Threat and Vulnerability Management

Identify and manage vulnerabilities through assessments, simulations and mitigation strategies.

Security is regularly cited as the No. 1 Board priority for organisations and governments around the world.

Many organisations are learning the hard way that lacking the right security and risk strategy can result in lost revenue, reputation and, ultimately, market capital. For most companies, it comes down to three core challenges:

• Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated.
• Regulatory pressures are causing an increase in cost and complexity. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of these. Organisations selling goods or services to European Union citizens now must ensure that personally identifiable information is protected and that stringent processes are followed if data is lost.
• The skills gap keeps widening, and finding, hiring, training and retaining skilled employees is becoming more difficult.

Ongoing security validation

Traditional penetration testing must be combined with simulation-based assessments to provide meaningful assurance. At DXC Technology, we believe that to keep up with accelerated threat evolutions, traditional vulnerability identification methods must be complemented with robust and ongoing security validation. Threat actors don’t work just one month a year, and neither should vulnerability detection architecture.

Threat and Vulnerability Management

DXC Threat and Vulnerability Management services offer a comprehensive portfolio of services to ensure that your organisation can identify, manage and mitigate vulnerabilities.

• DXC’s Penetration Testing offers a full suite of application and infrastructure testing. Our teams use manual and automated methodologies to provide thorough evaluations of your assets and to provide risk prioritisation and mitigation recommendations. Penetration testing teams can also deliver customised social engineering assessments to determine the resilience of your people and processes.

• DXC Security’s Breach Assessment service is designed to assist an organisation in identifying potential data breaches or compromise through the use of threat hunting techniques targeted at uncovering indicators of intrusion and exfiltration by a malicious actor.

• DXC Vulnerability Scanning helps uncover system and network flaws and expertly provides prioritised information for remediation planning. This enables you to implement a proactive threat-prevention strategy, understand exposures and their potential impact, and take timely, cost-effective actions to mitigate risk. It also allows you to protect critical assets, uncover vulnerabilities and streamline operations with proven vulnerability management.

  Our approach to vulnerability management allows your organisation to leverage DXC experts to implement a vulnerability management strategy. DXC’s Managed Security Services provide support and guidance to enable you to get the optimum return on investment from your vulnerability management solution.

• DXC Cyber Attack Simulation delivers a real-world assessment to your business. Our advisors work with you to understand your primary business concerns. We then use our threat intelligence to understand the threat actor that is assessed to be the most likely attacker. We design a simulation that emulates the attacker’s tools and tactics to provide a realistic representation of the threat. DXC advisors will execute the attack and provide detailed feedback and mitigation strategies to help you improve your defenses.

• DXC Applications Security on Demand identifies security defects and vulnerabilities in applications by delivering static and dynamic security testing as a service.

• Code Audits are an in-depth form of technical assurance that can discover hard to find vulnerabilities even before the application has gone into production. We can also perform digital forensics to discover evidence left behind on computers and other devices as part of a technical risk assessment or an incident response. Our analysts can locate traces of sensitive information left behind by your organisation's applications, or reconstruct the actions of malicious software.
