In addition to specialised OT Cyber-physical protection solutions and services, Cybersplice offers a number of traditional IT Cybersecurity services as described below.

INTRUSION SIMULATIONS AND INCIDENT RESPONSE TESTING

Red Team vs Blue Team Exercises

 

Red team/blue team exercises provide organisations with a practical method to assess and bolster their cybersecurity posture. Some benefits of these exercises include:

  • Improved Vulnerability Identification: These exercises can uncover weaknesses in people, technologies, and systems within an organisation. They help identify mis-configurations in security products and any coverage gaps that might exist.
  • Enhanced Incident Response: Through these simulations, organisations can evaluate and refine their incident response procedures, encompassing every stage from detection and containment to remediation and recovery. This leads to a better understanding of how to handle targeted attacks effectively.
  • Strengthened Security Posture: By simulating real-world attack scenarios, red team/blue team exercises allow organisations to test their existing security measures proactively. This process facilitates the identification and rectification of vulnerabilities, improving the organisation’s overall security posture.
  • Improved Team Collaboration and Skills: These exercises encourage cooperation between IT and security teams by providing a platform for them to collaborate in a controlled environment. This collaboration fosters a stronger security culture and enhances the skills and expertise of both teams.
  • Increased Awareness and Training: By simulating real-world threats, red team/blue team exercises offer valuable insights into the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by adversaries. This practical experience allows security personnel to gain firsthand knowledge and develop their skills in a safe environment, enhancing their preparedness for real-world attacks.

Cybersplice uses advanced adversary emulation tools to design and conduct attack simulations against client infrastructure and systems.  This is done in conjunction with the security teams to assess the adequacy or security visibility and effectiveness of response activities, leading to improved Cybersecurity Incident Response capabilities.

VULNERABILITY AND EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS

Visibility and Remediation

Continuous Vulnerability Management is key to guard against compromise of networks and systems by external parties.  Adversaries often attempt this through:

  • physical compromise (including coercion, collusion or extortion)
  • exploit of insecure configuration or insecure code to bypass perimeter security
  • social engineering the human aspect behind the systems (e.g. identity theft)
  • attacking systems lacking in secure architecture design.

In order to design an appropriate response to remediate vulnerabilities, visibility of such is a required first step.  Cybersplice provides vulnerability assessments to help client understand, prioritise and remediate code and configuration vulnerabilities to reduce the likelihood of a compromise.

OUTSOURCED SECOPS

vCISO

Cybersecurity Consulting

Cybersplice provides guidance around cybersecurity roadmap development, bridging the gap for  customers experiencing a skills shortage or requiring short term assistance with Cybersecurity program roll-out.  Some of the benefits of engaging Cybersplice as vCISO include:

  • Cost-effectiveness and Flexibility: Cybersplice vCISOs offer a more budget-friendly alternative to hiring a full-time CISO, especially for startups and mid-sized businesses, as we work on a contractual basis, meaning clients only pay for the services they need. This approach eliminates expenses related to salary, benefits, and other costs associated with a full-time employee. Additionally, the flexible nature of a vCISO engagement allows our clinets to scale their security efforts up or down as needed, providing agility in responding to evolving security challenges.
  • Access to Expertise: Cybersplice vCISO capabilities bring a wealth of experience from working with various organisations and industries. This breadth of knowledge allows us to provide valuable insights and develop customised security strategies tailored to our client’s unique needs and risk profile. 
  • Strategic Guidance and Leadership: Cybersplice vCISO can help establish a strong security posture by conducting risk assessments, developing and implementing security policies and procedures, and aligning security goals with overall business objectives. We provide guidance to existing IT teams, offering mentorship and ensuring the team has the necessary resources and support.
  • Compliance Support: Cybersplice vCISO can be instrumental in helping organisations meet regulatory compliance requirements. We assess an organisation’s security posture against industry standards identifying areas of improvement and developing a roadmap to achieve compliance, helping our clients to avoid costly penalties and reputational damage associated with non-compliance.
  • Objective Perspective: As external party, Cybersplice  vCISO offer an unbiased and objective perspective on our client’s security posture. This fresh viewpoint can help identify vulnerabilities and areas for improvement that internal teams might overlook. We also provide a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating communication and ensuring everyone understands the security program.
  • Filling the Talent Gap: In a cybersecurity landscape where skilled professionals are in high demand, finding and retaining a qualified CISO can be challenging, especially for smaller organisations. Cybersplice vCISO provide a solution by offering expertise on an as-needed basis, bridging the talent gap and allowing organisations to benefit from top-tier security leadership without the challenges of recruitment and retention.
