Cyber Security for Critical Infrastructure

Our audit process starts with understanding the client focus areas and roadblocks in achieving the cyber security goals. It is followed by a preliminary screening to scope the target Security Profile (SP-1 or SP-2) of the existent cyber security controls, network environment, OT assets, and the overall landscape. After that, documentation and evidences are gathered such as risk registers, inventory maps, incidence response playbook, event logs, and so on.

The next round is assessing the organisation’s cyber security practices against the AESCSF framework maturity assessment rules.

After consolidating all the findings, we conduct an analysis and prepare the report on gaps and recommendations for mitigating the risks and gaps. We aim at aligning all of it to the scale and state of the business and their goals.

A cyber security maturity assessment empowers businesses to allocate resources efficiently when it comes to protecting their specific asset operations, distributed IT-OT environments, and teams.

Conducting the gap analysis create visibility for what needs more time, tools, and governance.

With the regulatory authorities mandating compliance for critical infrastructure to adhere to either of the AESCSF framework, the Essentials series, ISO27001, or similar guidelines, it is a “must to do” to exercise cybersecurity upliftment as per the required legislative obligations. This can be a strenuous process and cause diversions from operational objectives if not done right.

So, it is important to seek consulting and audit services from a third-party to get assessed to be aligned to the scale, state, and business goals so, your security matures at a pace that matches your growth.

We act as an extension of your team if you have baseline resourcing or a panel of advisory and execution to custom-built the roadmap and solutions around your unique infrastructure. We step in to fill the gaps with managed cyber security services and security operations support.

Whether you have a team or not, we add value with our blend of specialist network engineers, cyber security experts, electricians, operations technicians, and communications support for reporting and regulatory updates.

We have subject-matter-expertise in the APAC region, industrial context for legal standards for OT environment, with boots on the ground in remote locations. We maintain full visibility and let you maintain the control and ownership of your asset, by empowering you from the sidelines, with our SIEM-based monitoring, threat intelligence, flexible configurations, and other network engineering support.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a type of technology involving a set of tools to collect and correlate logs or data from your endpoints, network agents, devices, online apps, and systems to alert on anomalies and anticipate the threat prior to escalation.

SOC (Security Operations Centre) is the team of people who manage those findings, analyse data, and address alerts, to contain threats or prevent the event.

We deliver support in both areas, with our expert cyber security professionals hardening controls and consulting on solutions, backed by analysis from the SIEM tools tuned into your cyber security mechanism.

It creates access to specialised capabilities cyber-securing your network, IT-OT environment, staying informed, and keeping compliant.

These technologies and skilled human resources to operate them are big investments for a small to medium size growing businesses. A well-rounded service provider with critical stakeholder experience, legislative intel, international context, and core industry experience fills the gap of an in-house team.

For niche areas such as OT cyber security, building subject matter expertise and compliance fulfilment, outsourcing may be the best suited solution, especially when the local laws surrounding the sector become volatile and ever-evolving.
