How CyberTrust Can Help You Regain Control of Your Cyber Risk
THREATS ARE REAL, AND POTENTIALLY COSTLY
Measures to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks come at a cost—in the range of 5-20% of the IT spend in organizations with good cyber programs. They also require expertise to select, plan, and implement cyber measures. Deciding how to spend a limited budget on the most effective measures can be difficult even for experienced cybersecurity leaders, and overwhelming for an organization with no in-house cyber expertise.
Successful cyber attacks are expensive, disruptive to internal operations and critical services, and create a level of chaos that undermines trust and confidence. And the expense, disruption, and chaos are worse for underprepared organizations. While there are no guaranteed defenses against attacks, there are achievable and effective measures that can greatly reduce the likelihood of successful attacks, reduce their impact, and ensure deliberate responses.
A NON-PROFIT THAT CAN BE A TRUSTED PARTNER TO CITIES AND TOWNS, NON-PROFITS, and SMBs
CyberTrust Massachusetts was formed as a non-profit specifically to help Massachusetts-based municipalities, nonprofits, and small businesses with their cyber defenses, while training the next generation of cyber professionals.
Our team brings deep expertise from sophisticated global commercial and national security cyber operations. And we offer only two services—both focused on the essentials you need to elevate your cyber program—so our advice isn’t tied to upselling additional services. With our deep expertise, and focused non-profit model, we can serve as your trusted partner in cybersecurity.
ASSESSING YOUR CURRENT STATE, SETTING A DIRECTION
ADVISORY SERVICES
Our Advisory service helps you asses your current situation, prioritize the resulting risks, and then assists in developing strategies to reduce your exposure and improve your cyber posture.
Our Advisory service is a one-time activity which includes:
- Assessing your infrastructure, security controls, policies and practices
- Testing four key aspects of your defenses
- Assisting you in developing a minimum set of cyber policies and plans, including an incident response plan
- Connecting you to free resources made available from state or federal programs
Our services are designed to reduce the likelihood of successful cyber attacks, reduce their impact, and ensure a deliberate response.
24/7 PROTECTION AND GENERAL CYBER SUPPORT
MONITORING and EDR
We also have an active monitoring and response service, which includes:
- Deployment of software agents on all laptops, desktops and servers in your environment
- Detection and automatic correction/isolation of suspected malicious activity 24/7 monitoring and response
- Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity, devices or accounts that may be indicative of an attack in process
- Regular monitoring of software vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers
- With active monitoring, we also provide continuing follow-up on our assessment and advisory work, providing advice and guidance on your cyber needs.
These monitoring and response services are provided in one of our Massachusetts-based Security Operations Centers (SOCs), enabled via our technology partners with a world-class technology stack, and staffed with a combination of cyber experts and students selected from CyberTrust’s member schools.
