Many organizations fall victim to cybercrime because they think that they’re already being protected with their antiquated solutions and that their existing service providers offerings have them covered or simply compliance and security are not a high priority for them. 43% of SMBs fall victim to cybercrime because they think they’re not a target. For your organization to run smoothly, both compliance and security are critical. While compliance ensures that your organization stays within the bounds of industry or government laws/regulations, security ensures that your organization's integrity and vital data are safeguarded. Our expertise and knowledge can take a considerable load off your shoulders and peace of mind as you factor security compliance into your organization’s cybersecurity posture.
As the saying goes – you don’t know what you don’t know until you know. And what you don’t know can hurt your business. Discover and let us help you fix misconfigurations, outdated operating systems, and other easy-to-overlook technical issues that make your business vulnerable to threat actors.
With a risk assessment, you can measure your security posture against various internal and digital threats and determine how equipped you are to deal with these risks. When you perform a security risk assessment you can proactively:
Identify vulnerabilities: A risk assessment helps you identify which part of your digital environment is relatively weak against various security threats. You can identify which systems are likely to be targeted by attackers and incorporate measures to strengthen these systems. Without the information presented by your risk assessment report, you don’t stand much chance of improving your digital security posture against various vulnerabilities.
Review and bolster security controls: In most cases, security incidents occur due to a lack of controls in the process. For instance, without proper cybersecurity awareness training and best practices training, employees are unlikely to follow security protocols on their own, which could result in losses due to human errors. Based on the risk assessment, you can upgrade your securities and incorporate preventive measures against various risks.
Track and quantify risks: To effectively manage various risks, you need to know their effect on your business. With a risk assessment, you can quantify these risks by identifying the potential losses posed by various threats. This helps you incorporate necessary risk-mitigation strategies to prevent exposure.
Phishing emails are fake messages designed to lure people into clicking on dangerous links, sending sensitive information, or transferring money. Clicking on infected links can result in ransomware, data loss, unauthorized access of sensitive or protected data, or financial theft. ‘Phishing’ generally refers to messages broadcast to a wide audience, such as emails stating that your bank credentials need to be updated, you have underpaid your taxes, or your credit cards are blocked. ‘Spear-Phishing’ messages are personalized messages targeted at individuals, like HR and finance department managers and staff, often from ‘the CEO’ or someone else in authority. These messages ask for sensitive information, such as payroll records, to be sent, or for money to be transferred. Spear-phishing hackers often use information about the sender, that they find on a corporate website or in social media, to gain the recipient’s trust.
Test simulations that mimic real-life phishing and business email compromise attacks can be launched as often as desired and automatically staggered to prevent employees from receiving the emails all at the same time. Our training platform consists of built-in phishing training and comes with the option of letting your organization create its own training courses and upload/deploy them internally. This can include, but is not limited to, employee safety, conduct (anti-harassment) and more. It could even be used for human resources (HR) training such as employee onboarding, policy training, etc.
Our service is designed to help both public and private sector organizations detect and mitigate cyberthreats that leverage stolen email addresses and passwords. Our solution leverages a combination of human and artificial intelligence that scours botnets, criminal chat rooms, blogs, websites and bulletin boards, peer-to-peer networks, forums, private networks and other black- market sites 24/7, 365 days a year, to identify stolen credentials and other personally identifiable information (PII)
Our solution focuses on cyberthreats that are specific to our clients’ environments. We monitor the dark web and the criminal hacker underground for exposure of our clients’ credentials to malicious individuals. We accomplish this by looking specifically for our clients’ top-level email domains. When a credential is identified, we harvest it. While we harvest data from typical hacker sites like Pastebin, a lot of our data originates from sites that require credibility or a membership within the hacker community to enter. To that end, we monitor over 500 distinct internet relay chatroom (IRC) channels, 600,000 private websites, 600 Twitter feeds and execute 10,000 refined queries daily.
Traditional perimeter-based IT security defenses that protect an organization’s “trusted” internal network from “untrusted” external networks are failing. The network perimeter has all but disappeared with the proliferation of endpoints, including desktop and laptop PCs, smartphones and tablets, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the rapid adoption of remote work from home (WFH) and work from anywhere (WFA) models due to the global pandemic. As a result, threat actors are breaching network security controls and bypassing endpoint protections with ease. This modern threat landscape is driving many organizations to adopt a Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity. Security model is based on the concept of “never trust, always verify.” That is, no user, device, or resource (including users, applications, services, databases, and so on) is inherently “trusted” simply because it is “on the network.” Instead, the identity of every user, device, and resource must be positively verified every time it connects to the network and granted only the minimum level of permissions necessary to perform an authorized function for a limited period of time.
Without knowing the devices on the network, it is not possible to know your IT network’s health. Keeping track of all the computers, mobile phones, printers and servers on a growing business’ network is challenging. However, if you do not constantly monitor your network, cybercriminals can rush to exploit it. Proper assessment is essential to manage the risks and threats to your network. By automating network discovery, you can detect all the devices on your network and document vital statistics from a central location. Implementing network discovery and documentation can be simple, and we can help. With our effective solution, you can minimize risks by knowing your network inside out.
Cybersecurity consultants work hard to help safeguard businesses from cyber-attacks. Technology alone is not enough to keep a business safe if the company does not know how to use it properly. By working with a cybersecurity consultant, businesses can take the necessary precautions to protect and recover sensitive data. Cybersecurity consultants can recommend a variety of security measures to maintain security, such as antivirus software, encryption, firewalls, password protection, and backups and monitoring.
We understand that no two business are alike, even within the same industry. That is why we provide comprehensive remediation plans that are customized to address the specific needs or risks of your business.
Having a reliable backup solution is critical for any business. However, setting up and maintaining a backup system can be time-consuming and complex. We can help take care of your backup needs, ensuring your backup solutions work as promised and can restore your data on demand, so you can focus on running your business.
While cybersecurity primarily aims at blocking nefarious cyber players from attacking your network, cyber resilience is more about planning, defending, responding to and recovering quickly from a cyberattack. Endpoint protection, email security, network security, backup and data recovery, identity and access management and a host of other critical solutions together fuel a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy.
Choosing the wrong endpoint security solution can leave your endpoints vulnerable to threats and impede, or undo, the significant work that has gone into securing the network. Your endpoint security solution should secure all endpoints continuously, as well as bring additional capabilities to other parts of the organization and bolster your overall network security posture overall.
