Introducing MaxSec: IT Security Reimagined

The “new normal” in IT Security.

“It’s so complicated…there are so many things to think about!”

We’re hearing this a lot and we know why! The cyberthreat landscape as evolved dramatically and the level of sophistication involved in the cyber incidents being encountered is unprecedented. This, combined with the introduction of new regulatory frameworks around privacy and data security, has businesses feeling overwhelmed. To address these issues, Maxsum works with businesses to demonstrate what the new normal in IT Security looks like. Maxsum promotes shifting from a reactive waiting for the inevitable to happen approach to a proactive stance that ensures you have the protections, processes and responses in place to deal with a cyberincident not if, but when it happens.

Maxsum Consulting new Normal in IT Security
Maxsum Consulting Privacy by Design

Privacy by Design

“I don’t want to find out after the fact we should have done things differently…”

The essential message behind the Privacy by Design approach mandated in many of the new privacy and data regulations is actually very simple – that privacy and data protection cannot be an afterthought! Privacy by Design refers to including data protection and privacy considerations right from the outset in any new system or project design or implementation. Maxsum will assist you to ensure that privacy and data protection conversations are a part of your earliest conversations around your decision-making table, and then assist you to implement the right IT Security solutions and products that best suit your project and purpose.

Addressing the entire cyberthreat lifecycle

“How do we know if we’ve got enough or the right protections in place?”

In the past cyber attacks usually employed just a single technique. Today they are far more advanced, are powered by machine learning and complex algorithms, and use combinations of different techniques. This requires businesses to take a much more comprehensive and proactive approach to IT Security that addresses the entire cyber threat life cycle through from Deterrence and Detection to Response and Reporting. Maxsum can assist you to design the right processes to ensure you are taking a holistic and proactive approach to security in your business and deliver best-in-class solutions that are designed to address your deterrence, detection, response and reporting needs.

Maxsum Consulting - Cyberthreat Educate and Support

Supporting your first line of defence – your people!

“How can we stop someone clicking on a phishing email?”

Short answer – you can’t! Most data breaches and email compromises can be traced back to – you guessed it – simple human error! That’s why it’s so crucially important to ensure that you have the right technology solutions in place, but that you also continue to train and educate your team and employees about the importance of security and data protection. This is a conversation that needs to travel both top-down, bottom-up and across any organisation. Talk to Maxsum today about how we can assist you with education and training for your team, as well as reporting tools that will give you insight into security practices in your team.

The Path to Cyber Maturity for Australian Businesses

Most businesses are so busy just getting on with the day-to-day running of their business that they don’t really give too much thought as to what will happen if they suffer a cyber attack or data breach.

But the recent surge in cyber crime targeting and disabling businesses around the globe serves to demonstrate the very real financial, operational, reputational and even human risks associated with employing anything less than enterprise-grade IT security.

At Maxsum, we use our seat-at-the table approach to ensure that businesses are asking the right questions around their decision-making table and work together with our clients to enhance their security posture and move them up the scale from Cyber Aware to Cyber Secure, and then from Cyber Secure to Cyber Mature.

  • The Anatomy of a Cyber-Attack Explained The Anatomy of a Cyber-Attack Explained - Fraud is nothing new – people have been tricking other people into parting with their money since money was invented. But while the internet has made many things easier and faster, so too has the internet made it easier for fraudsters to get at things that don’t belong to them.
  • Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme – Response Planning 101 - February 22, 2018 was a big day in Australia’s data compliance history. Although it probably wasn’t marked on your calendar – it certainly was on ours, because it means all new things for very broad swathe of Australia’s business community.
  • Do You Understand the Phishing Threat? - It’s the cycle of routine distraction and reaction – a modern-day feature of the way we work and go about our day-to-day business – which actually makes us and our people the weakest link in even the most robust cybersecurity setup.
