6 Big Reasons to Choose Skilled Cyberto Support Your Computer Network

1

Independently Audited Systems. Skilled Cyber is not your average managed technology provider. We pride ourselves on being secure so that we can ensure you are secure. We back up that pride by subjecting our systems and process to recurring independent security testing and evaluation by multiple providers. Our technicians receive weekly industry insider training on the very latest emerging threats and malicious techniques to protect ourselves and our customers. We offer the same in-depth assessments through our 3rd party evaluator. We facilitate the scan and assist you with resolving any issues discovered.

2

Regulatory Compliance. Skilled Cyber is HIPAA compliant. This means our business process, system hardening, and employees undergo regular evaluation, training, and assessment. Our compliance is meaningful even if your business does not need to be HIPAA compliant. Our employees are trained to handle your business information with the same privacy as your doctor handles your healthcare information. As a result of our experience, we offer Compliance-as-a-Service for HIPAA, PCI, and others. This is an affordable month-to-month service that will get you compliant and keep you compliant. It even provides you direct assistance if you have the unfortunate luck of being audited for compliance.

3

Security Services. When Skilled Cyber decided to become HIPAA compliant and then subject our systems to independent security audits, we had to up our game. We had to install and use the highest level of protection we could find. As a result of our own experience, we found what really worked and what didn’t. Today we offer a wide range of advanced and integrated services to protect your business with a comprehensive solution.

Cloud Experience. In 2013 Skilled Cyber became Connecticut’s first Amazon Web Services cloud partner. This was years before Microsoft launched Office 365 and Azure. Since then, Skilled Cyber has been installing and maintaining systems at AWS for small businesses across Connecticut. We have experience from a 3-user accounting firm to a 150-user Medical Care provider. We can help you learn about, transition, and run your systems at the world’s largest cloud provider.

We offer two services around Cyber Insurance. First, because of our industry experience we have over 100 audit review elements to evaluate your insurability. In 2022 we have found that renewals for coverage have seen an average increase of 50% and up to 150% for those who don’t have all the security settings required by the carrier. Second, we can refer our clients to our carrier where they receive special discounts due to the security setting and process we put in place.

So, what’s a Penetration test you ask? It’s a controlled cyber-attack on your business to find out what a hacker could do if they got inside. How do they get inside? 1 in 5 employees click a link in a phishing email, that’s how. If you have never tested your own cyber security this is a great way to get started.

Recurring Penetration Test

This is the next step. Recurring testing is a more detailed investigation of your system including your cloud services like Office 365, your firewall and loads of things that hackers use to spread mayhem in your business. Every quarter or after significant changes in your environment, a new scan is performed to validate your progress and ensure things are still configured properly.

Tabletop Exercises

One of the largest and most overlooked tools in any security program is a practical test of how your team would respond to an emergency situation. Tabletop exercises bring together technical teams, executives and selected outside professionals to walk through what the team would do in the event of a specified disaster. The deliverable is an updated and tested process your team can easily follow.

Risk Assessments

Every facility executive is responsible for minimizing risk. A risk assessment is an outsider’s view of those risks. Our half-day process engages your team in a discussion of specific risks and mitigating factors. During our assessment debriefing you receive a prioritized list of risks and action items to build budgets with confidence and target identified security gaps. Spend your budgets wisely with planning and confidence.

Gaps that are often identified through our penetration testing and security assessment programs.
