This allows much more flexibility and rapid reaction to new threats and attack vectors as we do not have to wait for updates and patches – we do them ourselves immediately.

• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls

• Incident management approach: We have defined process of incident response and an incident response team whose responsibilities include: Analysis of the security issue risk (based on Severity Matrix and CVSS), remediation and recommendation. SLA of handling the issue according to the risk level. In case the decision is to fix, the fix is like any standard feature\bug development, including validation (QA) and automation. Security bulletin - in case a security issue found risky, and requires patch, we have a mechanism of publishing "security bulleting" to our customers. This bulletin contains explanation of the issue, and mitigation steps (including patch if needed).
