CYBERSECURITY

Stay a step ahead

Customized cybersecurity solutions you can rely on

Today, businesses across all industries are adopting advanced and emerging technologies at a much faster rate than ever before. Solutions driven by data and AI are powerful assets to help you stay competitive in current markets; but they aren’t without vulnerabilities. Compounded with the hybrid models of the modern workplace and complex political and economic climates, it’s no surprise that cyberthreats are always increasing.

In cybersecurity terms, standing still is going backwards. Building a comprehensive cybersecurity program is the only real way to mitigate the risks and minimize the negative impact they can have on your business.

We leverage our expertise in both technology and industry to offer end-to-end cybersecurity solutions, to help you:

Assess your threat levels and build a roadmap best suited to your needs
Plan and execute a program that will strengthen your cyber posture in the short and long term
Manage risk by continuously augmenting your program as you grow and as threats evolve

Staying ahead of cyber risks means knowing that you are ready to respond to and recover from any potential attacks. Our cybersecurity solutions enable our clients to protect their data, assets, and people, so they can operate their businesses fearlessly.

Our
Capabilities

Our full suite of cybersecurity solutions is made up of eight key services:

Our Application Security service helps improve your business resilience by enhancing the security posture of your custom applications using a programmatic approach.

We work hand-in-hand with your development team, IT teams, and business stakeholders to implement application security techniques within the code development process.

By executing various forms of testing throughout the application development lifecycle, we enable teams to reduce the time and cost of remediating security defects.

Our cloud Security services help organizations assess the evolving landscape and apply security controls to overcome challenges such as unrestricted access, data exposure, misconfigurations, and visibility. The services include:

Cloud security transformation advisory: We work closely with your team to understand your cloud objectives and help you develop a strategic plan that is customized to your needs.
Cloud security enablement: Our team ensures that you have visibility into all areas of cloud deployments which allows for continuous monitoring and response.
Cloud security governance & compliance: We provide you with a proven and reliable approach to identify gaps and act quickly to minimize the risks in your environment. It also provides continuous monitoring of resources, policy enforcement, alerts, and remediation actions to meet all your compliance, internal policy, and regulatory requirements.
Cloud Security Posture Evaluation: You can’t protect what you can’t see. We will conduct a targeted cloud security evaluation specific to your business needs, to identify gaps and vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructures that put your organization at risk. This evaluation provides visibility into your current state, as well as a prioritized list of recommendations to enhance your security posture. Our team of cloud experts can also work with you to implement these recommendations.

Our security assessments enable you to harness your business’ current state of maturity and make informed decisions on process improvements and technology investments.

We work with businesses to establish key objectives, enable capabilities, and execute cybersecurity program enhancement initiatives.

Our goal is to empower your company’s security team to identify and mitigate threats specific to your industry and business needs through targeted and tailored cyber strategies. This service is a comprehensive, long-term plan to help future-proof your business against cyber harm to transform, operate, and grow with confidence.

Our Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service entails a threat intelligence-informed operations center. We leverage core security tools and human-based research to help maintain visibility over your organization’s critical assets, monitor for threats in real-time, and respond swiftly to ensure you are protected.

Our team works closely with you to navigate the impact of evolving changes in your technology environment and changes to your threat profile. This enables timely threat detection and minimizes the impact on your business.

Our 24 x 7, year-round service monitors your security status to identify events of interest, respond to and investigate incidents, and take swift action to mitigate threats to your business, based on our pre-defined playbooks.

Our Offensive Security and Penetration Testing identifies and exploits vulnerabilities across the attack surface of an application, network, or system using real-world attacker techniques. By performing these tests

from the lens of an adversary, we can help you identify weaknesses in your attack surface and inform patch schedules or code defect remediation before threat actors can impact your business.

Our service supports multiple types of testing across diverse platforms including:

Black box testing: Provides a wide-scale perspective of all points of intrusion.
White box testing: Analyzes flaws in code, processes, infrastructure, and controls.
Grey box testing: Identifies vulnerabilities in the core applications to best protect your critical data and assets.
Adversarial simulations: Also available to provide a comprehensive assessment of your security posture by testing your controls and incident response procedures in real-time.

Our Threat Hunting service proactively searches across your information systems to detect and/or isolate threats that may evade existing security defences.

The Threat Hunting service is designed to help defend your digital assets in numerous ways:

Clear outcomes and measurable results: Our structured approach to threat hunting ensures a clear understanding of the effort to achieve impact and successful outcomes based on your unique threat profile.
Continuous improvement: Almost every hunt provides value by identifying gaps in the existing security posture that would otherwise have gone undetected. This enables a continuous posture improvement program.
Containment and remediation support: We support you from the early stages of detection and throughout the period of threat containment and remediation to ensure any active threats are removed.
Deep expertise: Our methodologies are informed by successes and failures from our cyber operations experience within the national defence community.

Our Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) service reduces the impact on your business by identifying cyber threats to your organization, your industry, and across the regions in which you operate.

We provide:

Access to curated cyber intelligence, allowing you to be informed by understanding your most likely and most dangerous threats as they occur globally.
Near real-time indications and warnings which are alerts that provide mitigating actions to reduce risks and inform incident response in near real-time.
Threat trends to help inform your security strategy and investments to enhance prevention and detection capabilities.
Structured intelligence methodologies sourced from the national security community and industry expertise, coupled with our rigor to maximize the extent of our collection to get the relevant intelligence in your hands, quickly to help you mitigate any upcoming threats.

Our Vulnerability Management (VM) service is an ongoing operation of identifying assets and their vulnerabilities which threat actors may easily exploit.

The VM service is the cornerstone of an effective cyber security program. All exploitation scenarios begin with a vulnerability in a technology. With the exponential growth in technology, the need for end-to-end visibility of vulnerabilities is critical and is made effective by understanding and prioritizing remediation actions.

The VM service yields many benefits including:

Effective management of vulnerabilities associated with your critical Infrastructure components
Ability to scale in line with your evolving technology environment and attack surface
Seamless integration with other threat management services such as security monitoring, CTI and Threat Hunting
Detailed analysis of vulnerabilities including correlation of threats and events resulting in patched gaps and improved security posture

Boosting the cybersecurity nexus

Polaris, a natural resources company, engaged BDO Lixar to address shortfalls in their cybersecurity strategy. Following a comprehensive assessment, our team developed a custom plan that targeted three key components: people, processes, and technology. Our solution provided Polaris with resilient and scalable cybersecurity for today and tomorrow.
