Cyber Security
Security as an enabler for Cloud Migration and Digital Transformation
There are many business reasons to migrate to the cloud, but security is one that is often overlooked. The organizational resources to run on premises infrastructure are enormous and never enough. Each layer of edge, network, compute, and storage are potential point of failure, and not matter how talented a team is, they can never keep pace with the changing nature of cyber threats; the difficulty of constantly administering a firewall at an expert, world class level is overwhelming and drains resources that can be better spent more directly on an organization’s mission.
A digital transformation in the cloud is the most cost-effective method to improve cyber security and manage risk. By letting world-leading expects manage the data center stack, leaders and managers can refocus their security resources towards securing applications and data, where intimate knowledge is needed most. After migration, cloud-native digital transformation provides a quantum lead in security. By rebuilding applications and services natively in the cloud, security spend can be very narrowly tailored to the direct risks most in an organization's control, making the most efficient use of security resources.

Bespoke Risk Management
Enquizit provides experienced professionals that understand the richly complex ecosystem where cyber security improvements really happen. The root cause of most cyber security problems is organizational. Between the technology, the policy, the work force, and resources lies the push and pull with people where the most impactful change happens. Every organization has its own needs, pressures, risk tolerance, and constraints.
Our customers rely on Enquizit to provide risk management on the most difficult challenges. Cyber security and business risks are sometimes routine, and while we excel at providing that, our customers depend on when it matters most. In some cases, that means a critical compliance challenge, a program with incredibly high visibility, a new and untested technology, or a prioritized effort with few or no resources. For these efforts, there is no script or project plan to reuse. Our team understands how to bring important improvements in any organization. Our experience working across sectors and throughout the different parts of an enterprise IT environment provide Enquizit with the skills to quickly navigate novel challenges and deliver effective risk management under pressure and when it’s needed most.
Enterprise Security Consulting
Some cyber security challenges are narrow and specific. Most of our customers, however, benefit from a holistic review of the entire security Enterprise. These kinds of extensive reviews are needed at least every 2 to 3 years to keep up with changing technology and a rapidly growing threat landscape. Beyond routine reviews, an ad-hoc examination may be necessary after a significant breach or as part of a cloud migration / digital transformation.
Although we tailor this service to an organization’s needs, the service can include:
- Interviews and conversations with executives, business line leaders, and managers to review awareness of security risks and to establish an organization’s risk tolerance.
- A review of security spend with recommendations for aligning resources to risk mitigation that increase effectiveness
- An audit of policies, procedures, and documentation
- Threat modeling
- A full inventory of the data that is meant to be protected
- A review of the workforce and its alignment with the skills required to manage an organization’s risks
- An examination of the cyber risks from supply chain
- Technology review that measures the adequacy of security controls for managing business and cyber security risks
- The review or development of Strategic Priorities to align work to long term visions and plans
With the full support of leadership, a customer can expect the alignment of resource allocation with business, security, and technology priorities, full understanding of the risks facing them, how their resources are being used to mitigate those risks, how much risk remains, and the knowledge needed to make informed business decisions.
