The Role
Summary
Security Monitoring (SecMon) provides a solution for a view of the security
posture of the Firm. The monitoring of the various devices, networks and
employees of the Firm are performed using various monitoring tools. A web
portal is provided to view all the available data and to allow each department
or division to better understand their risks and exposures, allowing efficient
remediation of vulnerabilities.
We use a multitude of security tools that are part software products and part
internally developed. Their use is to identify by exception based review using
varying data mining techniques the misuse or vulnerabilities of the firms
systems.
Using these tools we look to analysis people and technology behaviour sometime
using defined known ‘signatures’ and sometimes by profiling, but all
the time to exception based targeted analysis. Our work is far more
sophisticated than the perceived media hype of big brother surveillance.

the team with drive and enthusiasm to learn about information security, develop
existing solutions and to develop the next generation suite of tools.
