Cyber advisory

Thales’s Cyber Advisory service utilises Thales’s expert cyber security knowledge and experience in complex critical systems, to help solve your cyber challenges and securely integrate new technologies.

The situation

Organisations today are under constant pressure to adopt and evolve their digital infrastructures. Digital transformation strategies are encouraging more data and connectivity-centric approaches, underpinned by increased collaboration and online integration. However, business leaders do not appreciate or understand the cyber consequences of those digital transformation strategies, nor how to protect their technology investments over time. 
Traditional security models operate on the assumption that everything inside a corporate network can be trusted and strong boundary defences are required. But with the increased adoption of cloud services, remote working, and supply chain attacks, new security approaches are needed. Architecting and implementing these new security models is not always straight-forward, and the technology options available are often confusing and over-hyped.

As a result, digital strategies are often developed without security in mind nor the impact of certain technology choices, and technology leaders are unsure of how to effectively execute on them in line with security best-practice, and in line with existing corporate governance and risk models. Inevitably, commercial off-the-shelf solutions are not fit for purpose for the increasingly bespoke requirements of a cyber resilient business, and fail to meet organisational and national requirements. 

Therefore, new ways of working, including secure collaboration and remote access, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) can end up making your organisation more fragile than empowering.
