The SecureRisk Method – more than vulnerability management

At Secure Shield, we believe that Risk Management should encompass ALL points of risk

Powered by the AiPT™ predictive red team engine. SecureRisk is more than just Vulnerability Management. It combines attack surface discovery (ASD), attack surface monitoring (ASM), cloud, dark web, and spearphishing in a simple, automatic way that is always-on. Just like a radar. We emulate the attack lifecycle to measure cyber risk in a standardized and scalable way. We don’t just passively observe – we actively interrogate targets.

How We Deliver 10x the Accuracy

Attackers are the true authority on risk. At Secure Shield, we believe that risk management should encompass ALL points of risk, and not just going through an a la carte menu of cyber security services.. Our red teaming approach achieves up to 10x greater accuracy than legacy risk ratings because we are dedicated to the offensive security perspective. We are driven to maintain bleeding-edge discovery capability (to identify targets more precisely), significantly reduce false positives, and employ superior risk prioritization methods. This multi-step process, compounded up to 100x by our ability to secure target participation for verification and testing, ensures unparalleled precision and reliability in our outcomes.

Plan & Execute – Discover the Attack Surface

Determining the scope of the SecureRisk program is an important step in ensuring efforts and resources are focused effectively. Useing attacker tradecraft to discover public infrastructure, we look at things like assets, network segmentation, third-party systems, and regulatory requirements to choose how to manage risks.

Scan – Identify Opprotunities

Scanning is likely the most recognizable and enacted component of our SecureRisk process across your organization.  We monitor active hosts and services and evaluate weaknesses. We’ll work with you on asset discovery, vulnerability assessments, and put together a recommended schedule for each agent and network scan.

Analyze, Report and Prioritize Threat Vectors

This is where we work with you to determine what opportunities could be exploited & cause a breach.  This is done with the risk posed to the organization in mind, and is categorized into vulnerability and asset risk ratings.

Plan Attack Approach

Prepare convert, realistic testing that evades blacklist triggers.  Identifying vulnerabilities through scans means nothing if we don’t do something about them! In the action phase, the response is prescribed. This is typically focused on remediation—fixing identified vulnerabilities. In scanning, this is often (but not limited to) patch management.

Validate

It’s simply not enough to patch and remediate the vulnerabilities. We need to ensure that the changes made were successful. Our team will work with you to rescan and validate the effectiveness of any changes.

Test, Reassess & Enhance

It is important to regularly review and reassess the scope of your vulnerability management program to ensure it remains aligned with your organization’s evolving infrastructure, technology landscape, and security priorities. We’ll start this cycle again from step one with these in mind and if enabled and necessary, conduct active penetration testing to analyze risk.

Why work with Secure Shield

Expertise

Secure Shield has been in business for over 20 years, and our team has years of combined experience working in information security and boasts 30 different kinds of certifications. When it comes to building vulnerability management programs, you have the benefit of experience in your corner.

Mission

Our mission at Secure Shield is to fix the broken information security industry. The ultimate goal is to solve as many challenges as we can in your security environment. Ensuring your employees understand what different kind of attacks look like and how to avoid them is one way we can truly improve security and protect sensitive information within your organization.

Style

Our style isn’t “cookie cutter.” We recognize that each organization is different, and every security program is at a different stage of maturity. We get to know your security program intimately, identifying critical assets and conducting assessments to baseline your threat landscape. Then, we apply industry best practices to the findings to provide recommendations for building a strong vulnerability management program.

Focus

Information security is all we do. We don’t do IT, or sell hardware. We only do security. Because of this, our team can provide unbiased recommendations that will have a dramatic impact on the way you do security. We work hard to be a partner—collaborating with and educating your team every step of the way.

The landscape of vulnerabilities is evolving constantly and at a rapid pace. Hence, static one-time scans are not enough. At a minimum, organizations should be scanning quarterly. It is our stance that monthly or continual scans should be the ideal state for all organizations. Today most organizations are lagging far behind in this space. Our data concludes that less than half of organizations (48%) are scanning at least quarterly.
