In a tech-savvy world we live in, technology has become an integral part of our lives. It has now become a necessity rather than leisure. The advantages of this trend vary from near-instant access to information on the Internet to modern comforts afforded by smart home automation technology and concepts such as the Internet of Things.
As technology offers so many benefits, it can be hard to understand that every device and platform has potential risks. But, in spite of society's positive perception of contemporary advancements, cyber security threats constitute a significant risk. The constant rise in cybercrime reveals flaws in the devices and services we've come to depend on.
A single security breach might expose millions of people's sensitive information. These breaches have a significant financial impact on businesses, as well as a loss of customer confidence. Hence, cyber security is highly important to safeguard individuals and organizations from cyber thieves. This is where Quorum Cyber comes in, a UK-based cyber security firm equipped to handle such threats, safeguarding digital assets on any scale.
Leading the Charge in Cyber Security
Founded in Edinburg in 2016, Quorum Cyber assists organizations across all industries in defending themselves in an increasingly unpredictable and aggressive digital world. Prior to the formation of Quorum Cyber, more and more organizations were forced to spend a growing portion of their budgets on cyber security with no insight into what they were doing or the value they received in return. There needed to be a better way. Quorum Cyber took a novel approach, tailoring its services to the specific demands of its customers through a partnership model.
Quorum, a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), and a Microsoft Security Copilot Partner, wants to protect as many enterprises worldwide as possible from emerging, changing, and more sophisticated cyber threats.
Quorum thinks that cyber security is a risk management issue that can be addressed by individuals working together and planning strategically rather than in a panic. Their goal is to assist organizations decrease risk and developing cyber resilience over time, while also providing good results and a return on investment.
Comprehensive Suite of Services
No cyber security comes without their services. What’s impressive is that Quorum offers a number of services, some of which are their flagship services. They offer their services in three categories, which are Managed Security Services, Advisory Services, and Offensive Security Services.
Clarity Defend
Clarity Defend is Quorum Cyber's managed detection and response platform. It is intended to monitor, identify, and respond to any type of cyber event at any time, day or night.
It is handled by an experienced team of SOC experts and covers the whole Microsoft ecosystem. Furthermore, as part of the service, Quorum Cyber's professional Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting teams actively look for current threats that may attempt to breach your IT infrastructure. Powered by Microsoft Sentinel and artificial intelligence, it allows a business to work at its peak without worrying about the next cyber-attack, providing resilience and peace of mind around the clock.
Clarity Data
Maintaining and administering a strong data security environment may be difficult. Many businesses fail to correctly install and optimize data loss prevention and insider risk systems, resulting in security holes. Clarity Data service allows you to keep your data secure and compliant while lowering your data management expenditures. Their complete solution allows you to take control of all of your data, no matter where it is, reducing the danger of data loss and regulatory fines.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
Vulnerability management has progressed beyond the traditional method of scanning for public exploits against vulnerabilities. It now integrates new sources of threat exposure information with context-aware intelligence to improve cleanup efforts. The end outcome is a substantially better security posture that improves over time when the Continuous Threat Exposure Management approach is implemented.
Quorum Cyber's Continuous Threat Exposure Management uses Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management, and external threat monitoring to provide: scope definition, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization.
Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)
Quorum's Identity Threat Detection and Response service does more than just look for identity compromises among your organization's users; it also provides additional safeguards for the identity and authorization systems that ensure your employees, contractors, and partners have access to the right content and resources.
Cyber Resilience Assessment
Cyber resilience includes more than simply preventative measures in a standard security program; it also considers that defenses will be penetrated at some time. It's not a matter of if, but when. Quorum's Cyber Resilience Assessment is intended to help you gain a thorough grasp of your existing cyber risk status. They help you to make educated decisions about building and implementing a cyber-resilience plan that is ideal for your company.
Everyone Needs a Cyber Security Strategy
The breadth and depth of cyber incidents around the globe today means that, regardless of the type of work that they do every organization needs to plan and prepare for an unexpected cyber-attack. While some are intentionally targeted, others are hit by speculative or opportunistic efforts to breach their IT estates. This is why not-for-profit organisations – just like everyone else – are advised to carefully consider their risk appetite to cyber threats. Cyber security is all about managing risk.
Many non-profits work alongside government agencies and/or private sector businesses to achieve their objectives. Most hold the personal details of either the people they help, or their financial donors, and usually both. All not-for-profits store a wealth of information that has a value to cybercriminals looking to copy it and either threaten to publish that information on the web or sell it through the dark web. And, unjustifiably, threat actors might perceive such organisations as lacking the latest security to properly defend themselves from cyber-attacks.
Aside from the data they secure and the people they work with, every charity is, of course, subject to industry regulations that they must comply with to keep running. Despite these responsibilities and the risks that are attached to them, not-for-profits can take appropriate action to maintain their security, without breaking the bank.
Quorum Cyber has years of knowledge and experience protecting a wide variety of different private, public and not-for-profit sector bodies across a large number of sectors. The company is here to help minimize your overall risk over time.
