Are You Secure?
Get Semperlinc Cyber-Certifed
Most small businesses have difficulty and are challenged to implement security measures that protect their business. The reasons vary, but several trends continue to surface, such as basic understanding and principles of Cybersecurity, not a priority, limited resources, and budget. Businesses that do not have a Cybersecurity plan continue to get compromised and, unfortunately, cannot recover from such an attack.
Over 60% of small businesses affected by a cyberattack, such as ransomware, go out of business.
The Semperlinc Team has created a basic Framework to manage Cybersecurity risks for small businesses. The Semperlinc Cybersecurity Certification “Semperlinc Cyber-Certified prevents and prepares small businesses from a Cyberattack. The “certification comprises “Six Essential Pillars” that offer a good starting point for any organization, especially those with limited resources, time, and budget.
Cybersecurity Six Essential Pillars:
Basic Security Assessment to Determine a Baseline
Any basis for understanding a small business’s security state begins with a security posture assessment. Our assessment is comprehensive, fully automated, powerful, reliable, and accurate to create true measurable points of value.
The findings report will measure the overall cybersecurity posture by evaluating the current risk and discovering hazards and vulnerabilities. We follow a basic process:
Incident Response and Business Continuity Plan
Cyber attacks are catastrophic to Small Businesses. It is essential to have documentation that identifies the critical information and processes an organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event. Therefore an effective Incident Response and Business Continuity Plan IRP are essential to examine the response to the attack, follow up on the lessons learned and address equally more aggressive prevention and preparation measures. These measures are written and executed per business operations that align with the organization’s business goals.
The Followings Steps Will Be Taken as Part of the Project:
Create an Appropriate Framework for the Incident Response.
Document processes that capture all the steps from event detection to recovery.
Create the Documentation for Business Continuity:
Establish Proactive Advisory and Cybersecurity Policies
Provide advisory services on your current state and cybersecurity posture. Also, create a cybersecurity roadmap, and related policies and advise on appropriate security measures to safeguard your business-critical data aligned with industry standards and best practices. Best Practices include:
24/7 Monitoring Through a Security Operations Center (Soc) (Accedian)
Cyber risk does not sleep, so SOC teams must be able to assess, monitor, and manage risks 24 hours a day. Continuously monitor production, proactively look for the brand and digital security breaches, and prioritize actionable risk mitigation measures based on potential business impacts.
Our proactive risk prevention rather than traditional reactive threat detection (anti-virus) helps reduce and eliminate vulnerabilities before they occur. However, Semperlinc’s Cybersecurity Incident Team can quickly assess security situations and work to detect and protect Small businesses from Cyber attacks.
Awareness and Training (Accedian)
Semperlinc offers in-person and remote workshops for automation engineers and the Certification Team to educate on cyber threats. Our Cybersecurity trainers assess the current state of knowledge, recommend learning paths, and then work together with internal Operational Technology and SOC teams. The goal is to automate ongoing risk assessments, improve OT cybersecurity awareness, prioritize corrective actions, and provide actionable risk mitigation playbooks.
Red Teaming and Testing
Red teams often called “white hat hackers,” deal with ethical hacking and test a company’s security vulnerabilities. Semperlinc’s professional service teams bring their cybersecurity expertise nationwide, providing penetration testing, comprehensive security posture assessments, hands-on risk simulations, and more. Semperlinc’s vulnerability Assessment Experts provide a comprehensive security posture assessment, including hands-on reality checks, also known as red teams.
