ACC cybersecurity risk assessment provides your business with an in-depth look at your current security posture. Our IT security services team identifies all your assets that could be affected by an attack, understands the risks associated with each element, helps you define what needs the most protection, and then provides a customized road map with short- and long-term milestones.

A vCISO is a service designed to make top-tier security experts available to you on an as-needed basis. Our vCISO talent can bring both strategic and operational leadership to those who can’t afford (or don’t need) a full-time resource but do need someone to provide consistent security expertise.

Passwords alone are no longer enough to protect your company against cyberattacks and data breaches. MFA protects your online data by ensuring that only verified users can access your business applications and services.

ACC’s IDR solution (also known as SIEM) actively monitors your network 24/7 for signs of an attack before they happen. It consists of three important layers, including an automated threat detection system, skilled security experts who review these alarms, and remediation that happens in near real-time, without interrupting your business. Intrusion detection systems are considered a must-have!

Antivirus software may protect you from the simplest attacks, but it’s unlikely to be capable of protecting against sophisticated modern hacking techniques. ACC’s Endpoint Detection and Response service uses powerful AI to stop attackers in their tracks—even when your devices are outside the office firewall—backed by a 24/7 SOC that further analyzes any additional undetected threats.

Most legacy networks are not equipped to deal with the sophistication and frequency of today’s cyberattacks. Assess your infrastructure thoroughly to determine network security viability, then create a prioritized plan to address any deficiencies. Next-generation firewalls provide more comprehensive threat protection, including application control, intrusion protection, antivirus, and deep packet inspection.

All applications, operating systems, and security software should be reviewed regularly, and software updates and security patches should be subsequently applied. Identify any software that the manufacturer or provider no longer supports, so it can be upgraded or replaced.

In today’s digital business environment, applications, workflows, and information need to move seamlessly across environments — and your cybersecurity strategies must follow. As the “network edge” becomes more fluid and harder to clearly define, focus on closing vulnerabilities wherever they may be. This means quickly detecting compromises and responding to those compromises in a rapid, comprehensive, and appropriate way. To do so, you must have in place the right intrusion detection system and security incident response plan.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides an excellent reference resource for securing data and physical assets. Although it’s natural to focus on the “cyber” aspect of cybersecurity, physical security is still critical. Restricting or denying access to computers, servers, and data centers is an integral part of protecting digital assets, as is educating users on effective physical security protocols.

From phishing to pharming to inadvertent acts of negligence, employees are often your biggest risk vector. Therefore, one of the most effective ways to protect your organization is to create a culture of cybersecurity, where training is an ongoing process and your staff understands exactly which behaviors to avoid or embrace.

A structured risk assessment can help identify and address significant security gaps that may be putting your company’s data, digital assets, and network at risk. A typical assessment involves defining the system, identifying threats, determining the potential impact, analyzing the environment, and finally calculating the associated security risk.
