A major cybersecurity event can affect billions of dollars in assets and damage a hard-earned reputation. Protecting yourself takes foresight and resilience — folding risk considerations into business decision making, while upgrading security protections in the IT environment.

Despite the speed, variability, and growing commercial implications of breaches and other cyberattacks, most institutions still manage digital security in a way that feels distinctly old-fashioned — by delegating responsibility to IT or security, by using protections designed to meet yesterday’s attacks, and by applying burdensome restrictions that impede innovation.

CTC’s approach integrates cyber-resilience into management and governance processes and extends that integration deep into the technology environment, providing differentiated protection for an institution’s most important assets.

Aligning security with business objectives

Our goal is to help businesses direct the most rigorous defense mechanisms toward the most important information assets. We help clients determine what to protect and how much to spend through a combination of evidence-based assessments, a software-enabled methodology that helps companies prioritize their business risks and assets, and strategies and tactical plans that align the company’s risk posture and cybersecurity approach with its business objectives.

Moving quickly to stay protected

Swift, efficient, and highly refined processes can prevent an incident from starting or escalating. Our incident-simulation tools and threat libraries allow us to run detailed scenarios to reveal the issues, capabilities, and plans required to help companies respond to a significant breach in real time.

By designing those processes using lean practices, we allow businesses to reduce errors and lag time and gain the benefit of standardizing and scaling the most effective practices — so risks are detected and mitigated quickly.

CTC supports the cybersecurity of critical defense weapons systems through the management of our client’s network and systems. We conduct vulnerability assessments, cyber forensic analysis, and system security audits and reviews. Our technical experts respond and resolve cyber incidents and help document cybersecurity policies and improve our clients’ resiliency. To ensure fully operational weapons, our team assesses and defines network requirements in support of future requirements and weapons capabilities. Additionally, we help plan for and deploy new technologies (hardware and software), performance, capacity, availability, serviceability, and recoverability.
