We assess your business risks through threat analysis and evaluation, then design Security Architecture and Risk Management strategies for effective risk avoidance or reduction. Our goal is to help you address real business risks. Explore some of our core areas of expertise, emerging and traditional focus areas below.
Cyber Resilience
Cyber resiliency involves 1)
Anticipating likely attack techniques and lateral movements/privilege escalations, 2) designing mission-critical activities to
Withstand such threats, 3)
Recovering from such threats, and 4)
Adapting to the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. This approach prepares organizations to handle adverse cyber stresses, attacks, or compromises. It aligns closely with Zero Trust Architecture principles by predicting potential actions of threat actors, assuming breaches, and protecting against lateral movement and privilege escalation. If you are looking for a focused perspective, we can help you strategically focus on cyber resilience principles, goals, and objectives.
Zero Trust Architecture
Zero Trust Architectures operate on the principle that no entity, based on location alone, is inherently trusted. Every user, device and device security posture is identified and pre-authenticated before access is granted. Access is monitored, adjusted or denied if there are any changes in the device or user risk. Users are provided least-privilege Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access access required combined with data protection to enhance the security of the data. Machine to machine communications is protected via micro segmentation to prevent lateral movement. If you are navigating Zero Trust Architectures and looking for practical approaches, we can help.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is often the go-to framework for measuring and enhancing technical security. The latest CSF 2.0 added a Govern function to cover organizational context; risk management strategy; cybersecurity supply chain risk management; roles, responsibilities, and authorities; policies, processes, and procedures; and oversight. This addition complements the Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover functions. NIST CSF provides an ideal framework if you want to assess and enhance your technical security posture, or to help measure progress over time.
Enterprise Network Security Architectures
Are you responsible for the operations of a large critical network, an Operator of Essential Services, or perhaps just want to ensure best practice network security controls are implemented appropriately to the risk, and using modern security architecture controls? Do you need a second set of eyes to help your Security Strategy, Design, Validation, Implementation, or Assessment of the critical network infrastructure? Let our experience in large-scale critical networks help
ISO-27001 Information Security Risk Management
Do you require Security Strategy, Governance, Risk and Compliance Services from a reliable, certified and experienced senior security specialist ? Alternatively, are you looking to take the next step by preparing your Information Security Management System (ISMS) for official accreditation under the ISO-27001:2022 standard? Let Verus Risk Management help by engaging an experienced and certified ISO-27001:2022 implementation expert who has proven record in assisting multiple companies in the past with ISO-27001 Information Security Management System.
Cryptography and PKI Solutions
Are you developing a PKI, key management or cryptographic solution, or using an Enterprise Active Directory CA for 802.1X and PKINIT Kerberos Authentication ? Misconfigured Active Directory Certificate Services are a very common method to administratively compromise and maintain access to an Entire Active Directory. In addition, mishandling elements such as the Certificate Authorities, EKU and SAN assignments, key lifetimes, misuse of algorithms, modes, IVs can jeopardize the integrity of your key management or PKI architecture. And what about Quantum Computing ? Let Verus Risk Management help with validation or design of your solution.
Enterprise Architecture
Are you responsible for an enterprise architecture? Whether data center, hybrid, or cloud first, Verus Risk Management can help your security architecture design, validation and overall strategy. From concept to deployment and validation, we prioritize operational and security resilience through zero trust architecture, cyber resilience principles, secure by design, secure by default, and risk based security best practices. Led by a seasoned Security Architect(s) with proficiency in contemporary methodologies, frameworks and tools we are committed to delivering reliable, secure and resilient security solutions.
In-Depth Penetration Testing and Assurance
Are you looking to assess the technical security of your Perimeter, VPN, Private Cloud, IAM/SSO or Web/API/Mobile Application? Proactive Penetration Testing enables you to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors, ensuring the protection of your digital assets and data.
