Hacker Hardened™

At Ascot Barclay we have over the past fifteen years or so developed our 5M strategic approach towards moving our clients towards becoming Hacker Hardened™, the 5M’s we recommend are:

• MANAGE – Supply of experienced CISO and senior security leadership capabilities and cyber security resources to complement, deliver or lead the CISO office or support an efficient and effective security Target Operating Model (ToM). (Also see CISO Fingerprint)
• MEASURE – Capture your current security posture and level of risk exposure. Baseline your cyber and security controls and maturity level to define and inform your business strategy, policy, budget and critical defensive projects and security capabilities.
• MONITOR – Provide real time oversight of your security estate, identify areas that are potentially open to exploitation. Monitor for anomalies and changes in network behaviour to identify possible internal and external breaches. Provides executive insight for improved decision making.
• MITIGATE – Penetration and adversarial Red Team Testing to identify gaps across; physical security, digital (cyber) security (IT & OT/ICS) and associated human factors. Prioritise mitigation strategies and solutions based on your level of risk appetite, threat landscape, availability of budgets, your cultural and resourcing requirements.
• MAINTAIN – Virtual or aaS on-going executive oversight and management of your security estate. Recognising the business, legislative and security threat landscape changes frequently we help you achieve and maintain HACKER HARDENED (TM) status on going. Let us manage your security for you.
