Auditing and Consulting

Problem

Succeeding in business in Russia requires learning from one‘s experience and even one‘s mistakes.В  In the IT security field, this dictum is borne out in the security incidents and breaches that all too regularly make the headlines. Unfortunately, without specialized knowledge and experience it is difficult or impossible to properly respond to an incident. Among the specialized skills and procedures needed are the gathering of evidence, investigating the circumstances of an IT security incident, conducting a root cause analysis, and identifying proper and adequate corrective means, possibly including the deployment of new security hardware and software.

IT security incidents are never pleasant but they are facts of life on the contemporary internet — smart organizations have incident response and control mechanisms in place and can quickly respond to an attack. A poorly thought out approach to IT security can interfere with a business‘s operations while a carefully developed strategy complements and enhances them.

Solution

IT security consulting is divided into two broad categories: preventive and post-incident. The first type, based upon expert analysis of an organization‘s potential IT security weaknesses, aims to forestall incidents before they occur. The second type, based on a post-mortem analysis of an actual security incident, uncovers weaknesses in an existing security system. Organizations use the findings from such an analysis to guide them in securing their IT infrastructures and preventing attacks from recurring.

Financial services workers and IT security. Recently, Group-IB‘s specialists have been receiving an increasing number of requests for assistance in the investigation of online banking fraud. Most such incidents stem from the lack of an appropriate security system (or its incorrect deployment) as well as poor general awareness of IT security on the part of financial services workers. After analyzing these problems, Group-IB‘s consultants have designed an IT security architecture especially tailored for financial services workers. This architecture can be deployed independently or in conjunction with an existing IT security system. As part of the package, financial services workers are educated on the nature of online banking fraud, improving their ability to detect, respond to and prevent it.
