In today’s digital landscape, the need for robust cybersecurity controls is more critical than ever. Organizations face a wide range of threats, including ransomware, insider threats, and hackers. Each of these malicious actors operates with similar methods but has distinctly different objectives. CERTINETY stands out as a solution that not only keeps pace with evolving attack tactics but also provides actionable insights to secure your organization’s core.

The Anatomy of Cyber Threats

Ransomware attacks leverage a hacker’s toolkit—from gaining an initial foothold to exploiting vulnerabilities and performing privilege escalations. The ultimate goal is data encryption, rendering critical systems and files inaccessible until a ransom is paid.

Insiders, whether malicious or negligent, can exploit vulnerabilities or perform privilege escalations to steal sensitive data. These threats often come from employees or contractors who have legitimate access to the network but misuse it for malicious purposes.

Hackers use a combination of tactics such as exploiting vulnerabilities, gaining initial footholds, and performing privilege escalations to steal data, disrupt operations, or create backdoors in the organization’s network for future exploitation.

The CERTINETY Advantage: Emulating Attackers to Secure Your Organization

While these threats employ similar techniques, their end goals differ. CERTINETY’s approach mirrors the methods of malicious actors—from exploiting vulnerabilities to privilege escalation—but with a critical difference: CERTINETY’s end goal is to show you what could go wrong and provide guidance on how to fix these gaps.

CERTINETY continuously updates its capabilities to emulate the latest tactics used by attackers. By simulating real-world scenarios, it reveals vulnerabilities and security gaps that could be exploited. This proactive approach ensures your organization stays ahead of emerging threats.

By focusing on closing gaps in your security posture, CERTINETY helps organizations strengthen their foundational defenses. Security controls such as firewalls and EDRs software are important, but they are supplementary layers. CERTINETY ensures that even if a malicious actor gains a foothold in your network, they are unable to proceed further because critical gaps have been addressed.

The Value of Fixing Security Gaps

When you implement CERTINETY’s recommendations, you’re not just addressing vulnerabilities; you’re fortifying your entire security posture. Here’s how:

1. Securing Core Defenses: CERTINETY identifies and helps fix critical gaps, ensuring attackers cannot exploit them.
2. Minimizing Impact: Even if a malicious actor breaches your network, their actions are neutralized because your core security is impenetrable.
3. Confidence in Controls: Supplementary security measures become more effective when built on a strong foundation.

CERTINETY: Your Army of Ethical Hackers

CERTINETY is like having an army of ethical hackers working for you 24/7. It continuously evaluates your security, emulates real-world attacks, and provides tailored recommendations to mitigate risks.
