Effectively identifying, assessing and remediating endpoint weaknesses is pivotal in running a healthy security program and reducing organizational risk. Bitdefender Endpoint Risk Analytics is an infrastructure that reduces exposure and hardens the endpoint surface area by discovering and prioritizing risky OS and software misconfigurations. Administrators can now address vulnerabilities using this new interface.

Email continues to be the #1 attacked vector by cybercriminals: as of today, 95% of attacks leverage email. Email attacks are relentless, tactics change rapidly, and sophistication is growing, hence understanding the email security landscape is paramount. If email attacks have been bugging you, we can configure DMARC specification to prevent unauthorized use of your email domain to protect your employees from spam, fraud, and phishing. Furthermore, you will be able to use the DMARC SaaS Platform to see who and what across the Internet is sending email using your email domain.
We advise you to accept that some attacks will breach your defenses – hence you must PLAN for it and be READY. Organizations providing regular information security risk awareness to their users combined with phishing and social engineering campaigns are highly effective in educating their workforce in combating against cyber threats. Particularly phishing and social engineering campaigns helps businesses to address the threat posed by ‘insiders’ who – knowingly or otherwise – may perpetrate or facilitate cyberattacks.
Furthermore, you need to have an effective incident handling process to combat against cyberattacks. It is important to ensure that CSIRT / IRT staff have the skills (if not, check our security fundamentals and in-depth training offering) and resources to quickly identify and isolate problems, determine the level of investigation and response required, and maintain business as usual. Importantly, security measures should make organizations more resilient, and not restrict core business.
Get in touch for a tailored SOC Analyst training that provides knowledge about: architecture, networking, core analyst skill set, common tools and techniques, SIEM log and audit policies, EDR & EPP investigation, network traffic analysis and collecting pcap, malware basic analysis, phishing analysis and indicator extraction, threat intelligence, threat hunting, rule writing, detections frameworks, incident management, incident response, vulnerability management, deployment of open source tools.

Data is the new oil. Where there is data smoke, there is business fire.
Compliance with data protection laws and regulations is always ongoing. Due to much uncertainty about some of the technicalities of the GDPR regulation, many organisations are still partially compliant and in risk to be fined if found breaching GDPR requirements with fines of €20 million or 4% of annual turnover, whichever is greater.

Cyberstrat provides support and advice throughout your journey to GDPR compliance. This begins with data classification framework and implementation, data protection impact assessment, and continues with a gap analysis, identifying areas for attention through data security provision, awareness and staff training. Here are some of the main steps needed to become GDPR-compliant:
