Cyber threats. Network vulnerabilities. Human error. They add up to a continuous need to remain proactive—identifying the flaws in your data environment before an attacker can take advantage of them, and staying vigilant for suspicious activity.
Decisive Group offers a range of additional managed services which act as amplifiers to our core offerings. By implementing a diverse set of security controls, organizations can create a robust barrier against a wide range of threats. This redundancy in security measures ensures that attackers face multiple hurdles, making it more difficult to compromise data, and provides time for the organization to respond to threats before they escalate.
Security Awareness Training and Phishing Testing are pivotal elements in fortifying an organization’s human firewall. This proactive approach empowers employees with the knowledge and skills to identify, resist, and report potential security threats, turning them from the weakest link into a strong line of defense. Through comprehensive training, individuals learn to recognize the signs of phishing attempts, dubious links, and other social engineering tactics that could compromise personal and organizational data. Phishing tests, simulating real-world attacks without the risk, further reinforce these lessons, providing practical experience in spotting and avoiding cyber threats.
Most attacks against IT infrastructure leverage system vulnerabilities. While not all vulnerabilities are known, those that are known have patches created to fix them quickly after disclosure. For this reason, it is incredibly important to assess your environment on a regular basis to understand what vulnerabilities are present, and to prioritize patching them.
Even the most carefully managed environments are not fully standardized; therefore, if you want to see what vulnerabilities require patching you must know which versions of software, firmware, and OS are currently deployed. In addition, data collection must occur across all locations, including cloud instances and gear that resides with remote workers.
The Decisive Group Vulnerability management service centres around accurate discovery, and authenticated scans of your environment. Our reporting considers the value you place on particular assets and on mitigating controls in play.
Finally, because resources to perform patching are often limited, prioritized remediation plans are provided to ensure your time is well spent.
Protecting network endpoints has always been a priority. Now, with remote and hybrid work situations commonplace in many sectors, the concept of endpoints has taken on new meaning. In almost every industry, more sensitive data is now flowing to personal devices, and an increasing number of workers are taking advantage of the flexibility to work wherever they choose. More than ever, it is essential to be vigilant about what might be entering your environment through vulnerable network connections or human error.
Endpoint security solutions have undergone many changes as well. What was once simply signature based anti-virus/anti-malware protection, now leverages AI and ML to analyze behaviour and identify zero-day threats.
