Why It’s Time to Embrace a Culture of Cyber Warriors

The average total cost of data breaches in the US now total $10 million as organizations continue to struggle in securing networks and critical data on their own. Now, more than ever, organizations need cyber warriors both on the frontlines of their cyber defenses and as part of their internal cultures. This was a focal point at Iron Bow’s 2023 Engineering Summit. GuardSight, an Iron Bow Technologies company that specializes in providing proactive cybersecurity with a team of military, government intelligence, and enterprise security professionals, embodies that cyber warrior culture.  

GuardSight’s Three-Pronged Approach 

GuardSight brings the most talented cyber warriors together with the latest cyber intelligence tools in order to identify, defend against, and respond to cyber threats. As a result, they help protect business-and -mission-critical assets and data. They do this through a three-pronged approach: 

1. Operations (SECOPS): Detect insider and outsider threats and prioritize threat events 24x7x365 with SECOPS business protection packages.  
2. Assessments (VULN): Conduct both passive and active analysis of weaknesses, technical flaws, and vulnerabilities. 
3. Response (CIRT): BreachMasters® incident response services include breach containment, digital forensics, and staff training.  

In short, GuardSight’s team of cyber warriors brings together the human intelligence and artificial intelligence to help customers build their cyber resilience.

How do you improve your organization’s resilience and limit the damage when an attack occurs?  

By fortifying your cyber defense posture with Tabletop Exercises (TTX)-Attack Response Simulation. TTX are meant to help organizations consider different risk scenarios and prepare for potential cyber threats. Led by GuardSight experts, this exercise can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making it a convenient tool for putting your team in the cybersecurity mindset.  

GuardSight’s cyber warriors assist with planning, readiness, and severity assessments as well as cyberweapons and deployment directives. 

Through the TTX, GuardSight’s team of cyber warriors helps customers tackle questions like these head-on: 

• How do we reduce our adversary’s ability to do harm? 
• How do we kick the enemy out as fast as possible? 
• How do we reduce dwell time and stop asset exploitations? 
• What external organizations can assist with neutralizing the threat? 
• In an attack, who responds to what, when, where? 
• How do responders know what protocols to follow? 

Improving Cyber Hygiene 

One of the first documents GuardSight provides with incident response is an action report. The most important part is the Opportunities for Improvement Section (OFI). The OFI emphasizes that by implementing those strategies, the incident wouldn’t have happened in the first place. This can help mitigate future security breaches. 

Ultimately, the cyber warriors of GuardSight are ready to help patrol your networks to proactively address cyber threats and jump to assistance in the case of any attacks.
