Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS)

digit

Have a 360° view of one’s exposure and the current exploitable breaches

In today’s world, organizations have lots of possibilities and manners to control one’s cyber exposure on specific parts but it could happen to be more tricky when searching for an integrated approach in order to generate a cyber virtuous loop and continuous improvement.

By looking alternately outside and inside one’s infrastructure, we adjust the customer’s view on an attacker possible one, showing him the doors left open to cyber intrusions and data theft attempts.

The specific positioning of DRPS is to provide visibility into the open (surface) web, social media, dark web and deep sources to identify potential threats to critical assets.


The DRPS service

The DRPS service proposes brand protection through surveillance of misinformation on social networks, open, deep and dark web, illegal use of brands, and intellectual property violations. It also includes VIP and executive surveillance. Additionally, the service offers fraud prevention by monitoring cybersquatting, phishing, and malicious mobile apps, with responsive « takedown » services. Data leak monitoring involves surveillance of intellectual property leaks, information leaks, identification leaks, confidential information, etc.

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)

Because not every incident looks alike, we believe that different levels of response are necessary, evaluating each time the severity and the potential impact associated for critical infrastructures.

Responding to incidents requires a team that knows how to solve the problem and has solved many incidents for clients of different sizes or industries.

At Thales, we bring unparalleled value to Cyber Incident Response support, recognizing the critical need for swift and effective resolution in the face of evolving cyber threats. Our dedicated teams, strategically positioned worldwide, provide close support for security managers, ensuring a comprehensive response to incidents.

Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS)

The « Defence-in-depth » concept extends beyond the information system, incorporating breach simulation for both application and infrastructure security. Rather than assuming invulnerability, breach simulation starts from a compromised asset, testing the scope of potential breaches.

Our experts execute innovative methodologies as well as cutting-edge automation tools to assess the level of security of your organization.

Red teaming and Penetration testing

In the realm of cybersecurity, organizations face the ongoing challenge of safeguarding their digital assets against sophisticated threats. While traditional penetration testing offers insights into specific vulnerabilities, Red Teaming takes a broader approach, simulating Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and assessing the full spectrum of security operations.
