Businesses should be concerned with third-party cybersecurity risk because it can arise from anywhere, worsen with emerging trends, and cause irreparable harm.

Automated ransomware attacks can be quick and efficient, necessitating continuous security monitoring with rapid detection, response, and containment capabilities.

Extended detection & response (XDR) is an advanced threat monitoring that provides visibility into multiple security layers for more robust protection.

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a comprehensive, outsourced security platform providing threat hunting, identification, and remediation services.

Cyber insurance is not a replacement for continuous security monitoring, but it adds an extra layer of protection from financial risks associated with a cybersecurity incident, including costs resulting from repairs, business interruption, and theft.

Risk assessments, penetration tests, compromise assessments, and breach and attack simulations evaluate a company’s strengths and weaknesses regarding preparedness in thwarting an attack and protecting sensitive data.

If the threat actor is affiliated with sanctioned nation-states, networks or individuals, paying ransom demands could violate several U.S. laws and regulations, and make you civilly liable.

Vulnerability assessments analyze a company’s information system to identify and remediate potential security gaps, while penetration tests simulate cyberattacks to pinpoint exposures.
