ES2: The Proactive Security Dynamos
Frederic Drouin, MDBeing Australian Cyber Security experts, ES2 doesn’t only help organizations in securing their information but also emphasizes the support needed to help their employees succeed, grow, and be comfortable. “We have created the coolest office in Australia. Our aim is to give the best work environment to our employees such that it resonates in the services and solutions that we deliver to our clients,” adds Frederic. Through their services and solutions, ES2 help organizations in managing, reporting, and securing their essential data. The ES2 approach to client, security and solution challenges is ‘top-down’ where it focuses on strategy, governance, and architecture which then drives the technical outcomes.
Organizations invest profoundly on solutions, process, governance, and policies, but are not oblivious to the possibility of losing their data. “If they miss one inner link somewhere that is all an attacker needs to exploit a vulnerable system,” adds Frederic. Through their proactive and flexible delivery approach, ES2 endeavors to be that missing link in an organization’s security process. ES2 guides organizations through classifying their information, which will help their clients to understand which of their information needs the most protection.
ES2 also offers many Outsource Security Services inclusive of real-time monitoring, correlation, and expert analysis of security-related activity across client networks thereby improving the effectiveness of security investment by actively analyzing the logs and alerts from client systems security information. ES2’s experienced and qualified Security Analysts provide the context needed to eliminate false positives and respond to the true threats targeting client critical IT systems. ES2 also provides cloud assessment services to help organizations to identify and measure the risk associated with their data and educate them on how to protect that data in the cloud. According to Drouin, ES2 looks at the architecture from a network security point of view to help clients transform themselves into more segregated yet agile style of architecture. “We provide business-aligned and vendor-agnostic security architecture and solution design,” he says.
Managed Security Services are yet another service offered by ES2 to support customers’ Security and Solutions streams. ES2 caters primarily to two types of clientele, organizations asking for ES2 to implement a technology and those organizations that want to rationalize their departments. For the first type of client, ES2 implements technology as part of a project, and once implemented, the technology is transitioned over to the organization for them to manage and monitor internally. The other type of clients is looking for a different type of support; ES2 is able to take over the day-to-day management and administration of their security systems on their behalf. The BAU process is removed from the customer, but the solution stays with them. For instance, ES2 assisted WA Super in performing a holistic review of their Technical and Functional Security Controls as well as their Security Governance model. ES2 provided WA Super with a roadmap to ensure compliance with relevant legislation whilst mitigating risks to WA Super employees, members, and partners.
In addition, Security Awareness Training combined with Social Engineering is a unique service offered by ES2 to create heightened Security Awareness and resilience among all levels of their client organizations. Frederic also recommended that a Social Engineering engagement should take place before an organization begins a Security awareness training campaign. As the Social Engineering engagement would reveal existing vulnerabilities and identify key areas where an organization needs to upskill, train staff to change their behavior, and become aware of security weak points. ES2 are the first Security company in Australia to launch a 24x7 Incident Response Hotline.
ES2 have established a firm position in Australia and has plans to expand into the Asian market.
