The astronomical figures associated with cybercrime costs are more than just numbers; they represent a growing menace that threatens the very fabric of our digital existence. As businesses and individuals continue to rely on technology for everyday activities, cybercriminals are evolving their tactics and strategies to exploit vulnerabilities in more sophisticated ways.
The estimated global cost of cybercrime is projected to soar by 15% annually, ultimately reaching a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. This explosive growth in cybercrime underscores the urgent need for reliable and robust cybersecurity solutions.
A cybersecurity assessment evaluates the efficacy of your organization’s cybersecurity measures in addressing vulnerabilities. Unlike a cybersecurity audit that follows a checklist, risk assessments should be conducted with consideration for your organization’s business goals. This approach provides a broad overview of the weaknesses in your network, enabling security teams to implement appropriate controls to mitigate risks.
To ensure your organization is adequately equipped to combat various security threats, it is essential to conduct a thorough cybersecurity evaluation. The Bluewave Cybersecurity Assessment serves the purpose of detecting weaknesses, addressing security gaps, and ensuring you maintain compliance. It also enables key stakeholders and executives to stay informed about your organization’s cybersecurity status, which can facilitate better decision-making regarding the integration of security measures into daily operations.
It’s never been more important to protect your business using the best cybersecurity solutions available. What you might not realize is how much cybersecurity can help you save in the long run, especially as cyberattacks become more prevalent and sophisticated.
For decades, this client has specialized in designing and manufacturing innovative emergency lighting and egress solutions to customers all over the world.
The client had grown increasingly dissatisfied with their current MSP, prompting them to explore other options. However, in their pursuit of a new provider, they found themselves overwhelmed by conflicting advice from various vendors. With so many options presented to them, the client struggled to determine their true needs and became increasingly confused and frustrated. As a result, valuable time was wasted, leaving the client feeling uncertain about how to proceed.
Bluewave recommended a Baseline Technology Assessment to gain a comprehensive understanding of their technology stack, application landscape, and contracts. The assessment revealed several gaps in the technology infrastructure, processes, and operations, so Bluewave helped develop a list of requirements.
During the assessment, Bluewave also discovered that they had no formal cybersecurity process in place. They were unaware of who was responsible for cybersecurity and assumed their existing vendor was taking care of it. Bluewave advised them to conduct a Cybersecurity assessment to identify vulnerabilities and risks. The assessment uncovered several issues, including compromised hosting, weak passwords, and missing best practices.
With the Baseline Technology and Cybersecurity Assessments completed, the client gained valuable insights into their technology infrastructure and security posture, plus an understanding of their requirements and gaps. With this roadmap, Bluewave evaluated five IT vendors and presented a thorough comparison. The client was able to choose a new vendor that met their IT operations needs and addressed cybersecurity gaps, reducing the risk of potential data breaches and financial loss.
