SECURING ORGANISATIONS FROM
CYBER THREATS
We help organisations secure their applications & information architecture, on-premise or in the cloud, against nefarious cyber threats.
Black Quadrant's team of cybersecurity experts is spread across 14 cities in 5 continents, allowing us exposure to the latest cyberthreats.
Our niche expertise allows us to provide organisations with the perfect mix of security, privacy and anonymity while ensuring that they doesn't suffer downtime.
OUR SERVICES
RED TEAMING
Simulated D-days
A full-scope, multi-layered attack simulation designed to measure how well a company’s people and networks, applications and physical security controls can withstand an attack from a real-life adversary.
NETWORK SECURITY
Complimentary endpoint security
Physical and software preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure.
CLOUD SECURITY
Reliable configurations
Ensure a bulletproof cloud infrastructure by employing industry standard configurations and systems to protect your organisation and data in the cloud.
APPLICATION SECURITY
Penetration testing
Test your web applications, edge applications and APIs for vulnerabilities in configuration and application & transport layers.
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive scans
Identify potential vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure in order to understand your current security posture, without simulating a real hacker attack.
Vulnerable applications & systems are half finished
Security should be built-in, not tacked on at the end. IT project planning accounts for nothing if the end result is insecure, or results in a cost blow-out when security issues need to be remediated later.
Secure by design
Security is one of the pillars of a well architected system. Insecure systems and applications are not only at risk themselves, but have the ability to compromise the security of the entire IT infrastructure of your organisation.
Continuous monitoring, continuous hardening
Security is not a one-off activity. In cyberspace, where updates happen every day, attacks happen every minute on different levels. We seek to mitigate attacks early by continuously monitoring your system and hardening your security.
Secure by knowledge
Knowledge enhances security more than any patch ever can. Black Quadrant trains your IT teams to build secure apps and systems so that you never need us for the same problem twice.
We follow a continuous monitoring, continuous hardening process model.
It is impossible to permanently eliminate the risk from cyber threats. Complex systems, with more moving parts have more vulnerabilities and are thus more susceptible to cyber attacks.
However, we are proactive in identifying vulnerabilities and hardening them before a nefarious actors exploits them.
INITIATE EXERCISE
Infrastructure audit
We go through an industry standard security checklist of your IT infrastructure to identify misconfigurations, outdated versions and other vulnerabilities.
Application audit
We work with your application architects and your developers to understand your application. We then pass your source code through several tools and manual QA to identify vulnerabilities. We do this for all interconnected applications.
Process audit
We reverse engineer your processes and identify faulty logic like unnecessary permissions and IAM creeps. After plugging these, we expose your processes to random shutdowns to assess the degree of graceful degradation.
Systems audit
We go through other systems in your organisation, like biometrics, inventory stocking and other analog systems to check for exposure to vulnerabilities.
Strategy & training workshop
We organise workshops and training sessions specifically for your company, to share with you our findings, our recommendations and how best to avoid identified security gaps in the future.
Continuous hardening
We can either implement the security recommendations ourselves, or you can if you so choose. We will be back within 30 days to see if all recommendations have been implemented. We will repeat all our audits to see which vulnerabilities are still not address and nudge you.
