Cyber security
“The knock-on effect of a data breach can be devastating for a company. When customers start taking their business—and their money—elsewhere, that can be a real body blow.”
j.awan & partners cybersecurity division is designed to leverage the collective strengths of threat-informed reactive and proactive strategic and technical expertise to assist organisations in responding in time and effectively to threats while also proactively strengthening security maturity and cyber resilience.
Our cybersecurity offering includes the following:
Advisory and assessment services
We evaluate an organisation’s cybersecurity controls and their effectiveness to mitigate risks. These risk assessments are undertaken in the context of your organisation’s business objectives rather than as a checklist. This enables you to effectively assess your vulnerability to cyber-attacks and their impact on your business.
Proactive incident response
We help businesses understand the value of proactive cyber security and implement the required tools, rather than waiting for a cyber-attack. The proactive incident response focuses on preventing one from occurring in the first place before vulnerabilities are exploited, or malware has access to server resources.
Penetration testing
Our experts look for weaknesses in servers, networks, web applications, mobile devices, and other potential entry points. Considering reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks. Post completion, we assist you in developing and implementing the relevant controls to address weaknesses identified during the test.
Application security testing
Application security testing (AST) is the practice of enhancing the resistance of applications against security threats by discovering security flaws and vulnerabilities in their source code. Our security experts delve deeper into static application security testing (SAST) a white box method of testing, and dynamic application security testing (DAST) a black box method of testing that examines an application while it is running to recognize vulnerabilities an attacker could exploit.
Blue team testing
The blue team first gathers data, documents exactly what needs to be protected and carries out a risk assessment. They then tighten up access to the system in many ways, including introducing stronger password policies and educating staff to ensure they understand and conform to security procedures.
Blue teams then perform risk assessments by identifying threats against each asset and the weaknesses these threats can exploit. By evaluating the risks and prioritizing it, the blue team develops an action plan to implement controls that can lower the impact or likelihood of threats materializing against assets.
Red team testing
Our cybersecurity red team testing is a considerably larger approach to penetration testing that simulates the methods of real-world attackers to determine the practicality of an attack. These examinations are frequently conducted to assess the organisation’s security controls, threat intelligence and incident response protocols.
