Security is not a product, but a process. We help you find the gaps.
A security system with several layers is difficult to hack. So, even if your data is targeted, getting through the many tiers of security will be a hassle.

To mitigate technology-related risks, we resell and deploy Bitdefender GravityZone Security Solutions that offer comprehensive protection for physical and virtual desktops and servers, plus mobile devices and security and antispam for Exchange mailboxes. The antivirus and antimalware come with behavioral monitoring, zero-day threat protection, application control, firewall, device control and content control with anti-phishing and anti-spam for Exchange mail servers.
Effectively identifying, assessing and remediating endpoint weaknesses is pivotal in running a healthy security program and reducing organizational risk.
Hence, Bitdefender GravityZone offers Endpoint Risk Analytics, an infrastructure that reduces exposure and hardens the endpoint surface area by discovering and prioritizing risky OS and software misconfigurations, as well as Network Traffic Security Analytics which extends protected areas with network based security that blocks threats like Brute Force attacks, Password Stealers, Network Exploits, lateral movements before they can execute. The NTSA tool delivers a new level of protection against attacks aiming to gain access to the system by exploiting network vulnerabilities.
All Bitdefender security tools are managed from a single console for any type and number of endpoints in any location. All your endpoints are protected – physical, virtual and cloud – no matter the form factor, workstation, server, embedded, mobile, or the OS, Windows, Linux, Mac, by the #1 ranked solution for protection and performance in independent tests.
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 they do not, check our training offering. Organizations that quickly identify and isolate problems, determine the level of investigation and response required to maintain business as usual, and deploy adequate security controls (deterrent, preventive, detective, corrective, compensating) are more resilient and able to support core business activities.

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. Moreover, when mandated to implement the requirements of multiple data protection laws and regulations, many organisations are finding themselves challenged by the task.
Cyberstrat IT Consulting 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:
