MANAGED SECURITY

Did you know that the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. has reached a record high of $4.35 million according to a report by IBM and the Ponemon Institute? Such breaches have escalated since 2020, and with a distributed workforce, security risks have never been greater. It is therefore imperative for business leaders to alter their thinking from a react and recover mindset to one governed by proactivity that anticipates risks in advance.

Turn to Carrier Solutions Group for a fully managed, robust, and integrated security solution that will minimize threat risk and provide a solid security infrastructure, all while meeting regulatory requirements. At CSG our security experts have extensive experience architecting a cybersecurity framework based on NIST, built with the right mix of tools, processes, and expertise to protect your enterprise outside of the traditional four walls. The proper cybersecurity plan encompasses threat prevention, detection and analysis, vulnerability management, response, recover and remediate procedures, that together, improve your overall security posture, meet cybersecurity insurance requirements, and keep you compliant.

Security Assessments

At CSG, our experience has taught us that when it comes to cybersecurity, you can’t fix what you haven’t identified. Undergoing a Security Assessment provides an understanding of your current cybersecurity posture, and where change is required to bridge gaps. A Security Assessment provides comprehensive findings and recommendations to owners, board members and executives to ensure alignment across the enterprise supporting a roadmap toward cybersecurity maturity.

Trust CSG to help you develop that roadmap, leveraging the latest technology to architect it, and the absolute best engineers and best practices to implement it, to ultimately safeguard your organization’s systems and data.

SECURITY ASSESSMENT

Below are just some of the areas of security we have expertise in and can help you with:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Cloud compute and managed hosting using a combination of shared (multi-tenant) virtual servers or dedicated physical or virtual servers located in a service provider’s data centers. This allows companies to scale without the added cost of on-prem servers. Service providers manage the compute hardware, including servers, network, and storage that companies access via a dashboard. We can help you craft a service level agreement that ensures a very high uptime (99.9%+) and that gives you peace of mind knowing you are protected by the utmost in security, backup, disaster recovery, and active directory integration.
Desktop as a Service (DaaS)

Give your team the ability to effortlessly access their data and applications anywhere, anytime, and from any device using an internet connection with one of our customized DaaS solutions. Ensure your remote WFA/WFH employees can safely and securely access company information.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)

CDN allows your business to leverage a group of geographically distributed servers that speed up the delivery of web content by bringing it closer to where a user is located. With today’s hyper-distracted customers, gaining access to your content with due speed has never been more important. Rely on CSG to help partner you with the provider best suited to service your needs.
Data Center/Co-Location

Data center solutions allow you to take advantage of networked server farms for remote storage, processing, and distribution of large amounts of data. Once we understand your specific needs, we’ll help match you with the ideal partner to help you achieve your goals based on the most efficient location(s) and cost.
Backup/Disaster Recovery

One of the chief advantages of cloud-based, remote data storage solutions is that they offer you redundancies in the event of a data breach, force majeure, or man-made disaster. With a CSG back up/disaster recovery failsafe as part of your emergency plans, you can know your business will be protected and able to function with limited or no interruptions in the event of a disaster.
Private and Public Cloud

AT CSG we offer private and public cloud solutions dependent upon your specific criteria and goals. Private cloud services are controlled end-to-end by a single entity and not shared with others. The advantages of a private cloud typically include better security, low latency, and improved control over both data governance and locality. With public cloud solutions, services are shared with other businesses. Public clouds typically afford lower costs, greater scalability, and access to cutting-edge technologies. AWS, Azure, and Google are subsets of public clouds. Once we understand your priorities, CSG can help pair you with the right cloud solution.
Managed Microsoft 365 (Desktop as a Service or DaaS)

Microsoft 365 allows you to run your email, data, storage, and office productivity applications in the cloud so that it functions reliably, securely, and is available to end users anytime and anywhere. Our managed service providers include Microsoft 365 onboarding and integration, administration of the entire Microsoft 365 environment, including customization, as well as resources to manage the user help desk.

A CSG MANAGED SECURITY SUCCESS STORY

Surgical Response to Malware Attack Helps Bring Healthcare Company’s Network Back to Health

CHALLENGE

A weak default password without multi-factor authentication allowed a hacker to gain access to a large healthcare company’s network. The hacker had infected the company’s network with CryptoLocker, a ransomware virus that was discovered to be present on upwards of twenty of the company’s servers, threatening their operations across multiple locations.

SOLUTION

Cybersecurity Forensic Analysts sourced by CSG took quick action to identify the bad actor and work towards remediation. Utilizing best-of-breed tools, they were able to pinpoint the IP addresses where the attack originated from and effectively block them from the network. Simultaneously, the team was able to configure restoration on the servers and perform backup measures.

RESULT

Within twenty-four hours of the original incident the first server was restored, and the remaining were all operational within days, allowing the company to restore their network and serve their patients without being held hostage.

After the event was resolved the company enlisted the security provider to perform a Security Assessment across their environment. The cybersecurity team was able to identify vulnerable target areas in the company’s infrastructure and architect customized solutions. The company was able to further leverage the security company services to strengthen their security framework to prevent future incidents.
