The Solution.
Step ONE: GAP ANALYSIS
The first step was to carry out a full system cyber GAP analysis, which essentially identifies vulnerabilities in a company’s existing security environment. By looking at these vulnerabilities and points of weakness, we were able to show Hansel Henson where they were at risk and how their security issues could be resolved. Ultimately allowing us to help them make improvements to their security controls, policy and processes.
STEP TWO: IMPLEMENT SECURITY NETWORK CHANGES
✅ We turned on multifactor authentication: MFA is used to ensure users are who they say they are, and requests two or more pieces of evidence to successfully allow users access to their device. By enabling MFA users can reduce attack risk by almost 80%.
✅ We carried out an internal security audit where we examined their wireless
infrastructure, firewalls and switches; by checking their configuration and policies we were able to alleviate the risk of unauthorised user access. For example, as a method of first line of defence, we blocked ports on specific firewalls to limit certain types of inbound and outbound traffic.
✅ We implemented advanced security spam and malware filtering so any future phishing emails, which are the most common attack vectors in today’s threat landscape, would be blocked.
✅ We also implemented security policies to control and manage updates, this ultimately ensures the network remains secure and any vulnerabilities are addressed – Keeping Hansel Henson one step ahead of the threat.

STEP THREE: TRAINING
On top of technical security implementation, Hansel Henson were also given cyber security training, which covered essentials like:
✅ How to spot a phishing email; we ran a series of spoof email campaigns so employees could identify the methods used by hackers to gain access to company data.
✅ How to spot a whaling email; this is an extension of a phishing email, but this type of threat usually targets senior management and contains legitimate or official information.
✅ How to comply with methods of cyber security best practice; we educated Hansel Henson on topics such as password protection, open and closed WIFI networks and pop ups.

TWO-FOLD SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION
This two fold solution of technical security implementation and staff training has ensured Hansel Henson are not only protected from malicious external threats, but also safeguarded internally. At Stripe OLT, we think cyber-security education is not just essential for every business, but crucial for every employee.
