Is your website, network or cloud infrastructure vulnerable to a cyber attack? Ensure your environment is secure.

Cloud security—also called cloud computing security—refers to the control and practice of protecting cloud computing environments, applications, data, and information. It entails securing cloud environments against unauthorized use/access, distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, hackers, malware, and other risks. Cloud computing provides many unique security issues and challenges. In the cloud, data is stored with a third-party provider and accessed over the internet. This means exposure and control over that data are limited. It also raises the question of how it can be properly secured.

Application Vulnerability assessments are an often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity. It is important to remember that applications are designed and written by programmers who often have not learned how to code securely, or do not think about security. Our employees, full-time senior-level personnel who are experienced consulting specialists to examine your applications for what are often highly subtle exposures. Conduct an application security assessment gives you a realistic view of how secure your application is or not. Testing your applications allows you time to think carefully about what type of remediation you might want to implement, rather than being rushed into a quick solution as the result of an incident or loss.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing provides enterprises with a more comprehensive application evaluation than any single test alone. Using this approach gives an organization a more detailed view of the threats facing its applications. This enables the business to better protect its systems and data from malicious attacks. Vulnerabilities can be found in applications from third-party vendors and internally made software. But most of these flaws are easily fixed once found. Orcheds’s platform combines both Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing methods.

The role of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery is to minimize the effects of outages and disruptions on business operations. BCDR practices enable an organization to get back on its feet after problems occur, reduce the risk of data loss and reputational harm, and improve operations while decreasing the chance of emergencies. The process of building a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plan will typically involve in risk identification, infrastructure review, business impact analysis, plan design, plan implementation, and testing.

The relationship between recovery and resumption is important. The longer it takes to resume normal operations, the longer the organization will have to operate in the recovery mode. After identifying critical missions and business functions. The next step is to identify supporting resources. The time frames in which each resource is used in order to include accurate information, and establish goals for the plan that equates to the effect on the mission or business of the unavailability of the resource.
