As technology advances, so do threats to corporate IT infrastructures. A 2012 Ponemon Institute study found that the average cost of a data breach for a U.S. company was over $5 million dollars and compromised an average of 28,000 customer records. TCS' ESP portfolio provides elite cyber solutions to safeguard critical business assets and is centered on five key elements: Assess, Protect, Validate, Monitor and Train.
Key Elements:
- Assess: Identify vulnerabilities exploitable by potential adversaries, and recommend countermeasures and corrective actions in order to prevent attacks before they happen.
- Protect: Implement protective actions, such as policies, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems and virus/adware/malware scanners to provide an effective, ongoing defense against attacks.
- Validate: Provide an easy-to-understand quantitative measurement of an enterprise's security posture via the ESP Validation Quotient™.
- Monitor: Provide an ongoing, subscription-style service that monitors the application, system and enterprise to identify new and emerging threats and to formulate recommendations for continuous improvement in security posture.
- Train: Provide multi-level training for executives, IT professionals and end users on policies and best practices to ensure a complete, defensive cyber security stance.
