Threat & Vulnerability Assessment Services - Designing Your Comprehensive Non-Invasive Risk Management Process to “Maximize Operational Reliability and Availability”
Challenge: Are you confident that your Threat and Vulnerability Management Process is protecting the Bulk Electric Systems’ Critical Cyber Assets?
CAUTION Because of the potential for disruption to control system devices and essential IT infrastructure operations, vulnerability scanners should be used with caution on production Industry Control System networks. Complyant Solutions’ cyber security specialists are highly experienced in performing threat and vulnerability assessments. Our security professionals understand the risks of performing incorrect actions. Our unparalleled audit and information security control expertise and in-depth knowledge of threat and vulnerabilities and emerging technologies - makes Complyant Soutions the first choice of leading companies.
How do you know whether your Risk Management Process is addressing all the risks? The use of the open Internet and new vulnerable technologies within industry control systems has driven the need for strong information security solutions and techniques. Any access to cyber assets is a challenge to an organization concerned about liability, security, and regulatory compliance. Insecure and unreliable industrial control system networks are a threat to your critical cyber assets, operational reliability of devices, can cause reduced earnings and financial impacts to revenue streams, a loss of confidence for your customers, significant financial penalty and sanctions, and ultimately - impact the reliability of the Nation’s Bulk Electric System. Are you certain that you do not have access links (such as dial-up modems to equipment and control information) open for remote diagnostics, maintenance, and examination of system status? Do you allow third party vendors to remotely maintain your critical systems? Do you have control systems attached to vulnerable wireless communication systems? How often do you update your training and awareness programs to ensure that they remain current with new vulnerabilities? Are passwords to critical systems easy to guess, shared, or using the default passwords that were provided “out of the box”, or even installed with no passwords at all? Are you certain that access to/from the Internet are approved connections and implemented with securely configured firewalls? These are just a sampling of threats and vulnerabilities to mention….. Without adequate cyber security controls in place, a cyber security breach could significantly damage your business and cause a cascading effect to the Bulk Electric System. How can you be sure your cyber security controls are effective?
Solution: Threat & Vulnerability Risk Management Services from Complyant Solutions.
WE ARE EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS YOU CAN TRUST
The Complyant Solutions’ Threat & Vulnerability Assessment will help identify any weaknesses that may be present in the systems that could allow the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems and data to be adversely affected, along with the related cyber security risks. Our Cyber Security Services Team will assist you with designing and implementing sustainable cost effective and efficient mitigation approaches to reduce the risks.
The core element of our Threat & Vulnerability Management methodology is to take a “Defense in Depth” approach to cyber security. Securing SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems or DCS (Distributed Control System) environments requires knowledgeable security professionals who have significant real-time process control/SCADA and cyber security experience. Our Cyber Security Services strategy has an appreciation for the various security layers that play a role in securing mission-critical real-time control systems. Each layer of defense represents categories of system components that must all be secured and hardened to the highest level so that each system can compensate for inherent deficiencies in the layers below it. Our services can:
-
Design and document your threat and vulnerability methodology and management processes
-
Review controls over access points to your electronic security perimeter(s) and the various layers of security controls to ensure that they are secure and optimally configured
-
Identify known threats and vulnerabilities
-
Design and implement automated tools and processes to assist you with sustaining a cost effective and efficient “real-time” solution
-
