By

Every time, an employee of an organization clicks on a phishing website, every time he/she encounters a malicious website and every time any private information is being entered in to public system, security infringement becomes evident. Even though organizations understand the value of online information security, the efforts made by them to protect the same seem deficient. Additionally, majority of the vendors offering solutions to bolster online security at times fail to save organizations from being the target of cyber attackers. Engaging in Cyber Security Risk and Assurance services, ECD Global, headquartered in London, provides compelling offering for cyber security and audit testing as well cost effective offshore security services for its customers.
ECD has a differentiated methodology to design solutions and responds to every technological problem logically. “We differentiate ourselves by selling value with the help of our solution selling capabilities and unique blend of services”, says Kiran Shanmugam, Director and CEO at ECD Global.

Understanding the customer needs and acknowledging the imperativeness of traditional network security like firewall, ECD relies on containerization, virtualization, NAC, AV/Antimalware to secure all the endpoints and design security models.
ECD with its thorough understanding of potential threats has built robust identity management, risk management and incident management strategies. To roll out IAM solutions, the company has engaged itself with ‘Ping Identity’ and Convisint cloud based, identity driven network. “We think there is a great opportunity here, not just to deploy net new IAM solutions but to go back and replace older complex solutions can reinforce IAM network”, says Kiran.

The company uses several frameworks and tools to identify both technical and process born risk and goes ahead to offer solutions based on the risk.
