Securing your application ecosystem

Application security is vital to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of critical business functions.

With organizations increasingly relying on web servers, databases and other application services, ensuring these components are protected from external and internal threats is essential. Continuous monitoring, activity tracking, and compliance reporting help mitigate application-level vulnerabilities.

Strengthen application security—protect web servers, databases, and critical applications from evolving threats.

Top 5 Concerns

Compliance reporting for applications

Database user activity monitoring

Threat Intelligence integration

Web server security & monitoring

Antivirus activity monitoring

Antivirus solutions play a vital role in protecting applications and endpoints from malware, ransomware, and other types of malicious software. Ensuring these systems are working as expected is key to minimizing the risk of infection.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Outdated or ineffective antivirus definitions allowing malware to slip through

➡️ Failure to detect advanced persistent threats (APTs)

➡️ Over-reliance on traditional antivirus methods that fail to detect modern threats

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM continuously monitors antivirus activities, ensuring the solutions are up-to-date and functioning as intended.

Netalert NDR tracks network activity generated by malicious applications (threats) and alerts.

CQ AI Assistant can help you perform deep analysis of malware alerts and correlates them with external threat intelligence to identify zero-day and advanced threats.

Compliance reporting for applications

Ensuring applications comply with industry regulations is essential for avoiding legal issues and maintaining a strong security posture. Automated compliance reporting provides visibility into security gaps and facilitates easier audits.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Failure to comply with industry standards like GDPR, HIPAA or PCI-DSS,as well as DORA or NIS2.

➡️ Insufficient or missing audit trails for sensitive application activity

➡️ Manual compliance processes that are prone to human error

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM provides out-of-the-box compliance reporting, continuously tracking application activity against regulatory requirements.

CQ Automation schedules and performs regular compliance checks to ensure applications remain aligned with relevant standards.

CQ AI Assistant can help you generate compliance reports, highlighting areas that require attention to meet specific legal or regulatory standards.

Database user activity monitoring

Monitoring user activity within databases ensures that sensitive data remains protected from unauthorized access and exfiltration. By tracking every interaction with your data systems, you can detect suspicious behavior early on.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Unauthorized access to sensitive or classified data

➡️ Data exfiltration by compromised accounts

➡️ Lack of accountability and audit trails for database activities

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM monitors user activity logs in databases, providing real-time alerts for suspicious behavior and unauthorized access.

CQ Automation sets policies to automatically disable accounts that exhibit abnormal or unauthorized activity.

CQ AI Assistant helps identify patterns of malicious user activity, providing instant context to aid security investigations.

Threat Intelligence integration

Integrating threat intelligence data into your application monitoring helps proactively identify and respond to emerging threats before they can cause damage. Real-time threat intelligence can guide security teams in patching vulnerabilities and mitigating risks.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Delayed detection of emerging threats or zero-day vulnerabilities

➡️ Lack of proactive defense against sophisticated attacks

➡️ Inconsistent threat intelligence updates leading to blind spots

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

CQ Threat Intelligence integrates real-time threat data into your application security monitoring system, ensuring timely alerts about new and emerging threats.

Cyberquest SIEM combines internal application logs with external threat intelligence feeds to provide comprehensive monitoring and early warning.

CQ AI Assistant utilizes AI-driven threat intelligence to assess the risk of detected anomalies, automatically correlating them with known threat actor tactics.

Web server security & monitoring

Web servers are frequent targets of cyberattacks, including SQL injection and DDoS attacks. Protecting these servers is crucial for maintaining business continuity and protecting sensitive data.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ SQL injections and other code injection attacks

➡️ Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks

➡️ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks targeting vulnerable web applications

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM analyzes web server logs in real-time to detect abnormal traffic patterns, potential DDoS activity and malicious payloads.

Netalert NDR uses network traffic analysis to detect suspicious activity, including attacks on web servers and responds to mitigate the impact.
