake social media profiles, phishing domains, and the unauthorized use of company trademarks on the internet.
Consulting and Compliance Services
BI.ZONE offers extensive professional services to help organizations align with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
- Security Compliance and Risk Management: BI.ZONE assists organizations in meeting the requirements of frameworks such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and local Russian regulations (e.g., FSTEC and FSB requirements). Their "BI.ZONE Compliance" platform automates the collection of evidence and the monitoring of internal controls, significantly reducing the manual effort required for audits.
- Strategic Consulting: Helping executives develop cybersecurity roadmaps, governance structures, and investment strategies to ensure security programs align with business goals.
- Cyber Resilience Audits: Comprehensive assessments of an organizationâ??s ability to withstand and recover from a major cyberattack, including business continuity planning.
Incident Response and Digital Forensics
BI.ZONE maintains a specialized Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) that is available to assist organizations during active breaches.
- Emergency Incident Response: Expert teams deploy to contain breaches, identify the root cause of the compromise, and assist in the recovery of affected systems.
- Digital Forensics: Detailed investigation of digital evidence to reconstruct the timeline of an attack and support legal or regulatory proceedings.
- Compromise Assessment: A proactive service designed to determine if an organizationâ??s network has already been breached by identifying hidden traces of past or ongoing malicious activity.
Cybersecurity Education and Awareness
Recognizing the human element in cybersecurity, BI.ZONE provides training programs for various organizational levels.
- Cyber Exercises and Simulation: BI.ZONE conducts "Red Teaming" exercises and "Purple Teaming" collaborations to test a company's defensive capabilities against realistic attack scenarios.
- Security Awareness Training: Automated platforms that deliver educational content and phishing simulations to employees, helping to reduce the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks.
- Technical Training for Specialists: In-depth courses for IT and security professionals covering topics such as reverse engineering, secure coding practices, and advanced incident response.
