Introducing Threat Evolution, Our New Cyber Security Division

Ransomware, phishing, data leakage, hacking and insider threat were identified by the ICAEW as the top five cyber security risks.

If your business does not have active, up-to-date risk mitigation procedures in place for all the above it is only a matter of time before it is victim to cyber crime – a fate that almost half of UK businesses are expected face every year (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport).

At Magenta Security, we believe that the fundamentals of cyber security overlap with physical security. Whether in a physical site or a virtual environment, staff must be aware of areas of vulnerability, how to identify threats and what strategies are in place to respond to them.

With the rise of home-working and most daily business operations moving entirely online, there are more virtual unlocked windows and gaps in the fence than ever before. It was only natural that Magenta Security would step in to secure them.

Cyber security assessment, training and consultation from Magenta Security

Threat Evolution is Magenta Security’s new specialist cyber security division. Threat Evolution offers a holistic cyber security assessment, training and consultation service which identifies all cyber security threats to your business and combats them with essential countermeasures and cyber crime education.

• Cyber security awareness training: your staff are the most likely source of a leak – give them the knowledge and experience to identify, report and respond to threats instead of fall for them.
• Phishing exercises: by sending out dummy phishing schemes, your staff can be tested on their ability to recognise suspicious communications and receive further training if necessary.
• Vulnerability scanning: much like our site risk assessments, vulnerability scanning assesses your entire virtual business environment to discover and eliminate weaknesses.
• Penetration testing: an ethical hacker (who is luckily on your side) will attempt to “break in” to your systems in the ultimate cyber security test for your business.
• Cyber security consultant: few businesses have in-house cyber security experts but we can set you up with the next best thing with a dedicated cyber security consultant.

By utilising the same cyber security platform as HM Government, the NHS and Credit Suisse, Threat Evolution endeavours to protect your virtual environment with evidence-led, practical, client-specific strategies that have protected businesses and institutions that are under constant attack.

If evidence-led, practical and client-specific sounds familiar, that’s because those are the same principles that we have used to differentiate our traditional security services for more than three decades. This new environment may be virtual, but our values are the same.

With training and more from Threat Evolution, you have the Magenta Security guarantee that you, your staff and your systems are ready to operate securely within the ever-changing world of virtual business.
