A rapidly growing company, but still small enough for that personal touch you only get from really great partnerships. We help you keep your business secure in the cyber world, ensuring you can continue operating without any downtime.
The idea behind ethical hacking is to use a variety of tools, automated and manual, to take a very thorough look at your current IT business networks and their associated infrastructure, looking for any security issues as we go.
This information can be used to identify and grade weaknesses in either the equipment deployed, or the way its been set up, allowing for recommendations on where improvements should be made and how to go about it.
Ideally this is a task that should be repeated periodically, to ensure any previous issues have been thoroughly remediated, whilst no new weaknesses have Inadvertently been introduced.
When performing penetration testing, we are taking the hacking mindset a step further, by trying to actively exploit any weaknesses we find, and see where it can lead, or what else may be exposed once we are in the system.
It's not uncommon for a piece of hardware or software to expose only a slight gap to an attacker, who once in the system can often rapidly escalate the attack to more important or critical business systems, causing chaos.
This is perhaps, the type of hacking that gains most attention from the press, with several high level attacks reported in recent years. Cybercog can help you, don't be the next victim.
It doesn't matter how many security systems you have in place or how advanced they are, unless your staff are thoroughly trained in what to look out for, they could be targeted.
Social engineering is still the most widely exploited way to break into a network, knowing how to spot possible threats, and what to do in the event of one, will make all the difference.
Proactively training your staff in how to avoid being the victims of cyber crime, is one of the most cost effective strategies for securing your business.
We can help your business take the most cost effective path to a strong security position, and ensure that you stay abreast of current trends and threats as they arise.
We are more connected in society than ever before, with most devices nowadays using wireless networking, bringing its own set of challenges to overcome. Cybercog can help your business stay ahead of the bad guys.
The best stance to take is one of zero trust, where users only get the minimum privileges needed to carry out their duties, allied with multiple layers of defence in your business.
We have only just scratched the surface above, but that should give you a general idea of what the actual process involves. Initially one of our fully qualified staff will sit down with your business managers and discuss your exact requirements, setting out any rules of engagement and what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you in return.
It is vital that appropriate permissions and approvals are satisfactory for all parties, with any legal documentation fully completed and in order before we can proceed further, this is both to protect your business and indemnify us against the UK's Computer Misuse Act 1990. These are strict laws that we fully comply with, and if you have any of your business based outside of the UK that you need us to test, there would clearly be additional constraints depending on that countries own laws that would need to be complied with.
Once an engagement has been completed, we will produce a full report documenting our findings and what they could mean for your business. This would come with recommendations on how to mediate any risks found and how to better protect your business in the future. If required at this stage, it is also possible for one of our fully EC-Council qualified specialists to attend your business and deliver this report to you as a presentation for your staff.
Please do get in touch if you need any more information, or would like to book our services!
