Cyber Intelligent Partners

​

 

To be proactively prepared for a Cyber or Insider Threat attack, can your C-Suite assess why your organization is likely to be attacked and what the impact is to your business?  

Michelle Watson, President & CEO, CIP

current cyber risk climate

Most organizations today rely primarily on IT and technology solutions to develop and manage their cybersecurity platform, yet this is only half of the solution.

​

The other half of a holistic cybersecurity strategy is a non-IT based security strategy that incorporates human, cyber, and other threat intelligence - including geopolitical realities of today, and an organization's mission, risk profile, vulnerabilities, capabilities, and adversaries. 

​

In order to maintain the most effective cybersecurity posture, organizations must integrate their technology teams, risk analysis teams, and decision-makers into a holistic cybersecurity program.

​

“A breach is not an IT problem. It’s a business problem. The C-suite needs to be hands-on."  

   -Vitor DeSouza, VP of Global Communications at FireEye Inc. 

What do Target, Sony Pictures, Anthem and OPM, have in common, other than they were all victims of catastrophic cyber-attacks? 

​

Each spent over $100 million on “great” cybersecurity - IT-focused systems, and erroneously instilled a belief this sufficient to be“secure”.  But, these and other similar companies were spending tremendous amounts of money on only half of a necessary cybersecurity program. 

​

 

 

 

A successful cybersecurity program requires a business solution, as well as a technology solution. 

 

​

Why is your organization a potential target?

“The lack of awareness by executives on the state of their cybersecurity protocols and training initiatives is alarming, and puts them at a serious disadvantage against cyber attackers." -BAE Systems “Cyber Security Survey Report 2016”

At CIP, we believe a robust cybersecurity program must integrate a cyber intelligence platform.

​

​

The motivations and means employed by cyber adversaries provide clues to their future operations and tactics, enabling a proactive approach to cyber defense.

The more sophisticated your understanding of WHY threat actors would potentially target your organization, the more effectively you can protect your organization from future attacks.
