Enhancing Proactive Security with AI-Red/Blue Cybersecurity Practices
TrustCSI™ 3.0 employs a proactive security approach with AI-Red/Blue Cybersecurity Practices, elevating the cybersecurity lifecycle from reactive defense to proactive protection. It introduces an advanced automated penetration testing tool that utilizes machine learning to enhance the information-gathering phase and exploit vulnerabilities concurrently. This approach significantly enhances enterprise-wide threat awareness and response efficacy by simulating real-world cyberattack and defense scenarios.
The AI-Red/Blue Cybersecurity Practices span the entire service spectrum, encompassing staff training, offensive and defensive drills, network protection solutions, security strategy, and service consultation. The Red Team conducts thorough AI-powered assessments and simulations, while the Blue Team delivers comprehensive defense services, ensuring a holistic cybersecurity approach.

It aids them in meeting current industry standards and achieving full compliance with “National Cybersecurity Exercises.”
AI-Driven Cybersecurity Framework
In the evolution of cybersecurity service frameworks, intelligence and automation are no longer optional but essential components for customers in a comprehensive manner. CITIC Telecom CPC’s AI-driven solutions and automation expedite threat identification, enrichment, hunting, containment, and remediation. By merging “Tech” capabilities with a proactive “Operational” approach, the framework minimizes opportunities for threat actors to infiltrate while enabling enterprises to respond promptly. The forward-looking and intelligent framework consists of four service pillars:
- Identify and Predict
A suite of comprehensive assessment and identification services covering systems, applications, network infrastructure, and critical assets enhances threat identification and prediction. Leveraging algorithmic power and AI alongside other enhanced capabilities, the AI Penetration Test efficiently identifies and mitigates security risks at an early application development stage while evaluating security resilience against diverse attack scenarios.
- Protect
SASE for dynamic network security, UTM, NGFW, WAF, and IPS for network and application access control, and cloud email security provide comprehensive protection for enterprises. A dedicated team of security professionals oversees incident consultation, solutions design and implementation, configuration, and ongoing device management. This holistic approach ensures continuous enhancement of customers’ security infrastructure.
- Detect
Round-the-clock managed security, reinforced by certified SOC and dual SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, and AI-enabled User and Entity Behavior Analysis, enables enterprises to promptly identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
- Respond & Recover
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Security Incident Response (IR), and Threat Hunting services reduce resolution time and human error, while cloud-based Backup and Disaster Recovery services facilitate rapid recovery and robust business continuity.
Elevating Cybersecurity Capabilities through Enhanced Dual SIEM Operations
Security is paramount for all data, not just a selection. Hence, CITIC Telecom CPC’s self-developed world-class SOCs leverage advanced technologies with Dual SIEM to revolutionize threat intelligence management by accelerating AI-driven detection and response to emerging threats. These operations offer enterprises critical insights for threat monitoring or immediate protection.
The Dual SIEM operations encompass a broad range of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) capabilities. They aggregate and correlate threat intelligence data to identify and illuminate potential threats, enhance search speed, elevate security visibility, and optimize cost management.
Future-proofing Cybersecurity and Compliance with SOC-as-a-Service at its Core
The latest SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS) model enables enterprises to benefit from cost-effective, SOC-managed security capabilities through various SOCaaS service offerings. Backed by cutting-edge security technologies, a dedicated team of experts monitors, detects, and responds to threats round-the-clock, eliminating the need for building and staffing an in-house SOC.
CITIC Telecom CPC’s “SOCaaS” approach delivers unparalleled security analytics and monitoring capabilities through self-deployed and managed 24×7 SOCs in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. These fully managed SOCs adopt a “global-local” strategy with certified professional expertise to provide tailored security solutions globally, ensuring operational security and offering customers peace of mind.
