Empowering security excellence: The dynamic partnership between FreeDivision and IBM

In
the
ever-evolving
landscape
of
cybersecurity,
businesses
are
constantly
seeking
robust
solutions
to
fortify
their
defenses
and
navigate
the
complex
challenges
posed
by
cyberthreats.
FreeDivision,
an
IBM
Business
Partner,
stands
out
in
the
field
by
understanding
the
local
needs
of
its
clients.
Operating
as
a
security
service
partner,
FreeDivision
leverages
IBM’s
endpoint
detection
and
response
(EDR)
solution,
IBM
Security®
QRadar®
EDR,
as
part
of
its
solution,
freedivision.io,
to
address
the
unique
security
concerns
of
its
clients.
 

Clients
look
to
FreeDivision
for
help
in
two
key
areas:
Security
audit
and
consultation,
and
incident
response
and
recovery.
 

Security
audit
and
consultation

Many
companies
still
underestimate
the
depth
of
security
required,
often
relying
solely
on
antivirus
solutions.
FreeDivision’s
products
and
expertise
distinctly
stand
out
when
conducting
comprehensive
security
checks
for
clients.
Its
solution
not
only
protects
against
threats,
but
also
acts
as
a
vigilant
hunting
tool.
 

Through
in-depth
analysis
of
logs,
FreeDivision
guides
clients
toward
fortified
security
postures,
minimizing
the
risk
of
ransomware
and
other
cyberthreats.
Protection
against
ransomware
is
provided
by
IBM
QRadar
EDR’s
adaptive
system.
Due
to
QRadar
EDR,
FreeDivision
can
resolve
security
incidents
in
seconds.
The
response
procedures
use
artificial
intelligence
to
prevent
human
error
and
enable
rapid
response
to
threats. 

“IBM
Security
QRadar
EDR
is
like
a
powerful
EDR–the
built-in
AI
and
automation
make
it
fast,
efficient
and
easy
to
use.” 
—Sandro
Huber,
Chief
Information
Officer
and
Co-owner
of
FreeDivision

Incident
response
and
recovery

For
clients
who
seek
assistance
after
falling
victim
to
attacks,
FreeDivision
steps
in
to
remediate
the
situation
and
fortify
defenses.
By
engaging
with
clients
who
experienced
a
ransomware
attack,
FreeDivision
not
only
resolves
immediate
threats,
but
also
collaborates
with
them
to
establish
resilient
security
measures
for
the
future.
To
prepare
its
clients
for
any
future
attacks,
FreeDivision
has
embedded
IBM
QRadar
EDR
to
detect
and
block
new
and
unknown
threats,
from
ransomware
to
sophisticated
file
attacks,
to
memory-only
attacks.
 

A
ransomware
hacker
attack 

When
PeHtoo,
a
Czech
manufacturer,
was
attacked
by
a
ransomware
hacker,
it
engaged
FreeDivision
to
help
it
recover.
Ivan
Eminger,
CEO
of
PeHtoo,
tells
the
story: 

“By
our
standards,
we
have
invested
considerable
resources
in
IT
operations
and
security.
Unfortunately,
it
turns
out
that
this
alone
was
not
enough.
We
were
attacked
by
a
ransomware
hacker.
Our
data
was
completely
stolen
and
then
encrypted.
We
had
to
start
rebuilding
the
company
from
scratch. 

Fortunately,
FreeDivision
experts
helped
us
set
up
new
IT
processes
and
security
standards.
Thanks
to
its
MDR
services,
we
have
a
constant
overview
of
all
user
processes
started
in
our
company
infrastructure
and
any
deviation
from
normal
user
behavior
is
immediately
addressed
in
an
isolated
environment
outside
of
production
operations.
Combined
with
network
security
and
a
next-generation
security
gateway
at
the
perimeter,
we
are
now
much
better
prepared
to
counter
existing
threats,
allowing
us
to
focus
on
the
core
activities
of
our
business
with
greater
peace
of
mind.”
