Cyber Risk Assessment

How do you know you are not already compromised?

You have your security controls in place. Check. You conduct ongoing scans, tests, and patching with third-party tools. Check. You are confident your business is protected and your critical systems and sensitive data are secure. You’d better double-check. How do you really know your business is secure?

The Cyber Defense team at K2 Intelligence conducts cyber risk assessments in a completely different way that gives you true confidence in your security posture. K2 Intelligence takes an aggressive, ‘outside in’ approach to safely expose vulnerabilities, potential threats, and gaps in your existing security controls. We use reliable, controlled processes that are proven by world-class cybersecurity experts. Our experienced team has led hands-on investigations for government and intelligence agencies, uncovering and resolving some of the most sophisticated, high-profile, and significant cyber attacks. We conduct tailored assessments that are aligned with regulatory demands to uncover what your digital footprint looks like inside and outside of your organization.

Security tools do one thing and humans do another. Compared to standard assessments, K2 Intelligence provides in-depth assessments without being provided much information about the organization’s internal network, security, processes, and procedures. The cyber risk assessment results in a cyber risk report with prioritized actionable intelligence so clients can take action and focus on the issues that have the greatest impact.

Services include:

Vulnerability Assessments

The first thing you need is a clear understanding of where you are most vulnerable. The last thing you need is one more report that just lists hundreds of problems that you don’t have time, resources or budget to fix. Where do you even begin?

K2 Intelligence brings the same holistic approach to our vulnerability assessment engagements as we do our entire cyber defense practice: Assess. Respond. Defend. We conduct superior vulnerability scans, provide comprehensive results, actionable intelligence, and a mitigation plan and that works for you. Not only do we tell you where you have security gaps and how to fix them, we prioritize the key concerns based on business impact and deliver a roadmap that is realistic for your business. Our Cyber Defense team works with you throughout the entire process to fix the high priority issues and prevent them from happening again.

Penetration Tests

Penetration tests (pen tests) let you know if attackers can actually breach your systems and what information they can get access. Ongoing penetration testing is a security best practice; however, you don’t want the fox watching the henhouse, leading to a false sense of security. When it comes to penetration tests, an external perspective for oversight is essential.

Unlike standard third-party penetration tests, K2 Intelligence conducts controlled ‘outside in’ penetration tests, social engineering, and simulations of sophisticated and advanced persistent threats (APT), taking the approach a true hacker or cybercriminal might take.

With very little knowledge about how the internal network is configured or what security measures are in place, K2 Intelligence relies on the experience of our people, proven processes, and stellar technology to deliver true ‘black box’ testing results and prioritized remediation plans. Knowing how an adversary can get in and what they can access enables our team to quickly fix the issues and further safeguard your infrastructure and critical data.

Incident Response Planning Review

When a cybersecurity incident occurs, you need to act fast. Time is money and you can’t afford to lose either. You need a solid incident response plan that you can rely on. If you wait until you really need it, it will be too late.

Your team should know exactly where to go, what to do, who to call, and how to quickly follow a clear plan of action to mitigate the impact.

K2 Intelligence has extensive experience with incident response on a national level, providing advice, guidance, and service to government agencies and global Fortune 100 companies for some of the most noteworthy incidents. Based on our real-world experience, we work with your IT, legal, HR, and public relations departments to make sure your entire organization is coordinated and understands the chain of events, communications processes, and is prepared to collectively manage the incident, internally and externally, to mitigate its effects.
