Overview
Cybercrime has increased more than 600% since 2020, affecting nearly every industry, and will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 (Cybercrime Magazine). More than half of businesses do not survive after an attack. It is our mission to help you to protect your digital assets. This is a fast-moving field that requires constant vigilance.
We provide a wide range of services to protect your systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. We can help with any operating system, platform, or device. Our goal is to proactively protect your assets and help you respond effectively in the event of a security incident.
Security Risk Assessments
We systematically identify and evaluate potential security risks to your business assets, information, systems, and infrastructure. It involves specifying the assets that need to be protected, determining the threats that could compromise them, and assessing the likelihood and impact of those threats. This will help you to understand your vulnerabilities and prioritize your security efforts.
Our assessment will cover physical security, network security, data security, and business continuity planning. From the assessment results, we will have a report that contains a detailed analysis of your business security posture, including identified vulnerabilities and recommended controls to mitigate the risks. This report is a tool that will help your business make informed decisions about your security strategy, budget, and resource allocation. This will show the way forward to protect your business and prevent attacks.
Penetration Testing
This is another piece of the puzzle of your cyber security plan. Penetration testing (pen testing) is a simulation exercise to evaluate the security of your systems. This testing will identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. Pen testing can be performed on various types of systems, such as web applications, networks, mobile devices, IoT devices, and others. It can also be performed using different methodologies. From the results, we will have a report containing a detailed analysis of the vulnerabilities found and recommendations for remediation. It is the best way to find where your vulnerabilities are and how to deal with them.
Ransomware Monitoring and Remediation
Ransomware is a type of malware that captures and encrypts files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. Ransomware attacks in the US increased by 185% just in the first six months of 2021 (Sonic Wall). We’ve also seen a rise in ransom demands. From 2020 to 2021, the average cost of ransomware remediation increased by 143% (Sophos).
How long could your business be down if hit by ransomware, and what may be the cost? Every hour of lost productivity could potentially cost your business thousands of dollars or more. We can help you get systems in place to monitor your network for potential attacks and determine how to respond and recover as quickly as possible. Ransomware monitoring can detect signs of a ransomware attack, such as the presence of malicious files or abnormal network activity. Ransomware remediation involves restoring the affected systems to a known good state, which may include restoring from backups, re-imaging systems, or rebuilding servers. It also includes reviewing and updating the organization’s security posture to prevent future attacks.
It’s crucial to have a well-defined incident response plan and regular backups in place to mitigate the impact of a ransomware attack and speed up the recovery process. Additionally, cybersecurity awareness training for employees is a must to prevent human errors and social engineering tactics used by attackers.
Cybersecurity Consulting
Once we determine your security risks and vulnerabilities, we can provide recommendations for specific security technologies to meet your needs. Together we can create a plan for your business based on compliance requirements for your industry and your specific security needs.
You’ve seen the statistics. If your network hasn’t experienced a threat yet, that time will come. Losing your data and ability to do business can be catastrophic. Having a plan can help mitigate the risks to be better prepared. Our mission is to help your company proactively protect against cyber threats and respond effectively in the event of a security incident.
Incident Response Plans
An incident response plan (IRP) is a documented process for handling and managing a security incident. It outlines the steps your business should take before, during, and after an incident. This plan typically includes procedures for communicating, identifying, containing, and mitigating incidents. An IRP should also include incident response teams and their roles, incident escalation procedures, and post-incident recovery procedures. An IRP’s goal is to minimize an incident’s impact and get your business back to normal operations as quickly as possible.
Microsoft O365 hardening
One of the main benefits of cloud services – accessibility – is also one of the vulnerabilities. Therefore, we want to have security in place that will balance this accessibility with asset protection. Microsoft Office 365 (O365) hardening is securing O365 environments by implementing various security measures to prevent unauthorized access, data, breaches, and other cyber threats.
Overall, hardening O365 requires a multi-layered approach that includes technical and administrative controls and a robust incident response plan. Working with experienced security professionals who can help you identify and mitigate risks to your O365 environment is essential.
