Dexa Security SWOT for Protection from Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)

It’s happening every day, 24/7 – cyber attacks. According to a report published by the Repository of Industrial Security Incidents (RISI), for the calendar year of 2009, there were "175 confirmed [security] incidents". The report continues to state, “the vast majority of control system cyber security incidents (almost 50%), reported by RISI, have been caused by malware, including viruses, worms, and Trojans. However, incidents involving unauthorized access or sabotage perpetrated by internal sources – such as [a] disgruntled former employee or contractor who uses inside knowledge or access privileges to cause harm to the company – are up considerably in the same time period comparison. Also on the rise are incidents where network anomalies induced failures in control system equipment.”

How Do You Protect Your Organization from APT?

Unlike some security issues, APT cannot be addressed with a technology solution alone. Dexa Systems has partnered with Red Tiger Security, who utilizes a proprietary assessment methodology and employs a team of professional security hackers.  Dexa has also developed a security appliance, Dexa Trust™, for IT enterprise monitoring and management - this process of periodic checks and reviews can protect your information from unauthorized intruders and data thieves.

Dexa Systems Will Identify the Factors That Expose Your Enterprise to APT

• Dexa will map the current identify access and management processes and systems that are in place and report on the gaps that open the enterprise to hackers. Often, the use of single-factor authentication is enough to open an environment to cyber theft.
• Dexa will review all systems that hackers frequently target. For example, in the oil and gas, as well as healthcare, sectors SCADA systems are often exploited in a cyber attack. Hackers can shut an entire production facility down by targeting, often vulnerable SCADA systems, causing catastrophic failures.
• Dexa will investigate the use of Active Directory and domain controllers. If the use is not designed properly, a hacker can quickly sneak into the backdoor of these systems and start downloading your intellectual property and transactional data in a matter of minutes.
• Dexa will identify the soft spots in your firewall armor. Did you know that a hacker intrusion could look identical to sanctioned traffic on your network? That is why it is often never detected. With assistance from our strategic partner Red Tiger Security, we can tap into your systems, from a hacker’s perspective, we are able to reveal your firewall, switch, and router gaps.
