OT Cyber Security Consultancy

Cyber Security Gap Assessments

Once run the results from the Cyber Security Gap Assessment (CSGA) and Risk Assessment Service will allow you identify and record where your organisations current critical business systems are, where their vulnerabilities lie, the level of cyber risk you face, and whether your staff’s behaviours are contributing to the overall threat level.

Key benefits:

• Define a means of measuring organisational Cyber Maturity which can be monitored year on year to measure Return on Investment (ROI)
• Improve the organisations understanding of business-critical systems and associated vulnerabilities both in the control systems and associated policies and procedures
• Provide a prioritised action plan allowing you to concentrate on what’s important

Proportionate and Appropriate control measures based on evidence and risk

Once the organisational maturity has been defined our consultants will work with you to develop a strategic approach with the aim of improving your cyber resilience driven by your current business needs. Once the Cyber Maturity and Risk Levels have been defined our consultants will help you to define:

• Acceptable cyber resilience methodologies
• Define resilient and secure system architecture designs
• Identify security solutions that best help protect and monitor the organisations critical systems
• Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and human experience

Key benefits:

• Significantly improve your organisations cyber investment decisions
• Strengthen customer trust through measurable maturity scoring
• Using the ROI metric can help achieve and maintain the desired cyber resilience level

Passive, offline data ingestion and OT safe active detection. Automated tools and experienced professionals to humanly assess and validate

Defining a cyber security scope and asset inventories helps define business critical systems and quantify how individual scenarios are handled, often these are expected to retrofit onto existing control systems networks. Knowing if the existing system is free from malware or ransomware can be a daunting task, our experienced Cyber Security consultants can help with:

• Analysis of data provided from existing security deployments
• Implement and monitoring threat detection solutions
• Network traffic analysis to detect existing malware patterns
• Endpoint anomaly detection

Key benefits:

• Known good starting point with asset inventory and baseline
• Network malware and ransomware detection
• Network architecture walkthrough and validation
• Comprehensive list of missing patches and weak configurations

People, Process, Technology

Being able to effectively respond to threats relies not only on the policies and procedures defined as part of the corporate OT policy but also being able to effectively understand the information that is flowing in from a range of detection and protection appliances and endpoints.

• Logical and critical process protection/isolation
• Endpoint Detection and Response (ERD) along with device isolation
• SOC/SIEM message standardisation

Key benefit:

• Business critical systems and processes can be isolated whilst threats are neutralised
• Interfacing with the wider enterprise security architecture
• Review of policies and procedures to ensure they reflect best practice and are appropriate 

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The ability to recover is only second to safety, both are intrinsically linked

Testing the procedures and mitigations that are in place is key to validating the integrity of the running systems, regular testing defines the need to review the current cyber maturity stance allowing an organisation to fix or fine tune individual elements of the procedures should change be necessary. The same is also true of an organisation’s backup schema, our Cyber Consultants can help you identify backup issues before they become recovery problems.

• Secure backup architecture design and scheduled automatic testing to ensure data can be recovered
• Scalable backup data replication fits organisational needs
• Fast and efficient recovery

Key benefits:

• Ensure backups are validated and restorable
• Ensure backup integrity and ensure free from Ransomware attack
• Critical assets and applications can be recovered in minutes in a Disaster Recovery scenario

Training that enables a skilled workforce to perform their duties with confidence

One of the best ways to enhance knowledge and skills is through training. Getting employees exposed to relevant and consistent training can help companies improve performance and increase results in the workplace.

Network Training

As industrial networks move from proprietary networks to IP-based networks, those responsible for developing and maintaining these networks are faced with the considerable challenge of managing the underlying complexity and scope of technologies that were developed for the IT world.
