Organizations today face threats from nation-states to financially-motivated cybercriminals to socially active “hacktivitsts” to vindictive insiders. Each group deploys their own methods or TTPs. It would take near-unlimited resources to implement controls to address each and every threat. Facing overwhelming odds, should you throw up your hands and give up? Of course not. It is important to understand that not every threat is as likely to attack your organization as the next. Not every environment has the same vulnerabilities. And not every incident will have the same impact. Understanding the complex interplay of threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, and likelihoods is crucial. This “risk” insight empowers organizations so they know where and how to invest their limited resources. This analysis is at the heart of cyber risk prioritization and is essential to building an effective, defensible security strategy.
Tensyl works closely with our clients to identify, measure, and prioritize risks. We conduct security risk assessments that provide our clients with quick, actionable intel. Our proprietary approach allows us to develop customized information security strategies and roadmaps that place our clients in a defensible position, ready for when a security incident occurs (and it will). Our security risk assessments are unique in that they deploy a scientific approach to examining governance, operations, and technology risk factors. Unlike others, we do not focus exclusively on technology, because this ignores key organizational issues that may create security risks. In short, with a holistic perspective, we help our clients understand their true security risk profile so that they can make informed security risk decisions. Our cyber risk prioritization services include —
