Cassidian CyberSecurity and Netasq launch a new 7 Step Approach to combat cyber attacks in the Middle East.
As organizations need a trusted partner with the expertise to manage and execute a comprehensive response plan, Cassidian CyberSecurity has developed a 7 Step Approach, combining expertise, processes and tools, which have never been used before, to successfully combat APTs – raising awareness, initial check, deeper analysis, cleaning, reconnection, recovery and remote supervision.
– Step 1: Prevention, awareness-raising of top management, through publications, communications and meetings with CEOs.
– Step 2: APT check: pragmatic approach. Cassidian CyberSecurity offers a diagnosis phase first analysis once all fields have been covered.
– Step 3: When diagnosis are positive (i.e the network is compromised) Cassidian CyberSecurity starts the forensics phase. It is during this phase that we look for incidents, with an experts team on site, working with the client. Progressively, the exact attack nature becomes clearer.
– Step 4: Cassidian CyberSecurity defines all attack markers in order to get ready for the "cleaning" process.
– Step 5: Remediation: suppression of every detected malware and attacks signals. This phase must be prepared efficiently and carried out as fast as possible.
– Step 6: Recovery: Cassidian CyberSecurity follows up with the client within the necessary time to reinforce its defences and make sure the system has been appropriately cleaned.
– Step 7: Remote supervision: Cassidian CyberSecurity provides a dedicated supervision service.
