Cybersecurity
As organisations become increasingly dependent on digital technology, the opportunities for cyber criminals continue to grow.
The explosion of data generated by digital technology, combined with a new degree of connectedness among organisations, means that there is ripe opportunity for the technologically savvy and criminally minded to take advantage.
Cyber-attacks are more focused, skilful and ambitious. Geographical borders are meaningless. Regulators and stakeholders are increasing the pressure on organisations to manage these risks and cyber security is now a top of the boardroom agenda.
Our solutions
Prepare
We help you understand your current exposure to cyber security risk and support you to develop an effective security capability. Our services include cyber security risk and threat assessments; security policy development; security process or technical assessments; and third-party cyber security assurance.
Protect
We develop and implement the technical framework and broader processes required to protect. We can help you with security architecture; security technology implementations; security process design and implementation; identity and access management; privacy and data protection; data classification; enterprise application integrity; business continuity and disaster recovery; and penetration testing.
React
We work with you to support and monitor your cyber security operations, and help you to respond rapidly and forensically in the event of a security or data breach.
Change
We can help you improve and better manage your cyber security capability. Our services include security programme strategy and planning, security governance; and security awareness.
