Security Strategy

Organizations that can foresee and adapt to changes in the business ecosystem more rapidly can thrive in any environment. Establishing innovative security strategies on multiple future horizons can be critical to realizing value, establishing growth, and reducing the potential for financial losses, high turnover, and staff morale issues.

Security Strategy Roadmapping

As digital tools continue to grow, the need for a very well thought out strategy is increasing. A strategic roadmap for security is a documented set of artifacts that memorialize all the action items needed in order to help an organization align security to its mission in the world. A strategic roadmap details all the steps needed to achieve a specific transition to a future state.

Insider Threat Program

There is a consistent level of threat due to malicious employees with an insider’s ability to knowingly or unknowingly cause organizational harm. Behavioral elements of employee based digital events should be identified as early as possible and managed in a consistent manner. As the creator of HUMALOGY^®, FPOV develops programs to meet this need.

Cybersecurity – High Beam Workshop

Prepare for a glimpse into the future. The process is designed to help organizations look at 5 to 10 year horizons for elements that will impact results, and prepare for the emerging security needs. It involves identifying and analyzing new signals to stay current on macro, risk, organizational, and industry trends and uses FPOV’s Immersyv collaboration tools.

Insurance Consulting

Cybersecurity insurance is becoming more complex and it may not cover everything you would like. FPOV reviews the insuring agreements and conducts a “stress test” of the aggregate, limits and sublimits to avoid learning by surprise if the policy is not going to cover your costs during an event.

Security Services

FPOV provides assistance in the development of future-proof security risk management programs. With security becoming a larger concern due to geopolitical events, recent supply chain attacks, and targeted incidents, these support services can include unique applications of monitoring, testing, assessing, and support.

Ethical Hacking Monitoring & Scans

A threat and risk-based assessment to detect security gaps in a system using the same methodology as a hacker. This is different from a normal automated vulnerability scan but is not a penetration test. It uses hacking tools to determine the effectiveness of efforts to protect systems from specific threat actors and likely threat vectors.

Hybrid Work – Human Firewall Testing 

The increase of hybrid and remote work have created new potential risks of social engineering. With employees being a natural weak link in cybersecurity defenses, the mitigation of risky behavior of team members outside of the office that could impact an organization should be part of the testing process. FPOV delivers this unique testing approach.

Security Vendor Acquisition & Support

Most organizations rely on third parties to deliver its services and security vendors to protect its infrastructure. We have designed an end to end process to help you dramatically lower the risk of an expensive and painful outcome from a technology vendor selection. We walk alongside our clients as they navigate this important process.

Fractional CISO and CSO

In certain situations it makes sense to outsource important positions to a qualified third party with experience that you cannot find within your organization or quickly hire for. We offer our expertise on a retainer or advisory basis. We can on an interim basis or simply be an advisor you keep on retainer for when you need important guidance nearby.

Executive Security Assessments

Our security assessments are designed for executives and their families and focused on personal online activity in addition to how data is accessed and shared in order to determine the potential exposure of private information. This includes the protection of smart devices, mobile devices, email, social media, gaming devices, travel, etc.

Executive Training & Coaching

High level training is available to support leadership teams in ensuring effective management of cyber risk through increased understanding, prioritization, and the necessary governance processes. Coaching for individual growth is also available and delivers a one-on-one development opportunity to produce real business results in a short period of time.

Awareness Training

Training is one of the best ways to improve security compliance and information protection. FPOV will highlight common vulnerabilities, processes to mitigate these vulnerabilities, as well as advice on how to secure your network and stay safe online. These courses are available remotely or in person.

Talent Management

Hiring a cybersecurity executive can be a daunting task, considering the importance of the role and the competitive environment. We help organizations create the right criteria, find the professionals or C-suite executives, and onboard them to rapidly become an organizational asset.

Dark Web Monitoring

We monitor activities on the dark web where attacks on organizations are discussed, where new techniques are shared, and where stolen information is brokered. If your information shows up in the online underworld, you should be made aware as early as possible.

Knowledge Base

IT security policies should be in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information. Depending on an organization’s size, resources, and the degree of threat, FPOV’s library can assist in quickly developing appropriate security policies.

Incident Response

In support of the strategic operations, FPOV provides assistance during a digital event impacting an organization. In addition, we assist in preparing organizations to respond effectively with training, conducting exercises, creating response plans, establishing communication plans and forming playbooks for specific types of incidents that can occur now and those that will likely occur in the future.

Digital Event Response Support

Any security incident can have a lasting impact on the entire organization. FPOV provides support during these critical times by responding quickly, acting as an advisor for the organization, coordinating the appropriate resources, mitigating the immediate situation and preparing for the longer-term management requirements.

IT Extraction Planning

When a team member has the “keys to the kingdom” and they need to be removed from their position or terminated, an organization must work quickly to ensure the network is protected. It is best to plan for these events and ensure a high level of coordination across the security infrastructure to reduce risk and ensure operations are not disrupted.

Tabletop Exercises 

These exercises are designed to meet your specific objectives and practice the core crisis or incident response skills and plans. Various exercise types can be developed for plan walkthroughs, discussion-based simulations, tabletops, and functional exercises. Each exercise is tailored to your environment, ensuring there is a value in the experience.

Incident Response Playbooks 

The cyber incident response plans are intended to augment existing crisis management programs and provide guidelines on response procedures to minimize risks, costs, and the impact of a potential breach or digital event. The playbooks can assist from the discovery of a suspected incident to the post-incident response for many different types of events.
