Our cybersecurity strategy is designed using proven frameworks and methodologies to ensure robust protection and compliance across all systems:
- Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA): Continuous verification and least-privilege access.
- MITRE ATT&CK Framework: Proactive threat detection and response planning.
- Risk-Based Approach: Assess vulnerabilities and focus resources where they are needed most.
- Compliance & Regulation: Ensure adherence to global security standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and others.
1. Cybersecurity Strategy & Risk Management
Establish a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy aligned with business goals, risks, and compliance requirements.
- Cybersecurity Governance: Define roles and responsibilities to oversee and manage security posture.
- Risk Assessments: Identify, assess, and mitigate risks across assets including infrastructure, networks, and data.
- Threat Modeling: Use STRIDE or DREAD methodologies to assess vulnerabilities.
- Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery: Develop plans to ensure operations during and after incidents.
2. Threat Intelligence & Incident Response
Utilize proactive threat intelligence and implement incident response strategies to defend against emerging threats.
- Threat Intelligence: Integrate global threat intelligence feeds (ISACs, STIX/TAXII) for real-time threat updates.
- Security Operations Center (SOC): Continuous monitoring to detect and respond to threats.
- Incident Response & Forensics: Define and implement Incident Response Plans (IRPs) and conduct forensic investigations.
- Post-Incident Reviews: Analyze and adapt strategies based on lessons learned.
3. Compliance and Audit
Ensure your organization is compliant with industry-specific regulations, standards, and best practices, while identifying vulnerabilities and compliance gaps through audits.
- Regulatory Compliance Audits: Perform audits and gap analyses for GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CCM, and more.
- Network Vulnerability Scanning: Identify security weaknesses in your network infrastructure.
- Network Configuration Audit: Assess your current network configuration for best practices and compliance.
- Security and Privacy Assessments: Ensure compliance with international data protection regulations.
- Automated Compliance Management: Use tools to track, monitor, and report compliance across infrastructures.
4. Network Security
Implement multi-layered defense strategies to secure networks from external and internal threats.
- Firewall Management: Control traffic and block unauthorized access.
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Monitor and prevent malicious network activity.
- Network Segmentation: Segment networks to minimize exposure and limit lateral movement.
- Secure VPN: Design secure connections for remote users.
- Secure Access Service Edge (SASE): Combine networking and security services to secure cloud traffic.
5. Data Security
Protect sensitive data across all storage locations and ensure secure data handling and transmission.
- Data Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both at rest and in transit.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevent unauthorized access or sharing of sensitive data.
- Backup & Disaster Recovery: Implement secure backup solutions and disaster recovery planning.
- Data Masking: Protect sensitive information through obfuscation techniques.
6. Application Security
Ensure secure software development and protect applications from vulnerabilities and attacks.
- Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Implement security practices throughout the development cycle.
- Static & Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST): Identify vulnerabilities within the source code and running application.
- Web Application Firewalls (WAF): Protect web applications from threats like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF.
7. Third-Party Risk Management
Manage risks posed by third-party vendors and partners through effective security assessment and monitoring.
- Vendor Risk Assessment: Evaluate the security posture of third-party vendors and service providers.
- Third-Party Audits: Conduct audits to ensure third-party vendors meet your security and compliance requirements.
- Continuous Monitoring: Monitor third-party access and activities to detect potential risks early.
- Contractual Security Clauses: Implement security clauses in vendor contracts to enforce compliance and mitigate risks.
8. Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Control access and ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive systems and data.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Simplify user authentication.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhance security.
- Privileged Access Management (PAM): Secure privileged accounts.
9. Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Management
Identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them with penetration testing and vulnerability scanning services.
- External & Internal Penetration Testing
- Vulnerability Scanning and Remediation
- Red Team/Blue Team Exercises to test defenses
10. Security Monitoring & SIEM
Continuous monitoring and data collection to enable early threat detection and rapid response.
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
- Real-time Monitoring & Automated Alerts
- Threat Detection & Response Automation
11. Employee Security Awareness Training
Mitigate human error with training programs to educate employees on best practices, phishing, and security hygiene.
- Phishing Simulation & Training
- Cyber Hygiene Education
- Ongoing Security Awareness Programs
