Incident and Threat Management

Protecting your business through layered defences

Confidently prepare, identify, respond, investigate and remediate threats.

Unplanned events can arise anywhere, at any time. Each incident is different: some you know in advance; some you know could happen one day and others are just impossible to predict. Therefore, the ability to prepare, respond and emerge stronger from threats and economic crime requires specialised expertise and an understanding of key business issues.

Our PwC services assist you to recognise threat when you see it and manage it dynamically through identifying your critical assets and processes and developing resilience plans to protect them from major incidents.

Threat and Vulnerability Management

Your Challenges

  • Are you aware of the vulnerability of your information systems and how critical they are?
  • Are you managing vulnerabilities in compliance with the latest regulations?
  • Have you already assessed the effectiveness of your patch and vulnerability management processes?
  • Are you satisfied that your network is adequately secured against a malicious hacker?
  • Are you willing to test the overall effectiveness of your security infrastructure?
  • Are you willing to test your organisation’s ability to respond to advanced attacks through real simulation exercises?
  • Do you want to detect insecure coding practices in your application source code?
  • Is your application stable under various loads and responds quickly enough for the potential users?

Social Engineering

Your Challenges

  • Are your employees aware of the common attack vectors?
  • Are you willing to know how many employees in your organisations are susceptible to phishing or vishing attacks?
  • Do you want to assess the security awareness culture of your organisation and find out how effective is your security awareness training?

Operational Technology (OT)

The focus of the cybersecurity industry has been on developing solutions for the enterprise Information Technology (IT) systems. There is now increasing attention on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) or Operational Technology (OT) systems - the integration of hardware and software with network connectivity to control industrial processes.

The term ‘operational technology’ (OT) refers to the hardware and software used to control industrial processes and infrastructure, particularly in industries such as energy, mining, utilities, manufacturing and transport. A cyber-attack on an OT environment can have serious and wide-ranging consequences beyond just financial losses - including prolonged outages of critical services, environmental damage and even the loss of human life.

As Mauritius moves towards a Smart City, the increasing integration of IT and OT systems means that any disruption of OT systems will potentially have a cascading impact across sectors. 

Your Challenges

  • Are your OT systems well protected and secured?
  • Are you willing to test the overall effectiveness in your OT networks, process control systems and critical infrastructure?
  • Do you want to understand cybersecurity risks pertaining to OT systems and applying cybersecurity controls and best practices?
  • Is your business reliant on OT networks to control your critical industrial operations and do you need assistance to enhance the cybersecurity posture of your OT systems?
