In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations face many cyber threats that severely impact operations, data integrity and reputation. As bad actors continually evolve their tactics, we advance our own capabilities to help you stay vigilant.

Our cybersecurity consulting services fortify defenses across:

Ransomware

The sophistication of ransomware and the social engineering used to deploy it is becoming increasingly complex and successful.

Phishing

Email is one of the oldest networking technologies still in use – and it continues to be one of the most prominent security concerns.

Staffing Obstacles

Recruiting and retaining top-tier IT security talent continues to be a challenge across all industries.

Cloud & IoT Security

Businesses are rapidly deploying these always-on technologies. The need for proper security measures and configurations are essential.

Web Application Attacks

These breaches and incidents tend to be largely driven by attacks against credentials, with attackers leveraging those credentials to access critical resources.

Remote & Hybrid Security

Securing today’s workforce requires many components including IAM, MFA, antivirus, secure data transmittal, and secure employee devices.

AI-Powered Attacks

AI trolls are being used to exploit vulnerabilities in threat detection models and attack victim networks.

Open-Source Vulnerabilities

The use of open-source software is nearly everywhere, with critical vulnerabilities found in the majority of open-source code bases.

Securing Complex Ecosystems

Typical supply chains include a broad array of suppliers and partners sharing sensitive data in many formats. Even the smallest firm in your network must have adequate controls to safeguard your data.

State-Sponsored Cyber Attack

State-sponsored attacks against enterprises with the goal of financial gain include stealing cryptocurrencies and intellectual property and crippling infrastructure.

Identity Access Management (IAM) Assessment

Modern Identity Access Management processes and technology is a key component of an effective Cybersecurity posture.

Our consultants are experts at assessing your current state, quantifying risks, and creating a mitigation and improvement roadmap that addresses key IAM functions such as user provisioning, de-provisioning, and access privileges.

IAM assessments are an effective approach to lowering your overall risk profile and can lead to lower cyber insurance rates.

CLIENT STORY

Higher Security Leads to Lower Costs in Healthcare

A major healthcare organization needed a partner to help navigate the complex and costly world of HIPAA compliance.

The organization engaged us to conduct a HIPAA risk assessment, but we soon found deeper ways to add value to their security initiatives. Under our guidance, the healthcare provider embarked on a comprehensive HITRUST certification roadmap and implemented critical security controls, ongoing training and education, and continuous improvement efforts.

The client has significantly improved their security posture, enhanced their reputation and reduced their risk and liability, leading to a 25% reduction in their cyber insurance premiums.
