Proactive defense, aimed to create a systematic edge.
These are our services. We combine strategic foresight with deep-tech expertise and pragmatic, outcome oriented execution.
Our goal is to protect businesses, not individual networks or apps. But we can do both if you’d like us.
1. Security Program Development
The security program is what drives a company's security objectives. Every tech-enabled business should have one. Strategizing high-quality programs that find operational traction and deliver just the right defense capabilities, is a challenging task though.
CISOCON's sweet spot lies exactly here: Developing and managing state-of-the-art, OKR-based security programs that are purposefully designed for operational execution. We don't stop at the planning phase - our Delivery Teams can tackle the workload for you and jointly with you, including leadership by an elite CISO.
2. Operational Delivery
The key to driving a security program lies in experienced people, a CISO-led delivery team that not only knows what to do, but specifically how to do it.
Delivery and implementation of defense architecture and cross-cutting capabilities is the core of what CISOCON does. We bring in seasoned, tech-native people that combine multiple skillsets from engineering, architecture, hacking & exploitation etc., ready to execute your security program and support onsite teams.
3. Inside-Out Security Assessments
If you've been doing traditional penetration tests in the past to understand how and where your company, services or technology stack is vulnerable - please stop. Pentests are costly, intransparent, unintelligent and very low-leverage. Most importantly, they do not tell you what to better.
Assessments should be designed around specific outcomes. This could be satisfying customer requests, dissecting application & infrastructure stacks to find attack vectors or creating a baseline for the security program.
Each outcome requires a slightly different approach. In any event, this should be inside-out, not outside-in by just scratching at your company's public perimeter.
Our team conducts inside-out, high-leverage and collaboration-based assessments that are tailored for the desired outcome.
4. Defense Architecture Design & Implementation
Any tech-enabled business faces the need to protect itself against a multitude of attacks. Many attacks target confidential data, some target service uptime, others aim at the people by conducting phishing or extortion attempts. They way to answer this is by ramping up a tailor-made ecosystem of defense solutions and adopting cutting-edge architectural approaches that create a strategic advantage over adversaries. We refer to this as flipping the asymmetry problem. The objective must be to:
- make it extremely cumbersome for attackers to break in (almost economically unviable)
- next to impossible to not be detected
- and make it very difficult for the adversary to cause any lasting damage.
The question arises as to what defense capabilities are important, which commercial or open-source solutions are suitable and against which priority to implement them. Answering this is what our team does best.
