Cybersecurity has prioritized serving the federal government. The federal government faces the same common challenge of protecting their organization and managing cybersecurity risk just as with any other industry, except that there is the high expectation that the federal government must protect its citizens. With the rise of new threats, such as Cyber Terrorism, recent administrations have focused on Information Assurance (IA), leading to new regulations and guidelines.
CryptoForensics applies our vast experience in carrying out critical government assignments, in addition to the innovative approaches that we bring to the commercial sector with each project, deploying the best of all sectors to bear. The degree of passion, energy, and enthusiasm we bring to every assignment far exceeds the standard, allowing us to maintain a level of prominence and consistency that our clients have grown to expect.
Our cybersecurity capabilities in defense of national security include:
Communications Security is the practice of preventing unauthorized interception/access of telecommunications traffic to its intended source. Without securing communications systems and the traffic that flows on those systems, organizations may discover that information is being leaked. Should organizations be providing classified services, there are requirements that must be followed, such as Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) developed by the NSA to supply electronic keys around the encryption of the COMSEC devices. COMSEC includes several disciplines:
At CryptoForensics , we are ready to work on any assignment right from day one, utilizing our extensive experience in managing COMSEC projects. Further, we will rigorously comply with all COMSEC custodian and managerial duties.
We live in an environment with dynamic, constantly changing cyberthreats. Thus, it is imperative that each country must—as a matter of national survival—develop and implement a flexible and dynamic cybersecurity strategy to meet new and ever-evolving global threats. The increasing reliance on information technologies has now placed governments, private sector entities, and individuals at the mercy of the bad actors and asynchronous players who devise and actualize their crimes. Cyberattacks are frequently occurring and breaching security controls, and they continue to grow in sophistication, frequency, and severity. Since cyberthreat actors routinely access, steal, and corrupt sensitive corporate and government information, a comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy is the first step to address these constant threats.
CryptoForensics Corporation has the organizational capability to help devise and guide the implementation of a resilient competitive national cybersecurity strategy, a plan of actions designed to improve the security and resilience of national infrastructures and services. It is a high level, top-down approach to cybersecurity that establishes a range of national objectives and priorities that should be achieved in a specific timeframe.
Cultural and national interests influence the perception of risk and the relative success of Cultural and national interests influence the perception of risk and the relative success of defenses against cyberthreats. A cybersecurity strategy rooted in national values is likely to gain the support of stakeholders, such as the judiciary and private sector. Our approach will therefore focus on the issues that countries should consider when designing or updating their national cybersecurity strategies since national capabilities, needs, and threats vary.
A CryptoForensics Corporation-designed action plan of National Cybersecurity Strategies and roadmap for a country include the following:
In a nutshell, counterintelligence refers to the identification, analysis, exploitation, and neutralization of foreign intelligence-gathering activities. CryptoForensics strongly believes that implementing counterintelligence/counterterrorism within an organization can proactively identify and protect a country or institution from foreign intelligence-gathering activities. Our personnel are experts in counterintelligence/counterterrorism support and have demonstrated experience and ability to perform the requirements at a high level. Further, our expertise in cybersecurity allows for organizations to leverage our ability to identify vulnerabilities that may be presented from insiders and new cyber-technologies introduced into environments. Here, there are several types of counterintelligence activities, which can be broken down into four major categories:
NIST SP800-37 states that “…security authorization challenges managers at all levels to implement the most effective security controls Information Assurance Capability possible in an information system, given mission and business requirements, technical constraints, operational constraints, cost/schedule constraints, and risk-related considerations.” CryptoForensics is thoroughly grounded in all phases of C&A and can expertly implement the crucial processes that will enable any government agency to successfully support and sustain an efficient process in accordance with budget and regulatory requirements. Proper planning and procedures are essential to ensure that the C&A aspect of your IT system operates cost effectively and efficiently.
We understand that documentation of security controls and process of IT systems is only the first step in the C&A process, and that systematic risk assessment and vulnerability analysis are necessary to identify potential areas to improve the C&A process. CryptoForensics can assist any agency to successfully navigate the challenges set forth in several regulations and standards, including:
Our C&A offerings include repeatable and efficient processes that streamline the C&A process to ensure the following objectives:
Our Comprehensive Suite of Solutions and Services . ..
Today, most enterprises try to deal with cybersecurity threats by focusing inwardly through conducting vulnerability assessments, making detailed network maps, and in some cases, deploying robust patch management processes to continuously monitor their networks and systems. While this approach provides some benefits, against many cyber threats it's ineffective. Most corporate networks are so large and complex that it's simply too difficult to identify all of their assets, or all of their vulnerabilities, and patch them fast enough. Today's cyber wrongdoers are sophisticated, well-funded, and patient—they use a wide range of techniques to penetrate even well-protected enterprises...
