Impact of cyber-attacks on the critical infrastructure of companies
The proliferation of disruptive cyberattacks on the critical infrastructure of high-risk organizations in the financial services, energy, telecom, healthcare, and other key industries have put cybersecurity concerns front and center for all stakeholders. Whether it be ransomware hacks, supply chain attacks, or social engineering threats, cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for new ways to bypass existing defenses and steal data, defraud victims, disrupt operations, and cause reputational damage. The mass movement toward digital platforms for key business activities during the pandemic has further resulted in the heavy dependence on digital platforms and systems with inadequate security measures in place.
Managing critical events and emergency incidents
The response to critical cyber events and emergency incidents must be swift and precise to achieve the desired outcomes. The success of a crisis response depends on the people, process, and technologies involved in it. There needs to be close collaboration and information sharing between the primary responders and all the other stakeholders within or outside the organization. Coming to the process front, it becomes imperative to remove bottlenecks and inefficiencies in existing processes so as to avoid losing valuable time during a crisis response. Lastly, technology can become a great enabler if combined in the right way with human expertise to take decisive actions at a rapid pace.
The solutions to protect the infrastructure
Security teams are struggling to cope with the growing number of threat alerts and incidents affecting their infrastructure. The longer it takes to detect and mitigate a threat, the more room it leaves for attackers to stealthily manoeuver inside targeted networks to achieve their malicious objectives. Thus, it has become crucial for organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities to prevent such incidents. Cyware is leading the industry in providing cyber fusion center solutions that help integrate and organize the diverse security functions under a single, connected operational unit. Cyware’s solutions leverage the power of security orchestration and automation (SOAR) to help security teams create and execute end-to-end automated workflows for a variety of security use cases. Moreover, our solutions bring threat intelligence analysis and sharing into the mix, thereby helping organizations take a proactive, threat-centric approach to deal with malware, vulnerabilities, threat actors, attack campaigns, breaches, and a variety of other threats. Cyware also provides solutions to improve the situational awareness of all members within an organization, as well as its partners, vendors, and others, through information sharing and collaboration across their ecosystem.
