Vulnerability Assessments
Our vulnerability assessments service encapsulates a process to identify, classify, report on and provide remediation advice for the security weaknesses of a constituent’s IT infrastructure. It entails a scan to uncover exploitable weaknesses in network devices, servers and systems. The results are manually verified and then compiled into an easy-to-read, actionable report.
Announcements
Our announcements service aims to provide information that is useful to the constituency for mitigating the occurrence of information security incidents / malicious activity. Each “post” is categorised as either an alert, advisory or article. We use a combination of automated information gathering, manual verification or supplementation and third party sources to obtain and generate this information.
Resources
Our resources service offer a collection of cybersecurity incident response playbooks, with each playbook providing a set of pre-defined steps and procedures that outline how to response to a specific type of cybersecurity incident. The playbooks offer incident managers and stakeholders with a consistent approach to follow when remediating a cybersecurity incident.
