Cyber Defence Management

Cyber Defence Strategy

Applxbridge can help you build a relevant Cyber Defence Strategy for your business.

With the current highly publicised nature of data breaches, it’s easier than ever for executives and risk auditors to understand the serious financial and reputational damage caused as a direct result of cyber-attacks. This means taking action to prevent unwanted lessons.

Our strategy planning effort typically includes:

Classifying assets, applications, and data that need protection
Defining threats such as external attacks, natural disasters, and employee mistakes that can impact business continuity: indirectly, immediate, and long-term
Infrastructure Configuration Management controls for technical teams
Access Controls for centralised user authentication and authorisation methods
Network access and design, which influences the effort needed to compromise key systems
Auditability: proper logs help identify issues before they become security incidents

Applxbridge reviews and optimizes your existing defence plan as a managed service, or can guide your team as part of a new process. The key to a winning defensive strategy is having a solid plan, which is implemented and maintained by a team you trust.

Cybersecurity analytics and operations are getting more difficult. As a McAfee® Managed Services Specialized Partner with certified skills, we install, establish, and manage a single console (McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®) for all your security management.

Security management requires cumbersome juggling between tools and data. This puts the adversary at an advantage by offering more time to exploit the gap not seen between the tools. The benefits of a centrally managed console are:

Comprehensive views and insight to proactively address internal and external security issues
Open framework for broad security management of systems
Integrates with and leverages existing IT infrastructure
Swift centralized deployment of security updates
Accelerated response times through actionable dashboards and advanced queries
Improved Reporting
Foster collaboration between your team and existing Service Providers

Integrated Security Management

Cloud Protection

Modern IT architecture is anchored in cloud services and the devices that connect to them. Digital transformation is accelerated when devices and the cloud are secure. Technology can then be used to its full potential.

Moving your productivity suite to Office 365 enables rapid collaboration, whilst AWS and Azure deliver operations that support the customer journey with more agility. Unfortunately, the theft of data, or an attacker gaining entry to your cloud infrastructure stops business development in its tracks.

As a McAfee® Managed Services Specialized Partner with certified skills, we can implement a secure web gateway technology to protect every device, user, and location from sophisticated internet threats.

From web filtering and anti-malware scanning to deep content inspection and granular control over how cloud applications are used, McAfee® Web Protection delivers the security, controls, and deployment flexibility needed for enterprise security. Whether you are looking for the control of an on-premises solution, the unlimited scale and low cost of a cloud service, or a hybrid combination of the two, McAfee Web Protection empowers you to deploy web security the way that best fits your current and changing needs.

As cloud security professionals, Applxbridge has a deep knowledge of identity access management (IAM), cloud regulatory compliance, and monitoring.

Applxbridge supports Nagios. Nagios is known for being the best server monitoring software on the market. Server monitoring is made easy in Nagios because of the flexibility to monitor servers with both agent-based and agentless monitoring.

Implementing effective application monitoring with Nagios allows your business to quickly detect application, service, or process problems, and take action to eliminate downtime for your application users. Nagios provides tools for monitoring of applications and application states, including Windows applications, Linux applications, UNIX applications, and Web applications.

Unified Threat Management (UTM)

Today’s businesses are dealing with many challenges and opportunities. Growing business is obviously the number one priority. As businesses grow they add employees, offices, computing devices, and business applications. These must be networked for individuals and information to be accessible – anytime anywhere – to serve customers, spur growth and improve profitability. Business applications need to be available 24/7 and from any device. This means having to deal with threats impacting business agility. Faster infrastructure and greater security are vital for sustaining business growth whilst important resources and time may be limited in their availability.
