Cyber Strategy and Implementation Incident Response Forensic Investigations CISO Interim Management Training
Cyber risk should be a Board-level priority. There is an increasing risk of disruption to businesses from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks; increased risk of damage from loss of intellectual property; and data protection concerns relating to personal details of customers and employees. Regulators are becoming more aggressive in issuing fines, and the EU is proposing to introduce strict rules that include mandatory reporting of cyber breaches within short-time periods. Associated legal fees and management costs often spiral. Cyber risk cannot be solved with technology alone, as cyber criminals exploit the weakest link in the chain people. Certain business processes, employee behaviours and poor discipline in the use of technology increase the risk of a cyber attack. At the same time, IT departments are frequently ill-equipped and many lack the authority to manage cyber risk.
Incident Response
A&M can respond quickly to any cyber crisis; teams of Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSPs) and Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are able to meet Incident Response (IR) requirements across Europe and abroad. The teams have managed the information security operations for large corporations and government institutions.
Forensic Investigations
A&M uses its deep forensic investigations experience to identify the causes of breaches or leakages. Who was involved? What was compromised? Where was the point of entry? When did the breach take place? How did it occur? Our experts gather the facts, submit Expert Reports and present evidence in Court, as necessary.
Case Studies
Our clients include FTSE 100 companies, public sector bodies, including regulators, law enforcement authorities, global and regional law firms, and their clients.
Incident Response
Following a breach of computing systems, a sovereign tax authority required assistance in creating an information security programme to protect taxpayer data. A&M developed policies, procedures and long-term recommendations for securing the sensitive information.
Forensic Investigations
