Identify and manage vulnerabilities with testing assessments, simulations and mitigation strategies, vulnerability management or intelligence services.
Security is regularly cited as the No. 1 board priority for enterprises and governments around the world.
Many organizations are learning the hard way that lacking the right security and risk strategy can result in lost revenue and, ultimately, market capital. Despite massive investment, security operations are failing to evolve as quickly as their adversaries. For most companies, it comes down to three core challenges:
- Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated. Cyber crime is now one of the most lucrative “industries” on the black market. In fact, by 2022, the cost to global business may reach an astonishing $8 trillion.
- Regulatory pressures are causing an increase in cost and complexity. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a game changer that went into effect in Europe in May 2018. Organizations selling goods or services to European Union citizens must ensure that personally identifiable information is protected and that stringent processes are followed if data is lost.
- The skills gap keeps widening. Finding, hiring, training and retaining skilled employees are becoming ever more difficult. There just aren’t enough cyber security professionals to meet demand and stay current on the latest tools, tactics and techniques employed by cyber criminals.
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 1 month a year, and neither should our vulnerability detection architecture. We also have to:
- Train like we fight: White-hat penetration testers are often heavily restricted by scoping agreements. Black-hat hackers are not. If we hope to be ready for the adversary, we must evolve our penetration tests to simulate the actual attacks we are facing.
- Embrace the evolution of cyber attack simulation: We must address business questions such as, “Could threat group X steal designs for our latest product?” or, “Is it possible for organized crime group Y to identify our financial transfer process?” We can use threat intelligence to emulate the attackers that concern us most. This enables us to move past simple red teaming, to realistically mirror the real-world threats your enterprise faces.
- Optimize vulnerability managementand remediation: Attackers arequickly turning new vulnerabilitiesinto weapons, so we must respondfaster than in the past. The abilityto provide evidence of a robustmitigation threat response is a keyelement of the GDPR.
