Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated every day, with hackers and cybercriminals using advanced techniques to breach organization's defenses. The costs of cybercrime are expected to exceed $9.5 trillion globally in 2024. This alarming threat landscape means all organizations must take proactive steps to assess and mitigate cyber risks.
At Trustelements, we provide services to help clients understand their cyber risk exposure and take actionable measures to increase resilience. By leveraging our team's expertise in identifying vulnerabilities, prioritizing risks, and enacting remediation plans, organizations can better protect themselves in today's digital world.
Conduct Risk Assessments to Uncover Exposures
The first step is gaining visibility over your potential weak spots through cyber risk assessments. This involves examining your entire digital infrastructure, policies, employee training, third-party connections, and incident response plans to pinpoint gaps. Areas we analyze include:
- Network security defenses - We scan for unpatched systems, misconfigurations, risky ports, and services, lack of segmentation, inadequate firewalls, and more.
- Endpoint protection (Cloud) - Are all devices properly secured in the cloud with encryption and multi-factor authentication?
- Access controls and identity management - Reviewing improper permissions/privileges, password problems, remote access methods, and identity lifecycle.
- Data practices - Finding unprotected sensitive data, improper data handling, lack of logging/monitoring, and insufficient backups.
Armed with detailed visibility into vulnerabilities, we quantify and prioritize risks using a robust risk formula that examines likelihood, impact, and other key factors. This allows you to focus on fixing the most pressing risks first.
Execute Targeted Remediation Measures
Once critical risks are highlighted, we work with you to enact tactical remediation plans that build immediate resilience. Common steps include:
- Installing security patches, updates, and configurations to fix known vulnerabilities.
- Strengthening network perimeter defences with next-gen firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, web application firewalls, and endpoint detection & response (EDR).
- Securing endpoints with encryption, stronger access controls, and anti-malware tools.
- Enhancing identity and access management procedures around provisioning/de-provisioning, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, privileged access, etc.
- Building zero trust access architectures to limit lateral movement and enforce least privilege access.
- Improving data security via classification schemes, access restrictions, rights management, and robust backups.
- Upgrading incident response with improved monitoring, playbook training, tabletop exercises, and threat hunting.
- Conducting cybersecurity training to change risky employee behaviors.
- Vetting and continuously monitoring third parties to ensure they meet security standards.
We also provide guidance on building a resilient cybersecurity framework over the long term, including investing in skilled staff, keeping programs aligned to best practice standards like NIST, and planning for future improvements.
Gain Real Cyber Resilience
At Trustelements, our ultimate goal is to give organizations real-world cyber resilience to match today's threats. We move beyond just identifying compliance gaps or manual penetration testing. Our cloud-based Cyber Risk Quantification platform delivers continuous visibility with automatic asset discovery, risk assessments, threat modeling, and mitigation tracking. This allows you to achieve resilience rapidly.
