THE RIGHT CYBERSECURITY PARTNER MUST COVER ALL BASES

Adigitally transforming world has catapulted business towards new tech-driven opportunities. Although there has never been a better time to succeed through innovation, these techdriven opportunities also come with new tech-driven threats.

None are more aware of the omnipresent cyber threat than those who are responsible for the digital integrity of our country’s public sector. This sector has become an attractive target for cybercriminals, which has unfortunately been made evident by the high number of attacks on key state institutions.

According to the latest KnowBe4 and IDC Impact of Cyberextortion on Africa report, data leakages, insider threats, ransomware attacks, cloud-related attacks, and targeted attacks using phishing are the biggest cyber threat to African businesses.

If the public sector is unable to meet these threats head-on, government will lose control, giving cybercriminals power over countries, government, and in the end, citizens. It is up to the public sector to find the right cybersecurity partner to mitigate these ever-evolving risks and provide the economic and personal protection that tax-paying citizens deserve.

Altron Systems Integration combines best-in-class technology and cutting-edge analytics together with its experienced engineers to offer its customers bespoke solutions that meet their needs – many of which include some of the highest profile organisations in the public sector.

By using a layered approach with data in the centre, private data, intellectual property, cyber infrastructure, and even military and national security can be compromised by deliberate attacks, inadvertent security lapses, and the vulnerabilities of a relatively immature, unregulated global Internet. Altron Systems Integration helps organisations plan and execute an integrated cyber approach to harness the power of information networks to enhance business operations, increase mission performance, and improve customer support, without compromising security or privacy.

As a partner on the journey to security, Altron Systems Integration offers the following services:

Consultation Services

Consultative services advisors advise and assist organisations, from performing a gap analysis right through to achieving the Gold Standard.

The Centre of Information Security (CIS) is a good governance framework that not only positions an organisation better strategically, especially now with POPIA having been enacted, but it also decreases Information Security Risk.

Network Operations Centre (NOC)

A network operations centre (NOC) is a centralised location where IT teams can continuously monitor the performance and health of a network. Altron Systems Integration recognised the need for NOC as a Service (NOCaaS) to supplement its efforts to support the three main components of Information Security:

• Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability

NOCaaS also allows for the obvious added operational benefits of efficiency and capacity management, enhancing situational awareness within a particular environment.

Security Operations Centre (SOC)

A SOC is a centralised unit that deals with security issues on an organisational and technical level. Managing a SOC is a costly Offering it as a service gives access to world-class enterprise-grade technology and threat intelligence under 247-365 scrutiny by skilled analysts, allowing an organisation to focus on its core business.

Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS)

Vulnerability Management is essential for cyber defence control. The effectiveness of a vulnerability management program is understanding the risk profile in context and then having the flexibility and adaptability to plan and react accordingly.

Secure Gateway Managed Firewalls

Managing perimeter security, which requires a high level of expertise, is critical in preventing costly breaches and maintaining the integrity of an organisation’s infrastructure.

Altron Systems Integration’s cost-effective Intrusion Protection Service (IPS) and firewall services provide customers with the vital skills and knowledge necessary to manage existing technology while also keeping pace with the rising complexity of threats and cyber-attacks. Securing public sector systems and data requires a collective solution. Even the most powerful and comprehensive security solution can be undermined by careless or negligent behaviour – which is unfortunately rife in many public sector organisations.

Educating IT and end-users is a core component of an effective defence strategy. Altron Systems Integration has a very simple and efficient Cyber Awareness Programme that tracks employee’s participation and competencies.

Incident Response and Cyber Forensics

When a cyberattack gets through security, time is of the essence in order to understand how to mitigate future attacks. This is a highly specialised field and extremely sensitive area that requires an innate understanding of the processes, rules, and regulations involved.

For this reason, Altron Systems Integration has a strategic partnership with South Africa’s longest-running Cyber Forensics and Incident Response firm.

Secure Hosting

If your website or database is attacked, you could lose all your data. If you don’t have a secure host backing up your data, all could be lost – which is particularly distressing in the public sector.

With Altron Systems Integration, Secure Hosting is inclusive of all the services with the addition of Managed Endpoint Protection and Disaster Recovery.
