Plan N Security

Our Plan N (sec) security suite uses a Single universal agent.

Agents are small, light programs installed on endpoints such as laptops, desktops, servers, cloud instances, or virtual machines. They provide threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities. Plan N (sec) delivers robust security monitoring and protection for your IT assets using its Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities. Plan N (sec) use cases are designed to safeguard your digital assets and enhance your organization's cybersecurity posture.

These use cases encompass File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), which ensures the integrity of your critical files; Security Configuration Assessment (SCA), which fortifies your system configurations against potential threats; Vulnerability Detection, which pinpoints potential weaknesses before they are exploited, and others. Explore our use cases and capabilities below.

1. Configuration Assessment

   Plan N (sec) monitors system and application configuration settings to ensure they comply with your security policies, standards, and/or hardening guides. The Plan N (sec) agents perform periodic scans to detect misconfigurations or security gaps in endpoints that threat actors can exploit. You can customize these configuration checks to appropriately align with your organization's needs. Security alerts include recommendations for better configuration, references, and mapping with regulatory compliance.

2. Malware Detection

   Plan N (sec) detects malicious activities and indicators of compromise that occur on endpoints due to malware infection or cyberattack. Plan N (sec) out-of-the-box ruleset and capabilities like Security Configuration Assessment (SCA), Rootcheck, and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) help to detect malicious activities and anomalies. You can configure an

3. d customize these Plan N (sec) capabilities to suit your organization's requirements.

4. File Integrity Monitoring

   Plan N (sec) monitors the file system, identifying changes in content, permissions, ownership, and attributes of files that you need to keep track of. It also natively identifies users and applications used to create or modify files. You can use the Plan N (sec) File Integrity Monitoring capability and threat intelligence to identify threats or compromised endpoints. In addition, FIM helps you meet several regulatory compliance standards, such as PCI DSS, NIST, and others.

5. Threat Hunting

   Plan N (sec) offers comprehensive visibility into monitored endpoints and infrastructure. It provides log retention, indexing, and querying capabilities to help you investigate threats that may have bypassed initial security controls. Threat detection rules are mapped against the MITRE ATT&CK framework to aid in investigating and referencing tactics, techniques, and procedures commonly used by attackers. Plan N (sec) also integrates with third-party threat intelligence feeds and platforms for enhanced threat hunting.

Plan N (sec) also integrates with third-party threat intelligence feeds and platforms for enhanced threat hunting.

7. Vulnerability Detection

   Plan N (sec) agents pull software inventory data and send it to the Plan N (sec) server. The collected inventory data is then correlated with continuously updated CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure) databases to identify known vulnerable software. Automated vulnerability detection helps you find flaws in your critical assets and take corrective action before attackers exploit them for malicious purposes.

8. Incident Response

   Plan N (sec) provides out-of-the-box active responses to perform various countermeasures against ongoing threats. These responses are triggered when specific criteria are met, including actions like blocking network access to an endpoint from the threat source and others. In addition, Plan N (sec) can be used to remotely run commands or system queries, identify indicators of compromise (IOCs), and help perform incident response tasks.

9. Regulatory Compliance

   Plan N (sec) provides some of the necessary security controls to become compliant with industry standards and regulations. These security controls include File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), Security Configuration Assessment (SCA), vulnerability detection, system inventory, and more. These capabilities, combined with its scalability and multi-platform support, help organizations meet technical compliance requirements. Plan N (sec) provides reports and dashboards for GDPR, NIST, TSC, and HIPAA regulations.

10. IT Hygiene

    Plan N (sec) builds an up-to-date system inventory of all monitored endpoints. This system inventory contains data like installed applications, running processes, open ports, hardware and operating system information, and others. Collecting this information helps organizations optimize asset visibility and maintain good IT hygiene. Several other Plan N (sec) capabilities, such as vulnerability detection, Security Configuration Assessment, and malware detection, help protect monitored endpoints and improve IT hygiene.

11. Posture Management

    Plan N (sec) integrates with cloud platforms, collecting and aggregating security data. It alerts on discovered security risks and vulnerabilities to ensure security and compliance with regulatory standards.

12. Workload Protection

    Plan N (sec) monitors and protects workloads in cloud environments and on-premises workloads. You can integrate Plan N (sec) with cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365, and GitHub to monitor services, virtual machines, and the activities occurring on these platforms. The centralized log management of Plan N (sec) helps organizations that use these cloud platforms to adhere to regulatory requirements.
