Proactive Cybersecurity Security for a Connected World
Anticipate and address complex risks, protect critical assets and build resiliency with detailed cybersecurity services.
REDEUCE CYBER RISK AND BUILD RESILIENCE
Applying Cybersecurity Services for Business Resilience
Organizations can use business imperatives to drive programs by embracing cyber resilience strategic design principles – focusing on common critical assets, architecting for adaptability, reducing attack surfaces, assuming compromised resources and preparing for adversaries to evolve. We apply authoritative best practices, deep resident expertise, and a network of trusted partners to help organizations of all sizes position their cybersecurity programs for business resiliency. Our approach focuses not just on anticipating and withstanding attacks, but also on preparing for attack recovery. By focusing on cyber resilience, we ensure that your cyber defenses are aligned to business priorities, enabling you to sustain critical operations notwithstanding active threats.

FORSIGHT
Anticipating Cyber Risk
In today’s digital landscape, organizations are facing increasingly disruptive and sophisticated cyber attacks. Companies must build and sustain high performing cybersecurity programs to counter these threats to their enterprises.
The effectiveness of cybersecurity services lies in three key elements: transparency, accuracy and precision. By incorporating these building blocks, organizations can better protect their systems, manage risk and mitigate the devastating financial, operational, reputational and regulatory effects of cyber threats.
Transparent
It is essential to build cybersecurity programs that are grounded in and traceable to authoritative frameworks. This increases security traceability and repeatability and avoids the pitfalls of “black-box” findings.
Accurate
Accuracy means mapping likely threats to specific threat-informed defenses. It’s crucial to validate that these countermeasures are operating as intended to protect against potential cyber attacks.
Precise
Precision involves a fine-grain understanding of exactly where defenses are applied across the environment. This drives risk-informed implementation and testing to ensure comprehensive attack surface coverage against cyber threats.
IMPACTS
Building Cybersecurity "Muscle"
Cybers risks are increasingly intertwined with physical security, trust and safety impacts as well as the rapidly changing geopolitical and regulatory environment. We regularly combine cybersecurity services with parallel physical security or geopolitical/regulatory expertise to deliver integrated risk-informed defense. Key elements include:
Apply an offense-informed defense analysis based on authoritative threat frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK), to assess technology environments from the mindset of an adversary.
Reflect the dynamic nature of inherent business risk in program design and account for implementation risks so organizations avoid mistakes as they build their programs.
Prioritize preventive and detective measures based on risk and assume that an incident will happen; design for resiliency.
Build in continuous validation capabilities to ensure effective security performance over time.
