We help businesses stay secure by delivering expert guidance, cutting-edge security solutions, and 24/7 protection.
1. Identify
Understand your assets, risks, and vulnerabilities to build a strong security foundation. This includes asset management, risk assessments, and compliance requirements.
2. Protect
Implement safeguards to defend against cyber threats. This includes access controls, encryption, security awareness training, and endpoint protection.
3. Detect
Continuously monitor systems for potential threats or unauthorized activity. This involves threat detection tools, anomaly analysis, and security event monitoring.
4. Respond
Take immediate action to contain and mitigate cybersecurity incidents. This includes incident response planning, forensic analysis, and communication strategies.
5. Recover
Restore systems, data, and operations after a security event. This involves backup recovery, business continuity planning, and post-incident improvements.
Basic security hygiene still protects against 99% of attacks.
