CyberCPR to offer innovative platform to manage IT security incident response
July 2015 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Cyber Crisis Planning Room (CyberCPR) has been officially launched as the first UK developed SaaS/on-premise platform to help incident managers, analysts, executives and support staff plan and coordinate cyber incident remediation activities and post incident analyses.
Developed over two years, CyberCPR was built by a team of real world incident handlers from Logically Secure Ltd, a UK security cleared organisation led by former RAF Cyber Security staff. During the final stages of Beta, CyberCPR has been used as a core platform to manage over 115 incidents during the last 5 months.
Built from the ground up, the CyberCPR platform is comprised of several core components including a web front end which can be made available through the public firewall and core application logic that processes the information supplied by the Incident Responders.
CyberCPR maintains a secure database that holds the communications, updates, chats and other items of incident related information in an encrypted form. The platform has scalable storage for the operating System, the application files and the uploaded large incident related files.
Deployment is flexible and can reside; inside the client’s network, outside the client’s network, but under their complete control via a cloud provider or outside the client’s network on a Logically Secure hosted platform.
The entire platform uses a separation of duties methodology that is vital for managing any incident by separating ’application user’ access from ’incident access’. This separation of permissions applies to all users including even the application administrators who are not able to access any incidents unless added by the Incident Manager.
