Professional Cybersecurity & Penetration Testing Services

If you have the wallet saved to your hardware (i.e. hard drive, laptop, or other device), then we will happily help you regain access to your cryptocurrencies.

We do suggest that you leave the device powered off until a prefessional team can begin the recovery.

Digital Forensics is a formal process of analysis used by security experts after a security incident has occurred. This process can help the organization perform a root-cause analysis or prepare for potential court proceedings.

Incident Response, often shortened to “IR”, is the immediate protocols and steps an organization and their cybersecurity team takes after an incident has occurred. Incident Response Planning “IRP” is a critical component that should be addressed before an incident has occurred.

According to IBM Newsroom, in 2021, the average cost per incident was $4.24 million – the highest in 17 years.

Ransomware – Ransomware is unauthorized malicious software that is installed on networked systems, allowing the attacker to encrypt and lock systems until a ransom is paid to the attackers. Payment is typically made through cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.

DDoS – or Distributed Denial of Service attack, is when the attacker tries to make a network system or application inaccessible to its intended users by flooding the system with large amounts of traffic, effectively denying access to legitimate users.

Drive-By Downloads – Drive-By Downloads are unintentional downloads of malicious code due to out-of-date software.

Zero-day – Zero-days are recently discovered vulnerabilities where the vendor hasn’t yet developed a security patch, allowing hackers an opportunity for attack.

MitM Attacks – when an attacker positions himself in between communications and eavesdrops for information or impersonates another individual to gain information.

Phishing Email – Phishing emails are a social engineering attack in which an attacker sends a fake message to an employee asking them to take an action. When the action is made, it helps provide the attacker increased access to systems or sensitive information.

Ensure you are participating in information security best practices.

Perform regular penetration tests and vulnerability assessments to recognize and mitigate vulnerabilities before they become a problem.

Train your employees on social engineering attempts and how to protect themselves.

Practice separation of duties between employees to ensure work is being double checked for integrity.

Ensure your physical infrastructure is properly protecting sensitive hardware, data storage, and company information from unauthorized access.

Vulnerability assessments are high-level tests that scans security systems and reports any vulnerabilities found. These assessments are often automated and tend to ignore the human element of a potential breach. Vulnerability scanners search for known vulnerabilities but are unable to identify previously undiscovered vulnerabilities.

A penetration test is performed by a certified penetration tester to actively exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities and determine an organization’s risk level. Penetration testing uses a thorough real-world approach to finding vulnerabilities and determining the severity of those weaknesses.

Vulnerability assessments cannot predict human behavior. 95% of all cybercrime is caused by human error. Penetration testing allows for exploitation of human error and identifies vulnerability within the organization’s processes, structures, and infrastructure, as well as their security systems. Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing should both be performed routinely and remediation efforts should always be acted upon.
