Cyber Resilience

A clearly articulated and actionable cyber strategy is the key to building meaningful cyber resilience. It should be able to be tracked for progress, measured for success and reported on to the Board, leadership and operational teams.  

We help our clients to establish a cyber strategy for the very first time, or assist them to refresh an existing one, by combining our extensive cyber experience with an independent, fresh set of eyes.

Periodic and independent cyber risk reviews & assessments provide an organisation with a much-needed external view of cyber risks that need to be prioritised and addressed. 

We help our clients to quantify and assess cyber risk, by conducting broad ranging enterprise cyber resilience assessments all the way through to conducting very targeted cyber security risk reviews or assessments on key parts of a business or critical processes.

We also help our clients to establish and maintain third party cyber risk assessment procedures, which are mandatory in the current interconnected way we operate.

Identifying cyber risks is one thing, but being able to do something about them is another. With a well-documented skills and talent shortage for cyber in Australia, finding the right people with the right balance of skills and lived experience can be time consuming, difficult, and competitive.

We help our clients by supporting them with a ‘virtual cyber risk team’ for extended periods of time, focusing on giving them a boost of momentum on a program initiative or specific project. This can be in a leadership role, such as a virtual Cyber Risk Manager, or as an extension of a pre-existing security team.

Cyber Resilience has a necessary and critical technical component. Maintaining constant vigilance over vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organisations’ ‘tech stack’ is critical, and the importance of good IT hygiene cannot be ignored, particularly given the rapid exploit of such weaknesses by modern cyber criminals.

Out-of-the-box security scanning and testing is one thing, but evolving an approach to be inclusive of cybercriminal attack frameworks and actionable cyber threat intelligence is the only way to build a real-world picture of actual threats and weaknesses. Can your use of technology hold up against would be attackers? How do you know if you don’t test it with purpose?

We help our clients by applying our knowledge of how cybercriminals execute their tradecraft, to conduct highly technical cyber resilience assessments of networks, systems or other digital assets, to identify vulnerabilities and potential weak points in defences before an incident occurs.

Immersive and realistic cyber crisis simulations for business-oriented leaders, such as Boards and Executives Teams, are a must. Training needs to have graduated beyond a cyber “guest lecture” or one hour presentation, which just doesn’t get the job done in the modern threat and risk landscape.

We help our clients to meaningfully prepare for the real, by applying our extensive cyber response & recovery expertise in a controlled manner, and by designing and executing ‘cyber simulations’ that expose teams to the unfamiliar, and assist them to be ready to manage complex cyber incidents and events when they arise.
