Expertise, experience and advice
Cyber Security is a complex area, so having an expert who understands your business and technical needs will make a big difference. At Wire8, we’re committed to your success. We help you solve immediate challenges and work with you to achieve your Cyber Security goals.
Minimise Cyber Risk
We recommend a risk-based approach to Cyber Security as this helps you prioritise your resources on the most critical threats. Here are some strategic focus areas;
Understand your Assets
Ensure visibility to secure your IT environment. Without a clear view of your assets, safeguarding them becomes impossible. By gaining comprehensive visibility into your attack surface, you empower your organisation to take informed actions and make strategic decisions. We recommend using Qualys tools for this purpose.
Understand your vulnerabilities…and how to address them
Attackers don’t have to work hard if you offer them vulnerable or misconfigured assets.
Understanding your vulnerabilities means continuously scanning your IT environment, identifying and prioritising vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. Prioritisation is critical because not all vulnerabilities present an equal risk to your organisation, and your resources should be focused on the most important remediation.
The leader in this space is Qualys Vulnerability Management Detection and Response (VMDR) and we provide and support Qualys VMDR as a solution for you to manage, or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service.
Your public-facing web applications and APIs are part of your attack surface. You may assess using a Penetration Test (good idea) but what happens between tests?
To minimise risk every day, you should deploy automated regular scanning, developing actionable insights which help you identify, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities, strengthening your web application security posture.
If you have public-facing applications, we recommend Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) and we provide and support Qualys WAS as a solution for you to manage, or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service.
We all know the benefits of Cloud but misconfigurations can open security weaknesses like overly permissive access controls or insecure network configurations.
How do you know if you have them in your environment?
We recommend continuously monitoring your cloud assets, including storage, compute, databases, and network configurations, looking for deviations from best practices or compliance standards.
We recommend Qualys TotalCloud which we provide and support as a solution, or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service
Automate as much as you can
We all know IT Departments have a lot of priorities, and attracting and retaining top Cyber Security professionals is challenging. Meanwhile, cyber threats continue to evolve, and the requirements for robust security keeps growing.
This is why we recommend automating as many Cyber Security tasks as possible. Whether it’s automating Certificate Lifecycle Management, regular Patching or streamlining time-consuming Compliance Reporting, standards, automation will reduce the pressure on your team while improving security outcomes.
Make the most of your tools
Leading cyber tools like Qualys, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft E5 Security offer powerful protection—when they’re fully implemented and accurately tuned. Too often, we see tools left under-utilised or misconfigured, meaning they are not offering the full protection they were acquired for.
At Wire8, we implement these tools comprehensively and we help you get the most from your security investments by regularly reviewing and optimising your tools. This ensures they’re properly configured, giving you maximum protection while reducing noise.
Managed Detection & Response 24/7
While we focus on Essential Eight and the Identify and Protect pillars of NIST CSF, we know that many client want the best Incident Detection and Response service working for them. We recommend the clear leader – Falcon Complete delivered by CrowdStrike.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete provides 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting by CrowdStrike expert analysts, meaning that threats are detected and addressed in real-time. The service handles the entire incident response process, from detection to remediation, minimising the impact of any security breaches. With proactive threat management and continuous monitoring, Falcon Complete ensures your organisation is protected from both known and emerging threats, providing an enhanced security posture.
Manage Third-Party Risk
Do you know the security posture of the orgnaisations that you share data with? Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is an important part of your Cyber posture.
Effective TPRM will provide a comprehensive view of your partner’s security posture, enabling you to identify and mitigate risks across your supply chain. We understand that TPRM is labour-intensive which is why we introduce our Wire8Shield TPRM Managed Service with real-time monitoring of third-party security practices, allowing you to stay updated on potential risks and take proactive steps to protect your organisation. With detailed assessments and scoring, you can make data-driven decisions when selecting and managing vendors, ensuring they meet your security standards and reducing the risk of breaches.
We provide Third-Party Risk Management powered by SecurityScorecard, as a Wire8Shield Managed Service.
Modernise PKI and Certificate lifecycle management
Effectively handling Certificate lifecycles is crucial yet typically labour-intensive. Through our partnership with Keyfactor, we present a solution that automates every aspect of Certificate Lifecycle Management. From issuance and distribution to monitoring, seamless renewal, and timely revocation, we streamline the many manual processes involved in Certificate Management. Say goodbye to the risks and outages caused by expired or compromised certificates. Find out more here
