End to End Information Security Solutions to Manage Business Risk from Cyber Attacks
Preventing data and code in business-critical software (both in use and development) from being stolen or hijacked, such as through penetration testing and encryption.
Companies are keen on getting the levels of their application security high, as most successful breaches target vulnerabilities at the application level. Application security is the process of developing, adding, and testing security features within applications, all through their life-cycle – that would prevent security vulnerabilities. It’s an essential element of IT security solutions to ensure comprehensive cybersecurity services.
While most work around application security happens at the development stages of the application, the practice also includes rigorous testing before the deployment of the application.
All logs, data, and telemetry will be ingested into the Finesse SOC Platform from as many relevant sources as feasible. With more data, enterprises will have a complete and accurate picture of what’s happening, allowing them to identify genuinely suspicious or malicious activities for further investigation.
Our platform takes advantage of each of the following log sources and data types to deliver robust cybersecurity services:
IoT security is the technology segment focused on safeguarding connected devices and networks in the Internet of Things (IoT). Many high-profile incidents where a common IoT device was used to infiltrate and attack the larger network have drawn attention to the need for IoT security. Systems like connected sensors inside printers and CCTV cameras let you stream content over the Internet.
Cyber security is becoming a priority in industrial IT and Operational Technology (OT) as connectivity to external networks grows and attacks on Operational Technology increase. However, many companies are still not aware of cyberattacks’ threats to their OT assets. The segregated worlds of Information Technology and Operational Technology rapidly converge. Organizations are facing critical questions about their security investments regarding Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Securing internal networks against unauthorized access, with tools like remote access management and two-factor authentication (2FA).
Network security is the set of rules and configurations designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of your computer networks and data. Including both hardware and software technologies, network security prevents cyberattacks from entering and spreading through your network.
Secure access service edge, or SASE (pronounced “sassy”), is an emerging cybersecurity concept that Gartner described in the August 2019 report The Future of Network Security in the Cloud. SASE is the convergence of wide-area networking, or WAN, and network security services like CASB, FWaaS Firewall as a Service and Zero Trust, into a single, cloud-delivered service model.
Ensuring that the structures and facilities you rely on, such as electrical grids and data centres, are access-controlled and guarded against physical harm or disruption.
Infrastructure security is the security provided to protect critical infrastructures – such as electrical grids, water systems, hospitals, bridges, transport hubs, and power plants. It ensures all these critical infrastructures are access-controlled and guarded against physical harm or disruption.
Operational security is a risk management process that prevents sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. Operational security encourages the team to put themselves into the shoes of a cybercriminal and discover potential threats and vulnerabilities in their organization’s processes.
Then, looking from a third-party’s perspective, they will be able to better implement or build IT security solutions that thwart those cyberattacks attempts.
Teaching employees and customers best practices for recognizing and avoiding cyber threats, such as malware and phishing attacks.
The biggest risk to an organization’s information security effort is the inaction of employees. Employees need to be empowered with knowledge on how they can help secure the company’s data from cybercriminals. This can be done by training employees of the best practices they need to follow, and how they can help identify and report common security threats like malware and phishing attacks. Customers also need to be educated on how they can keep their security to not expose themselves and the company to cyberattacks.
There are many types of cyber threats — malicious acts that threaten to damage or steal data, or to otherwise disrupt workloads and services. No matter the type or the origin, cyberthreats are a serious hazard to business health and operations. Some of the more common variations include:
Hacking, Ransomware, Phishing, Spoofing, Malware, Spamming
A Cybersecurity threat is a threat of malicious attack to gain access to a network, steal confidential information, corrupt data, or disrupt organization services. Unfortunately, cyber threats are real, and anyone can be a target to cyberattacks. Hence, cyber security services are essential to mitigate these risks.
Malware is catch-all term for all software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer, server, or computer network. The most common malwares include viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, and scareware.
Phishing is a cybercrime, where an attacker sends a fraudulent (‘spoofed’) message to trick the victim into revealing sensitive information to the attacker. Most often, criminals impersonate legitimate organizations via email, telephone, advertisements and get the victim’s sensitive information, which they can later use for their own gains.
Ransomware is a type of malware, that encrypts the victim’s file. The attacker then threatens to perpetually block access or publish the victim’s data, unless a ransom is paid.
The main two ways of protection against malware is through: like a good antivirus, it provides a layer of protection for your computer or network. Personal vigilance – employees in your organization need to be made aware of emails, that look like legitimate emails, but contain links that download malware. By not clicking on these, but informing the relevant teams, employees can play a huge role in securing their organization data.
Ransomware being part of malwares and given most of the spread of malware happens through emails, personal vigilance will be key to reducing the threat of ransomware attacks. A good spam email filter along with protective tools used for malware should also help things.
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks can happen to anyone. First and foremost, an organization should develop a robust defence strategy to minimize the impact on the business. Leveraging the cloud, understanding the warning signs, and building a secure network architecture goes a long way in not causing huge financial losses to the business.
SQL injection (SQLI) is a code-injection technique used to attack data-driven applications. Malicious SQL statements are inserted into the entry field, which can then attack the databases that processes these entries. Unlike other attacks, an SQL injection attack is easily avoidable by instructing developers not to accept such inputs that can cause the databases /infrastructure.
Man-in-the-middle attack protection (MITM) attack is a cybercrime where an attacker intercepts communication between two parties, either to eavesdrop (steal login credentials), or to modify information between the two parties (sabotage communications or corrupt data). An MITM can be avoided by strong WEP/WAP encryption on access points, creating VPNs, forcing HTTPS, and implementing zero-trust authentication methods across the organization.
