We can help you develop a reference architecture that paves the way for implementing good security practices across building blocks such as user, endpoint, data, application, platform, network and physical infrastructure
The average data breach in 2021 cost £3.2m and took 287 days to identify and contain (IBM), while 57% of cyber victims disclosed that their breach was directly attributed to an unpatched vulnerability in their systems (Ponemon Research). While we all like to think that it will never happen to us, the continual exposure of networks and services means it is increasingly common for organisations to be successfully infiltrated.
Our testing services ensure your business is hardened against malicious attacks, conduct remote exploitation using common social engineering techniques such as phishing, telephone attacks and human manipulation to gather information and infiltrate systems
From poor configuration, legacy systems which fall outside of vendor support and neglect, to ineffective security policies and a lack of investment in security awareness or training, there are many reasons why an organisation may become more susceptible to attack over time. Our security practitioners are able to develop solutions that cover everything from identity and access management, patching and firmware updates, security operations and business continuity management, to IT assurance and compliance
Even the most well-intentioned and resourced enterprise can only remediate a small proportion of vulnerabilities found. This is because they often lack the skills and experience to implement the changes needed, hindered too by budget, projects and other higher priority activities. Tracking remediation efforts can often lead to the list remaining static or even growing, as new exploits are discovered faster than existing ones are overcome. And when everything is a priority and remediation deadlines are looming, staff find themselves working ineffectively, jumping from case to case and problem to problem, often without knowing if they are working on the right thing.
With threats coming from multiple directions, including attacks on your data centre and endpoint devices and persistent threats which can remain undetected for long periods, it is important to have a robust security strategy, backed by tools that can provide heterogeneous coverage, across a wide range of systems.
We look at your business holistically, identifying the additional security controls that might be needed (e.g. anti-virus or next-generation firewalls), alongside where they should be placed to best protect your employees, data and services. We work with security and compliance teams, system owners and administrators to define and implement the right course of action, from introducing a comprehensive patching regime to enforcing policies to strengthen authentication
