Cyber risk assessments are more than just a diagnostic tool—they’re a pathway to proactive and effective cybersecurity. Let me share how one organisation turned vulnerabilities into resilience by conducting a
comprehensive cyber risk assessment.
The Challenge:
A mid-sized manufacturing company was struggling to protect its growing network of systems. The leadership team was concerned about
the
following:
- Rising threats like ransomware and phishing.
- A lack of visibility into vulnerabilities across its operations.
- Potential downtime and reputational damage in the event of an attack.
They had no clear understanding of their risks, leaving them reactive rather than proactive in their cybersecurity efforts.
The Cyber365 Solution:
Through a tailored Cyber Risk Assessment, we helped them:
- Identify Critical Vulnerabilities: Unpatched systems and misconfigured network settings were leaving them exposed.
- Prioritise Action: We provided a roadmap that prioritised addressing high-risk areas first, ensuring the best use of their resources.
- Empower Employees: Training staff on recognising phishing attempts and social engineering attacks significantly reduced human error.
The Results:
- Reduced Risks by 60%: Within six months, the company closed critical vulnerabilities, reducing exposure to threats.
- No Downtime from Attacks: By taking a proactive approach, they prevented incidents that could have caused costly operational disruptions.
- Improved Stakeholder Confidence: Leadership and customers gained confidence knowing the organisation had a robust plan.
