Secure Cyber Gaps Before They Are Exploited

Stay ahead of threats with proactive testing.

Even the best cybersecurity policies, procedures, and controls cannot guarantee protection against a cybersecurity incident. Rather than waiting for an incident to identify gaps in a firm’s cyber defenses, leading firms take a proactive approach, testing and validating their cybersecurity defenses to identify and close vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.

Regular testing is essential to maintaining strong cyber defenses and is increasingly a regulatory expectation. Financial services firms are expected to stress test their programs through assessments, penetration testing, tabletop exercises, and simulated breaches. These practices help reduce business risk, meet regulatory expectations, improve readiness, and validate security controls.

ACA Aponix helps clients assess and strengthen their ability to contain and recover from cybersecurity incidents. Our in-depth analyses are designed to minimize downtime and reduce the financial impact of cybersecurity breaches. Most importantly, we provide confidence that your cybersecurity program will perform when it matters most.

Stay ahead of attackers by identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Contact us to get started.
