When a flourishing South Florida software company was looking to test and improve their cybersecurity game, they began searching for a reliable team of IT professionals to help them make it happen. Here’s why they trusted the ECW team to provide dynamic penetration testing and cybersecurity services.

ECW Provides Comprehensive Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity Services for South Florida Corporation

Our team was recently contacted by a South Florida software company that was looking for a team of IT professionals to help them ensure their IT infrastructure was properly secured. Their business was growing and doing great, but it had been a while since they did a cybersecurity check-in. They wanted to make sure their IT systems were positioned to keep their business resources and data consistently secure.

We can’t say how impressed we were by this team of Florida professionals. Very often we have to spend a lot of time convincing new clients to take cybersecurity seriously. That was not the case with this South Florida software company. Not only did they recognize the value of cybersecurity, but they had also come to us to make it a priority. We knew right away that we wanted to work with this business and help them implement a reliable and robust cybersecurity effort.

The truth is, cybersecurity is one of our specialties. We work with Florida businesses and organizations every day to implement dynamic and layered cybersecurity solutions. We pride ourselves on helping businesses design, implement, and test cybersecurity measures to ensure they are positioned to protect business networks from end-to-end. We make sure that every client we work with can rest assured that their IT infrastructure is sufficiently and consistently secured.

Needless to say, we were eager to help this South Florida business enhance its cybersecurity game immediately. We’ve put together a quick breakdown of what this company was looking for and how we brought their vision to life. We believe our partnership with this South Florida company demonstrates just how valuable professional cybersecurity services are. We’re sharing the experience in hopes that other Florida businesses will be inspired to reach out for the cybersecurity support they need.

Why Was This South Florida Company On the Hunt for Strategic Cybersecurity Services

We were initially contacted by the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for this Florida company. He started by explaining the important background details about the organization. He informed us that their organization provided CRM software and services to pharmaceutical companies and that their IT infrastructure consisted of 10 domains and 32 IPs that he wanted to ensure were sufficiently secured.

As we mentioned, we were really impressed by this company’s proactivity. We were also impressed by the fact that the CIO had clearly spent some time thinking about the kind exact kind of cybersecurity support he was looking for. Above all, he had come to realize that by investing in cybersecurity services, his organization could avoid the potentially catastrophic costs associated with an unexpected cybersecurity breach.

More than anything, he explained that he wanted our team of IT security professionals to come in and conduct external penetration testing. Penetration testing is like running a fire drill on your IT infrastructure. It helps identify unforeseen risks and security gaps and helps ensure existing cybersecurity solutions are operating the way they’re supposed to be. Once the penetration testing was complete, this CIO was hoping that we could help them take a more strategic and holistic approach to IT security altogether.

Here’s the kind of cybersecurity services this South Florida corporation was looking for:

• Systems assessment – Before anything else, they wanted us to take a close look at their IT infrastructure so we had a clear idea of the existing cybersecurity measures they had in place. They wanted our professional opinion on their existing cybersecurity solutions and whether or not they were sufficient.
• Penetration testing – Once we had taken a close look at their cybersecurity infrastructure, and given our professional opinion about it, they wanted us to put it to the test. They were hoping we could conduct comprehensive penetration testing on their entire cybersecurity infrastructure to measure its effectiveness and identify critical vulnerabilities.
• Strategic cybersecurity planning – Once the penetration testing was complete and security gaps had been identified, they were hoping that our team of IT security specialists could help them approach cybersecurity strategically by designing and implementing detailed cybersecurity plans and policies.
• Longterm systems monitoring and maintenance – Finally, after the strategic cybersecurity planning off and running, they were hoping that we would stay on board with them to provide ongoing infrastructure monitoring and maintenance, along with long-term cybersecurity consultation services.

Needless to say, this Florida CIO came to us very prepared. He had a clear idea of what his organization needed and what the organization was hoping to get out of its investment in professional cybersecurity consultation. With our work cut out for us, we immediately got busy developing a customized cybersecurity service and support plan for this forward-thinking group of Florida professionals.

ECW Brings Dynamic & Strategic Cybersecurity Services to South Florida Software Company

Our team is well-versed in providing cybersecurity service and support to businesses of all shapes and sizes and in all industries. We know that when it comes to developing reliable and strategic cybersecurity services and support plans, there really is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we consider it critical to fully understand the IT infrastructure and operational needs of every business we work with.

So, after listening to this proactive CIO explain the organization’s IT infrastructure and his team’s operational needs, we were better positioned to create a customized approach to supporting the organization. We wanted to start from the ground up to ensure the penetration testing we conducted and the cybersecurity services we provided were designed to meet the unique needs of this South Florida business.

Here are the cybersecurity services we provided for this South Florida corporation:

Initial Cybersecurity Review & Consultation

As requested, the first thing we did was conduct a comprehensive assessment of their existing IT infrastructure and cybersecurity posture. We also took a close look at their everyday operations and consulted with them on the risks and opportunities they wanted to address by partnering with our team of IT security specialists.

Dynamic Penetration Testing & Risk Mitigation

Once our initial review and consultation were complete, we took the information we had gathered and developed a customized and dynamic penetration testing plan. We made sure that the penetration testing we conducted would measure the effectiveness of their cybersecurity infrastructure from end-to-end. Most importantly, we used penetration testing to identify significant vulnerabilities and security gaps and ensured they were patched with additional layers of security.

Cybersecurity Training 

In our effort to help them get strategic with cybersecurity, we then provided some comprehensive cybersecurity training for their team. While patching security gaps is important, one of the best ways to mitigate the risk of a cyber breach is to ensure that all end-users are aware of existing threats and that they know how to respond to them accordingly. We helped every member of the team understand the importance of the penetration testing we had conducted and helped them understand the best ways to identify, report, and respond to suspicious network activity.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning 

Another part of our commitment to strategic cybersecurity planning for this organization was to help them implement detailed disaster recovery and business continuity plans. While mitigating the worst-case scenario is important, it’s critical that organizations are also prepared to face the worst-case scenario as well. The unfortunate reality is that even with all the penetration testing, training, and preparation in the world, network breaches still happen. That’s why we helped this organization get concrete policies and procedures in place to ensure that everyone knew how to recover from a potential network breach and keep business moving no matter what.

Ongoing Cybersecurity Monitoring, Maintenance, & Support

Finally, we committed ourselves to stay on board as the trusted cybersecurity partner for this South Florida business. We explained that we would work to consistently monitor and maintain their cybersecurity posture and that we would always be on call to provide support. Most importantly, we explained that we would help them keep their cybersecurity infrastructure patched and up-to-date as conditions changed.
