We Make Your IT Invincible

He shares a case study of a Client who is the global industry leader in Financial Services and provides end-to-end IT services and solutions. The business challenges were Lack of streamlined approach to security testing, owing to lack of testing process and methodology, and No visibility towards server and network vulnerability management.

Sanket reveals, “We did the technical assessment by Scanning the IT infrastructure for vulnerabilities and reported them periodically. We then identified dead hosts or decommissioned assets and kept the scanning list up to date.” A follow-up was done with systems and patching teams for prompt remediation of outstanding vulnerabilities. A detailed vulnerability assessment on all assets using RidgeBot (A robotic vulnerability scanner and Pentest tool) is also performed, along with a network architecture and config review of the internal network.

“The business impact was profound,” says Sanket. It included meeting customer compliance and improving customer satisfaction. All assessment findings were remediated with respective owners. “We highlighted areas in the client’s security architecture which were vulnerable to potential cyberattacks and deployed our solutions to make the system failproof and invincible,” adds Sanket.

We Secure Your Data-Currency

According to Sanket, information is the most valuable currency in today’s world, and it is only natural that any enterprise with information unique and crucial to its functioning would want to have it secured inside an impregnable fortress of safety. Cyber Security and Cyber Security products, hence, become of paramount importance for any business. “We understand Cyber Security products better. We understand business data and the technologies that manage, store and move that information for you and your clients,” he claims.

And along with it, the threats to your data and business systems can cost thousands, even millions, of dollars. Though each company has the primary responsibility of its Cyber security exposure – the extent of extending access, firewall workarounds for vendors, and external and internal reaches, the frantic pace at which information ecosystems are evolving can be a challenge for even the leaders in the business domains. This is where CiELO Tech is the most valuable partner every enterprise can have.

We Build an End-to-End Security

Elaborating on the plethora of solutions they provide, Sanket says they include

Enterprise Security Solutions: “We bring an integrated facilities management service, bring you enterprise security solutions targeted to amalgamate different aspects of your business. Hence, done by processing all info from the areas related to the databases, delivering real-time operating information to managers, and placing mission-critical data open to the organization. Our network enterprise solutions are viable for any type of consumer, providing them with real-time IT management. We provide cloud application monitoring boosting existing successful suite products.” Hence arranging application performance management and real-time network activity for the IT industry.

Advanced Threat Protection: Increasingly, organisations are facing stealthy targeted attacks in their networks. Often custom designed to penetrate standard defences, these attacks are poised to monetise intellectual property and customer information or to encrypt essential data for ransom.

Sanket adds, “Our Advanced Threat Protection solution delivers a blend of cross-generational threat defence techniques that protect against targeted attacks, advanced threats, and ransomware.” Advanced Threat Protection gives you the power to detect, analyse, and respond to today’s stealthy ransomware, its variants, including WannaCry, and targeted attacks in real-time.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): EDR allows you to ask questions about what has happened in the past and what is happening now on your endpoints. Hunt threats to detect active adversaries or leverage for IT operations to maintain IT security hygiene. When an issue is found remotely, respond with precision. By starting with the strongest protection, Intercept X stops breaches before they start. It cuts down the number of items to investigate and saves you time.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): SIEM comprises five distinct frameworks that can be leveraged independently to meet a wide range of security use cases, including compliance, application security, incident management, advanced threat detection, real-time monitoring and more.

Network Security: Businesses are pressured to protect network assets from increasingly sophisticated threats whilst incorporating infrastructure changes like virtualization and ever-higher bandwidth networks. The various network security services include

  • Next-generation firewalls.
  • Network security firewalls.
  • Advanced threat prevention.
  • Network access control.
  • Endpoint security.
  • Denial of service.

Content Security: Businesses need to let employees work online without risking data. At the same time, cybercrime tactics grow more advanced every day. Standalone solutions such as anti-virus simply can’t keep up. This is when you need

  • Web application security.
  • Web application firewall.
  • Email security.
  • Hosted security.
  • Hybrid security.

Data Security: Data is the lifeblood of business. The potential damage to companies, both financially and reputation-wise, from data loss is well documented. Whether protecting sensitive data from theft or accidental loss, data protection is at the top of the IT team’s priority list: Data encryption, DLP, Data access, and Data Classification.

Security Intelligence: The modern network will be breached – but you need to know when you are under attack and be able to remediate that, a thankless task given the ever-increasing number of logs, devices and users on your network. Active Security Intelligence is integral to your strategy to detect targeted attacks early and reduce their business impact. CiELO Tech helps you with

  • Responding to increased volume.
  • Responding to increased risk.
  • Dealing with the real threats.

Sanket furthers that their cyber security assessment solution focuses on discovering threats, vulnerabilities and gaps in IT policy and process, IT infrastructure architecture, networks, operating systems, applications and database that may lead to severe risk in enterprise IT. “Our cybersecurity assessment experts have built the capability to conduct most of the reviews with the right mix of cost-effective onshore and off-shore models,” he says.

Sharing one more case study, Sanket says the client was one of the leading banks in India with more than 3000 employees. The bank has a presence in major cities in India.

The business challenges were multiple:

  • Significant increase in the number of external hacking attempts; •Compliance requirement to protect customers’ medical data; •High visibility on any security breach causing compromise of confidential data; and •No visibility towards potential risk to the environment from external attacks.

So was CiELO Tech’s Technical Assessment: • A custom security assessment methodology divided into several phases; • Automated and manual testing using licensed tools; • Vulnerability verification to remove false positives; • Advanced automated security testing techniques with necessary manual verification and risk analysis of the findings; and • Remediation recommendation reporting and mitigation support.

Sanket divulges that their solutions had a profoundly positive business impact:

  • A 150-page comprehensive security assessment report was delivered to be used by all types of audiences (Senior Leadership, Security Group, Auditors, Remediation team etc.);
  • Several critical and high-risk vulnerabilities were discovered in the organization’s public-facing domains;
  • A complete and detailed list of low, medium and high-risk vulnerabilities was delivered to the client’s internal security team before disengagement, with a few critical vulnerabilities requiring immediate attention.
  • CiELO Tech developed advanced automated security scanning scripts to meet the aggressive timelines and parse results intelligently, successfully exploited and compromised vulnerable systems to access customer-sensitive business data;
  • Risk-driven remediation plan assisted the organisation in using available resources effectively for mitigating identified gaps
  • Established phased approach planned to be utilized by the client for periodic vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.
