Minimising Cyber Risk
Count on us. We bring decades of experience to help you identify, prioritise, and reduce your Cyber Risks — working closely with your team every step of the way.
At Wire8, we understand the challenge. Cyber Security is complex, and it’s now a critical topic in the Boardroom. That’s why we approach cyber as a business risk. We help you assess, identify, prioritise and reduce Cyber Risk using leading Frameworks and world-class tools.
Our expertise comes from working with complex regulated organisations, and we put that experience to work for you.
It is important to quantify and communicate cyber risk in a way that is clear and actionable for Boards and Executives and aligns with leading frameworks such as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 —supporting informed decisions and strong governance.
We help you focus on reducing common entry points for attackers — stolen credentials and known vulnerabilities—aligned with the Identity and Protect pillars of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and Essential Eight. Understand your attack surface and prioritise the risks that matter most, and by addressing them, strengthen your defences and reduce the likelihood of a breach.
We aim to be your trusted, long-term Cyber Partner. Experienced , practical support to help you build you cyber security capabilities, today and into the future.

Expertise, experience and advice
Cyber Security is a complex area, so having an expert Partner who understands your business and your technical environment will make a big difference. At Wire8, we’re committed to your success – solving immediate challenges and working with you to measure and reduce your Cyber Risks.
A single view of Cyber Risk
It is essential to take a risk-based approach to Cyber Security. Like most organisations, you have risk information in disparate tools like EDR, VMDR and Identity. Bring this data into a single view has been impossible before the introduction of the Qualys Risk Operations Centre (ROC).
By consolidating data from multiple tools, Qualys ROC provides a single, real-time view of your Cyber Risk across assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats. It helps you prioritise what matters most by correlating business context with threat intelligence and exploitability. With this unified visibility, your teams can respond faster, reduce risk more efficiently, and eliminate blind spots. It also enables clear reporting to executives and Boards, with metrics aligned to frameworks like NIST CSF and Essential Eight.
Understand your Assets
Without a clear view of your assets, safeguarding all of them is 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.
Effective Vulnerability Management 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 Vulnerability Management Detection and Response (VMDR) is Qualys and we provide and support Qualys VMDR as a solution, or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service.
Your public-facing web applications and APIs are part of your attack surface. You may assess them with a Penetration Test (good idea) but what happens between tests?
As vulnerabilities emerge, you stay ahead by by deploying automated regular scanning. Every scan will produce actionable insights to identify, prioritise and help you remediate vulnerabilities, strengthening your web application security posture.
If you have public-facing applications, we recommend Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) which we provide as a solution or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service.
We all know the benefits of Cloud but misconfigurations will open security weaknesses. Examples are 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 gaps – deviations from best practices.
We recommend Qualys TotalCloud which we provide and support as a solution, or as a Wire8Shield Managed Service
Automate as much as you can
IT teams are already stretched, which is why automation is the smart way to lighten the load.
We help organisations automate key Cyber Security tasks — like managing PKI Certificates, patching systems, and simplifying compliance reporting — so your team can focus on higher-value priorities, while security keeps improving in the background.
Make the most of your tools
Leading tools like Qualys, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft (Business Premium, E3 and E5) will provide strong protection — but only if they’re set up and tuned correctly.
Too often, we see organisations invest in these tools but not use them to their full potential, leaving gaps in protection.
At Wire8, we make sure your tools are properly implemented, regularly reviewed, and fully optimised. That means better security, less noise, and more value from your investment.
Managed Detection & Response 24/7
Having expert “eyes on glass” to proactively operate a Managed Detection and Response is a standard requirement for most organisations.
In our experience, no one delivers managed detection and response better than the global vendors themselves. That’s why we offer CrowdStrike Falcon Complete and Sophos MDR — proven solutions built and run by the people who know the tools best.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete offers more than just traditional EDR—it delivers a fully managed threat detection, investigation, and response service, backed by CrowdStrike’s elite team of security experts. Beyond EDR, the service can be expanded to include protection to identity infrastructure and cloud workloads meaning your organisation is protected from both known and emerging threats.
Sophos MDR goes beyond traditional EDR by delivering a fully managed security operations service that includes threat hunting, incident response, and continuous monitoring across your entire environment. It can integrate telemetry from firewalls, cloud services, email security, and third-party tools to provide a broader view of threats, not just endpoint activity.
Modernise PKI Certificate Lifecycle Management
Effectively handling Certificate lifecycles is crucial yet typically labour-intensive, especially as renewals are getting more frequent – reducing to 47 days. 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
