Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness
)
Business pressures and cyber challenges are increasing, meaning that organisations need to take a more active approach to their cyber security posture. New regulations such as DORA and NIS2 are coming in thick and fast, and it is the organisation’s responsibility to ensure compliance. For many IT and Security Leaders, there is a lack of certainty when considering the outcome of material cyber-attacks because they don’t have the evidence.
There is a clear need to undertake a base-level assessment to replicate what an attacker would do and provide grounded data to prove the impact of an attack in the event of an actual breach. Acora’s Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service follows a bespoke Attack Informs Approach that does just that, and focuses on continuous improvement and evidence that will show the vulnerabilities and what was exploited, making the prioritisation lens real.
We offer an effective, end-to-end baseline of your estate. A list of clear priorities, risks, and actions is fundamental to building a business case and establishing a baseline to enhance cyber security.
- Audit: Through an audit list, we can cut a 250+ item to-do list into a 10-item one by proving what is most important to fix based on impact and likelihood.
- Test: By carrying out a variety of manual and automated techniques, we can identify vulnerabilities that, when combined correctly, will be exploited and will represent toxic combinations that attackers can leverage.
- Provide: Using our knowledge of the cyber security landscape, threats and associated impact, we put a prioritisation lens in place to identify the most critical risks to your organisation’s estate.
- Build: We can then effectively run and build a complete end-to-end baseline of your organisations estate by assessing the environment and understanding what we need to fix through a Crisis Management Solution
The goal is to understand the impact of a cyber attack on your organisation and create a platform to increase risk profile.
By carrying out a variety of manual and automated techniques, we can identify vulnerabilities that, when combined correctly, will be exploited and will represent toxic combinations that attackers can leverage to:
- Achieve their goal of initiating a cyber-attack
- Evade detection and response
- Prevent victims from contacting the attack
- Negate the ability to perform successful recovery
Combined with Assessments Best Practice and Offensive Testing, our Cyber Incident Baseline and Readiness Service components work collectively to evidence the vulnerabilities your organisation is facing at the hands of an attacker.
