Crisis Management

Stream's Crisis Management service offers the following benefits:

Objectivity and Clarity: Access to Crisis Management experts provides objectivity in the decision-making cycle.  Stream's cybersecurity professionals are not emotionally invested in the business but invested in its survivability.  They bring clarity during difficult times.

Prior Planning:  Developing a plan ahead of time equips an organization with the ability to handle unexpected emergencies effectively and serves to minimize potential harm. By pre-identifying risks and responses, it ensures swift and coordinated action, reducing downtime and financial losses.

Broadens Perspective: During a cybersecurity incident involving a breach, the issue is less about the technical issue to be addressed and more the survival of the business in terms of customer communications and reputation management.  Restoring a network is relatively easy when compared to restoring an organization's reputation.

Stakeholder Participation: Having a plan to manage a crisis fosters a culture of preparedness and resilience among employees, boosting confidence and morale.

Regulation and Compliance: Crisis Management preparation helps to ensure an organization remains in compliance with regulatory reporting requirements, helping to avoid legal complications in the aftermath.

Unique Access: Through our relationships with academia, we are able to access The Cyber Range and truly test the efficacy of a Crisis Management plan based on several different scenarios ranging from an elementary "Website Defacement" up to a "Ransomware Attack".

Stream's Security Awareness Training service offers the following benefits:

Reducing Risk of Cybersecurity incidents: Proper training can significantly reduce the chances of falling victim to cybersecurity attacks. Employees who are aware of phishing schemes, suspicious links, and the importance of using strong passwords, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Social Engineering Techniques are less likely to inadvertently expose the organization to security breaches.

Enhancing Incident Response: Employees trained in cybersecurity are more likely to recognize signs of a security breach and respond appropriately.  This prompt recognition and response can minimize damage, reduce downtime, and ensure business continuity.

Compliance with Regulations: Many industries have regulations that require companies to maintain certain cybersecurity standards.  Training helps ensure that employees understand these requirements and the organization remains compliant, thus avoiding legal and financial penalties.

Building a Security Culture: Regular training fosters a culture of security within the organization. It promotes vigilance and a shared responsibility among all employees to protect the organization’s digital assets.

Protecting Organizational Reputation: A single cybersecurity incident can damage an organization's reputation significantly.  By reducing the likelihood of breaches through awareness training, organizations can protect their credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of customers and partners.

Stream's Cybersecurity Plans Evaluation service offers the following benefits:

Objective Insights: A third-party evaluator brings an unbiased perspective to the assessment process.  This ensures that the review is impartial and not influenced by internal politics or preconceptions, potentially uncovering risks or vulnerabilities that internal teams might overlook.

Expertise and Experience: Third-party evaluators are typically experts in the field of cybersecurity and have broad experience across different industries and technologies.  This expertise helps in identifying unique vulnerabilities, understanding emerging threats, and suggesting the best practices that internal teams might not have considered.

Enhanced Credibility: An evaluation by a reputable third party can enhance an organization's credibility with stakeholders, including customers, investors, and regulatory bodies.  Demonstrating that cybersecurity measures have been independently assessed and validated can build trust and confidence.

Compliance and Regulations: Third-party evaluators can help ensure that an organization's cybersecurity practices comply with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. This is particularly important in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and data services, where non-compliance can result in significant penalties.

Focused Improvement: By identifying specific weaknesses in an organization’s cybersecurity posture, a third-party evaluation can help prioritize security investments and improvements. This targeted approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently to areas that will provide the most significant benefit in terms of risk reduction.
