Hour a Week Virtual CISO SerVICES

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service provides organizations with access to high-level cybersecurity expertise and guidance on a part-time or as-needed basis. By leveraging external attack surface monitoring tools, we deliver a comprehensive and cost-effective virtual CISO service that provides continuous monitoring, proactive threat detection, and data-driven security strategies for our clients.

Alerting and Incident Response:

Automated Alerts:

We configure the attack surface monitoring tool to send automated alerts whenever suspicious activity, vulnerabilities, or potential breaches are detected.

Prioritization and Response:

The virtual CISO service prioritizes these alerts based on severity and potential impact. This allows for a more efficient and targeted response to security incidents and potential breaches.

Reporting and Remediation:

Track identified vulnerabilities and their remediation progress. We then generate easy to understand, actionable reports for clients highlighting the security posture, identified risks, and mitigation efforts to be undertaken.

 

Continuous Monitoring and Proactive Approach:

Real-time Visibility:

We use attack surface monitoring tools to gain constant visibility into your external attack surface. This includes identifying public-facing assets like websites, domains, subdomains, exposed ports, and cloud resources.

Vulnerability Detection:

These tools scan your attack surface for vulnerabilities in web applications, operating systems, and misconfigurations. Early detection allows for timely remediation before attackers exploit them.

Threat Intelligence:

Integrate threat intelligence feeds into your monitoring solution. This allows you to identify emerging threats and proactively adjust your security posture.
