IT & Security Services - FAQs
Top five barriers in addressing cybersecurity challenges:
1. Lack of sufficient funding.
2. Inadequate availabiliy of cybersecurity professionals.
3. Lack of documented processes.
4. Increasing sophistication of threats.
5. Lack of visibility and influence within the enterprise.
The recent ransomware attacks affected hundreds of thousands of organisations globally, including leading organisations in India. The ransomware, rendered systems useless by encrypting user files and demanding a ransom to be paid via Bitcoin.
The key towards preventing any cyber-attack is first by strengthening basic IT and cybersecurity processes, and strengthening the human element – making users aware of cyber threats, and giving them the knowledge to be able to identify a potential attack.
RAFOPS – Security has a very well defined methodology that covers over 100 areas of cyber security for small and medium businesses. These areas are based on industry standards and governance requirements that are applicable to your market. We use both quantifiable and qualified information to find the gaps in your current posture. We use a combination of scanning tools, workshops and our own modeling to find and address gaps that will enable your business to address risks. Using this model we identify all known risks, and give you recommendations on how to address them. You then make business decisions on where you want to take your strategy, with our help.

Protecting data is only one part of an overall security program. You may have other risks or liabilities including preventing mistakes, misuse by insider threats, malicious attacks that can compromise your systems, partners, customers, or even employees. Your liability goes far beyond just the data. There are requirements to protect your financial systems from targeted hacks such as wire transfer fraud, theft of employee confidential information, and company intellectual property. Poorly executed governance and compliance may result in government assessed fees and fines. Security breaches may cause significant disruption to business operations. Can your company survive if your computers are down for a week? A month? What if your building is damaged beyond repair? Each consideration is part of the business enablement methodology provided by RAFOPS – Security.
