As cyber threats grow in complexity and sophistication, it’s a challenge for organizations to keep up. BearingPoint helps you adopt a holistic approach that puts you on top of evolving regulatory demands and strengthens security across the board.
Day by day, the cyber threat is changing in front of our eyes. Mounting effective defenses against it is becoming more complex. Assets, data, threat sources, attack surfaces – in all of these areas, organizations are having to work harder than ever to keep pace. When you consider that the moon landing in 1969 required 130,000 lines of code – and today, just two typical iPhone apps contain the same data - the exponentially growing scale of the challenge becomes starkly evident.
Hackers are no longer isolated amateurs or small groups: they make up an organized, multi-billion dollar industry. The most potent threats come from highly sophisticated, pseudo-corporate criminal groups – an ecosystem of skilled intruders offering hacking for hire, including ransomware-as-a-service. As the scale and sophistication of the threat grows, it's increasingly difficult for organizations to recruit and retain the right level of security talent.
The regulatory environment, too, is becoming ever-more demanding, and far-reaching. Businesses that could previously afford to comply to a minimal level are now expected to maintain and report much tighter cyber security. As requirements become stricter, more robust approaches are needed, and this necessitates a substantial investment in time and resources.
At BearingPoint we help you to tackle the constantly evolving cyber threat, and stay current with changing regulation. Part of this is through our experience and mindset - bringing geeky understanding to the culture of hacking and cyber-crime. But we combine this with world-class professional services expertise, and knowledge of enterprise organizations and systems.
Taking the right approach is critical, and part of that means understanding the nature of your organization and your unique challenges. We can help you make your business stronger, more secure, and less attractive to attackers.
