Threat Detection & Monitoring
How Tiquo detects, prevents, and responds to security threats
Threat Detection & Monitoring
Tiquo employs a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to identifying and mitigating threats before they can impact your business.
Threat Protection
DDoS Protection
Tiquo protects the platform against L3, L4, and L7 DDoS attacks to ensure stable and resilient availability.
| Layer | Attack Types Protected |
|---|---|
| Layer 3 (Network) | ICMP floods, IP fragmentation |
| Layer 4 (Transport) | SYN floods, UDP floods |
| Layer 7 (Application) | HTTP floods, slowloris, API abuse |
Intelligent Firewall
Our firewall analyses hundreds of signals and behavioural patterns to fingerprint requests:
Request Analysis
Deep inspection of request patterns and payloads
Behavioural Patterns
Track normal vs anomalous traffic patterns
Automatic Challenges
Challenge suspicious traffic before blocking
Real-Time Blocking
Instantly block confirmed malicious traffic
Bot Protection
Our bot protection ruleset filters out automated threats while still allowing legitimate bot traffic:
| Traffic Type | Handling |
|---|---|
| Known Good Bots | Allowed (search engines, monitoring) |
| Suspicious Bots | Challenged |
| Malicious Bots | Blocked |
| Credential Stuffing | Blocked + rate limited |
Brute-Force Protection
Staff accounts are safeguarded from brute-force attacks through:
- Smart lockouts — Temporary account locks after failed attempts
- Enforced cooldown periods — Progressive delays between attempts
- IP-based rate limiting — Prevent distributed attacks
Invisible CAPTCHA
We use invisible CAPTCHAs that:
- Continuously analyse user behaviour
- Assign risk scores in real-time
- Block abusive traffic without interrupting real users
- Require no user interaction for legitimate traffic
Our approach ensures security without degrading user experience.
Proactive Testing & Continuous Monitoring
Penetration Testing
We conduct automated and manual penetration testing across all systems:
| Scope | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Public-Facing Systems | Continuous + periodic deep testing |
| Internal Systems | Periodic testing |
| API Endpoints | Continuous automated testing |
| Authentication Flows | Regular security assessments |
Security Lifecycle
Our comprehensive security lifecycle includes:
Monitoring & Detection
24/7 Monitoring
Round-the-clock monitoring of all systems and services
Anomaly Detection
ML-powered detection of unusual patterns and behaviours
Centralised Logging
All events logged and analysed for security insights
Alerting
Immediate alerts for security-relevant events
Incident Response
Response Process
In the event of a security incident, Tiquo follows a structured response process:
- Detection — Automated systems detect potential incidents
- Triage — Security team assesses severity and impact
- Containment — Immediate actions to limit damage
- Investigation — Root cause analysis and evidence collection
- Remediation — Fix vulnerabilities and restore services
- Communication — Notify affected parties as required
- Review — Post-incident review and lessons learned
Communication
We commit to transparent communication with customers in the event of any security incident that may affect their data, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Continuous Improvement
Our security program is continuously evolving:
| Activity | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Regular Audits | Third-party validation of security controls |
| Lessons Learned | Incorporate findings from incidents and tests |
| Industry Monitoring | Track emerging threats and best practices |
| Framework Updates | Stay current with security standards |
This continuous testing framework allows us to detect issues early, maintain strong security hygiene, and uphold the trust of our users.
