Know Your Outside and Inside Threats

​

Cyber security is often sold by hardware vendors as a magic device or application that keeps intruders out. The reality is that approximately 80% of cyber threats are already inside your system. That 80% is your people; dishonest, hostile, disgruntled or poorly trained employees and consultants. A cyber security assessment shows you both these internal threats and threats from actors outside your organization. A true cyber security assessment will show you how your organization’s use of certain management, procedural and technical countermeasures (security controls) compares with industry security standards. 

 

A Concrete Plan to Secure Your IT Systems

​

So, what exactly is a cyber security assessment? In a true cyber assessment, a qualified, independent third-party, evaluates your system from the standpoint of management policies, standard operating procedures and technical devices. Your system is then compared with relevant, industry-recognized cyber security assessment frameworks such as NIST (NIST 800-53 Rev.4), ISO-27001, MARS-e 2.0, HITRUST, HIPPA, etc.) to determine where the vulnerabilities lie. Finally, a cyber security assessment will give you a precise, concrete plan to address flaws identified in your IT system.
