Cybersecurity Integrated into our unique solutions and cloud services 

Introduction

LAB³ is dedicated to ensuring modern and robust cybersecurity protocols across our business. We deploy Microsoft Sentinel and Defender across everything we do, and we are committed to ensuring continuous improvement in the way we deliver services and solutions for our clients.

Significantly, LAB³ is also a leader in developing modern cybersecurity solutions based in the cloud, matching the speed of hackers in today’s cloud world.

LAB³’s stringent approach to cybersecurity is verified both by external authorities through regular rigorous audits, and our leadership with product development is reflected by our membership of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). At any time, our clients and prospective clients can apply to view our security certifications and audited controls through the LAB³ Trust Center.

Expanding on the above, we have written three blogs to more fully explain our modern approach to cybersecurity and as further reassurance of our commitment.

This blog, Part Three, explains how our unique services and product offerings are secure by design.

Our first blog, Part One, covers why LAB³ maintains our ISO 27001 certification. The second blog, Part Two, covers our IRAP to PROTECTED status, a tag which Australian government organisations now look for as a must-have in a technology provider. Since we comply with the Australian ISM, we are also aligned with the controls for NZISM.

Diving into Part Three:

Solutions Secure By Design 

At LAB³, we take cybersecurity seriously, integrating it into every aspect of our services including the design of our unique solutions – Security Insight, Bedrock, and our Security Operations Centre (SOC).  

Having solutions secure by design sets us apart as a cloud services provider. Our tools and services not only enhance security measures and response time but this approach also ensures compliance with top standards like ISO 27001 and IRAP. 

Security Insight: Advanced Threat Detection and Response  

Using automation, LAB³’s Security Insight leverages Microsoft Sentinel to deliver comprehensive security information and event management (SIEM) capabilities. It includes features such as automated deployments, integration with existing IT operation tools, and accelerated log ingestion from hybrid environments. This service allows us to provide rapid detection and response to threats, ensuring that our clients remain secure and compliant.  

Security Insight supports a proactive approach to cybersecurity by enabling continuous monitoring, automated incident response through SOAR integrations, and detailed analytics via customisable dashboards and workbooks. By utilising LAB³’s extensive IP library, we can deploy and manage these solutions efficiently, providing a robust defense against cyber threats.  

Bedrock: Secure and Scalable Azure Landing Zones 

LAB³’s Bedrock platform offers a fast, secure, and structured way to establish an automated Azure platform designed to scale. Bedrock is designed with security in mind, incorporating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices to ensure consistent and secure deployment of cloud environments. This solution supports DevOps practices, enabling rapid, repeatable, and reliable deployment of infrastructure and applications.  

Bedrock’s integration with security tools ensures that every aspect of your cloud environment is protected. It includes features like patching, network connectivity, backups, and monitoring patterns, which collectively enhance the security and efficiency of your operations. By using Bedrock, organisations can achieve a high level of security and compliance while benefiting from the scalability and flexibility of the cloud.  

Security Operations Centre (SOC): 24/7 Expert Monitoring  

The LAB³ SOC provides round-the-clock security monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence. Staffed by Microsoft-recognised security experts and leveraging Microsoft Sentinel, the SOC is designed to function as an extension of your organisation’s security team. This ensures that your organisation benefits from continuous threat detection and mitigation, minimising the risk of cyber incidents.  

The SOC’s capabilities include real-time analysis and response, threat intelligence, security platform management, and automated security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR). These services enable us to provide a comprehensive security solution that meets the highest standards, including IRAP and ISO 27001. 

LAB³ has also achieved Microsoft verified Managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution status for our SOC.

Why LAB³ IP safeguards against evolving threats in the era of AI  

LAB³ safeguards our clients by using AI and automation to develop secure cloud solutions, building on Microsoft’s standard offerings, and countering the use of AI by hackers, matching the speed of evolving threats.  

Our innovation expertise is reflected by our membership of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) and their assessment of our SOC offering. 

LAB³’s Security Insight, Bedrock, and SOC solutions offer unparalleled security and compliance, setting us apart from competitors. These services not only protect the data and operations of our clients, but also enable clients to innovate and grow securely in the cloud.
