LeveL5Cyber’s Risk Assessments enable organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding cybersecurity. The services take into consideration today’s evolving threat landscape to drive cybersecurity priorities with an outcome-driven approach using industry standard processes.
Where do we start? Often, we hear this question prior to doing assessments of enterprise Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity postures. This is valid and at the forefront of any customer concerns. LeveL5Cyber approaches this topic by aligning your current capabilities and maturity with what can reduce the most risk. All gap recommendations are developed by seasoned operators to help produce strategic and tactical action plans that can be executed by internal resources and/or in combination with our team. It is important to keep in mind that cybersecurity programs and their associated risks change. This is where L5C brings value: Define the risks, Defend the assets.
Using strong passwords, updating your software, thinking before you click on suspicious links, and turning on multi-factor authentication are the basics of what we call “cyber hygiene” and will drastically improve your online safety. These cybersecurity basics apply to both individuals and organizations. For both government and private entities, developing and implementing tailored cybersecurity plans and processes is key to protecting and maintaining business operations. As information technology becomes increasingly integrated with all aspects of our society, there is increased risk for wide scale or high-consequence events that could cause harm or disrupt services upon which our economy and the daily lives of millions of Americans depend.
Despite many benefits, technology presents significant security vulnerabilities to the life science enterprise. These vulnerabilities must be managed effectively to avoid existential threat to the enterprise, public health, and national security. Life science labs are in the early stage of transition to the “smart labs” of the future. While some life science enterprises may observe other cybersecurity best practices, life science organizations can be complacent about the security of their networked equipment, generally do not properly value their data and business information, and do not fully recognize the significant security vulnerabilities this information may reveal about their organization. The use of personal devices such as personal laptops and cell phones to access work-related systems results in duplication and redirection of work data streams that introduce additional vulnerabilities and increase the complexity of the cybersecurity challenges.
Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. Ransomware incidents can severely impact business processes and leave organizations without the data they need to operate and deliver mission-critical services. Ransomware incidents have become more destructive and impactful in nature and scope. The economic and reputational impacts of ransomware incidents, throughout the initial disruption and, at times, extended recovery, have also proven challenging for organizations large and small.
