CONTINUITY AND TRUST ARE THE KEYS TO SYSTEM SECURITY

This isn’t just a technical subject, because secure systems are vital to business continuity and innovation capability. Keeping your information systems protected is about keeping your operations running and your data flowing reliably. At Hardis Group, we’ll work with you to develop an appropriate strategy that combines protection, forward planning, and innovation. Drawing on our comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, we develop tailor-made solutions to keep enterprise infrastructure secure while supporting business performance.

Consulting, solutions, and operational expertise: five pillars of system security

Cybersecurity requires a structured approach that takes into account your strategic and operational priorities and challenges. Our offering is based on five pillars, leveraging consulting, solutions, and operational expertise to keep your systems secure and help your business navigate current and future cyber challenges.

Incident detection and response: keeping your business protected

The faster a threat is detected and contained, the less likely it is to spread and affect your systems. AI-enhanced event analysis allows you to better filter out false positives and spot weak signals of an ongoing attack. And when combined with real-time monitoring and proactive intervention, it helps you limit the impact on your business and stay responsive and alert to future attacks.

• Security event management: analyze activities centrally with a SIEM tool, offering a comprehensive overview, and supporting effective event correlation and rapid identification of suspicious behavior.
• Managed detection and response: leverage our SOC to monitor your infrastructure and respond effectively to security incidents, detecting and blocking intrusions at the earliest opportunity.

Attack surface management: close the door to intruders

Every vulnerability is an opportunity for cybercriminals. Reducing the attack surface involves limiting exploitable entry points through a combination of network protection and proactive end-point vulnerability management.

Network protection and access security

Modern networks need to strike a balance between openness and security without compromising on data protection. Protecting your critical infrastructure is vital to keeping your data secure and your business operations running smoothly.

• Access security: deploy the right solutions to manage and secure connections, limit mobility-related risks, and effectively manage remote access.
• Protection of critical applications (Cloud Security Services): cloud services designed to protect sensitive applications, with web application firewalls (WAFs), anti-DDoS solutions, and content delivery networks (CDNs).
• Email protection: cloud or API solutions to combat common threats such as phishing, spear phishing, CEO fraud, bank transfer scams, and ransomware
• Centralized firewall management: management of firewalls to filter data flows and protect critical exchanges, especially between enterprise systems and the internet.

Information system resilience: ensuring business continuity in crisis

In order to navigate an IT crisis, you need dependable solutions to protect your data, and to quickly and reliably get your critical activities up and running again. Building information system resilience is a question of meticulous preparation coupled with proven methods and approaches:

• External backup: using secure, automated solutions to make at least three copies of your organization’s data, stored in separate media, including one copy stored off-site, for protection and rapid disaster recovery.
• IT continuity and disaster recovery plans: developing and regularly testing contingency plans in order to anticipate system unavailability, synchronize essential data, and allow critical applications to be restarted quickly.

Cybersecurity culture: fostering collective trust and constant vigilance

A strong cybersecurity culture ensures that every employee plays a key role in security, while strengthening internal collaboration and bolstering your organization’s reputation for reliability among partners and customers. Provide your teams with practical, targeted training and awareness in cyber risk management:

• Tailored awareness programs: annual or multi-year plans tailored to employee profiles and the risks specific to your sector or industry.
• Workshops for executives and managers: immersive awareness sessions for executive/management committee members and VIPs on strategic cybersecurity priorities and challenges, transforming senior leaders into ambassadors of an exemplary cybersecurity culture.
• Thematic virtual classes: online training sessions, delivered by experts, focused on embedding best practices and risk management in the workplace.
• Phishing simulations and training: recurring simulated phishing attack campaigns, combined with micro-learning modules, to assess how employees respond and to make them more alert to email-borne threats.
• Crisis management exercises: scenario-based exercises to prepare employees’ to respond to major incidents and minimize their impact on critical activities.
• Deepfakes awareness: a turnkey program, combining simulation and training, in which employees work on realistic deepfakes, learn about the associated risks, and become more alert to fraud attempts and disinformation.

Governance and compliance: aligning cybersecurity with strategic objectives

Protecting your digital assets also means ensuring that your security policies support your organization’s priorities. A structure, three-step approach will help you anticipate risks, optimize your investments, and maintain compliance with applicable standards over the long term:

• Initial security posture assessment: an in-depth review that involves analyzing existing measures, identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and gauging maturity against security standards.
• Determination of strategic objectives: identifying the most critical processes and determining security objectives aligned with the specific needs of your organization and your sector or industry.
• Development of an operational roadmap: creating a detailed action plan incorporating budget constraints and solutions for strengthening your security posture over the long term.

Measures and solutions tailored to your priorities and challenges

We leverage dedicated resources, advanced tools, and a structured organization to ensure this methodology delivers tangible results:

• Operations management: Our SOC, which is based in France and operates around the clock, draws on dedicated resources and documented procedures to manage your critical infrastructure, alerts, and security incidents.
• Personalized consulting: Our consultants will help you develop security strategies tailored to your business priorities and challenges, taking account of technological advances, emerging threats, industry regulations and, of course, your organization’s constraints.
• Intervention and expertise: As well as having a dedicated Cyber expertise unit, we leverage the collective knowledge of over 450 specialists at our services center, covering networks, systems, databases, and applications. We also work closely with our Cyber teams to solve often complex problems that arise during crises.

Make cybersecurity a pillar of your innovation strategy

Innovation is about moving forward in a controlled and orderly way. By building cybersecurity into your innovation strategy right from the design stage, you can avoid bottlenecks, inspire confidence, and stay in control of your progress, keeping your projects running smoothly without compromising on security.

Training: the key to risk management

Cyberattacks often exploit human vulnerabilities. But with an informed and well-prepared team, your organization can anticipate threats before they materialize. Rather than seeing your employees as a vulnerability, turn them into key players in your security. Because every good habit they acquire reduces your exposure to risks and helps make your organization more robust and resilient.
