Cybersecurity assessments allow organizations to identify potential weaknesses in their IT infrastructure and ensure that their systems are secure and compliant with industry standards. Kivu can help organizations understand their current security posture, identify potential risks, and develop an action plan to mitigate those risks. Additionally, regular assessments can help organizations stay ahead of new threats, better protect their data, and respond quickly to any security incidents that may arise. Furthermore, cybersecurity assessments can provide organizations with a better understanding of their security policies, procedures, and controls, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their cybersecurity investments.
An organization’s attack surface constantly changes, creating a perfect opportunity for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise networks. Kivu’s attack surface management (ASM) solution will discover, assess, and help manage an organization’s attack surface from the attacker’s perspective. This real-time attack analysis provides enhanced visibility by continuously mapping and scanning for assets to ensure organizations can identify vulnerabilities and mitigate the risk of breaches.
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is an increasingly common type of fraud where attackers compromise legitimate business emails to steal sensitive information or money. Kivu investigates specific email accounts to identify sourced attacks that can manifest as data theft, unauthorized access, etc. The investigation typically includes reviewing emails, logs, network traffic, and other evidence to identify the source o the attack and any potential data access.
Kivu can research the dark web where cybercriminals buy and sell digital contraband to identify company credentials or information. Using open-source and dark web scans that focus on customer-integrated keyword searches in both public and obfuscated web spaces, Kivu can alert you to activity found on hacking forums, blogs, chat rooms, private networks, and other sites criminals are known to frequent.
