The dramatic increase in remote network access in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic – by employees, constituents, and consumers alike – has put every organization with an accessible network at significant risk of cyberattack. Cyberattacks are no longer a random act, but a targeted attack based on reconnaissance to determine weaknesses.
The CyVision Enhanced Cyber Vulnerability Assessment Service is a powerful and affordable solution that identifies, visualizes, and prioritizes critical cyber vulnerabilities, providing comprehensive reports in as little as five days. This helps organizations quickly identify their most vulnerable high-value assets while improving operational cybersecurity. The CyVision assessment service is ideal for those companies and industries that do not have any cyber risk management programs in place or the experienced personnel to proactively combat the potential for cyberattack.
"Brian's knowledge, expertise and foresight will allow us to to stay one step ahead of critical cybersecurity threats facing organizations today," Crummey continued.
