Build Resilience from the Inside Out

Assumed Breach

Put our penetration testers on the inside and ensure your networks can withstand the intrusion.

  1. Instead of waiting for a threat on the inside, River Security emulates it.

  2. Defenses should be built in-depth to not only withstand but to detect. River Security will pin-point the gaps.

  3. With River Security’s specialized methodology, customers gain both long-term strategic security direction and immediate, actionable measures.

Why “Assumed Breach” Matters

Adopting the mindset that users will get breached, and networks must be able to withstand it, is critical. Assumed breach means that River Security assumes the role of a breached user, and helps point out the weaknesses and flaws of the organization in that situation.

Users may unintentionally get breached, but sometimes breach is done by a trusted insider intentionally. Organizations should be able to withstand these risks.

Azets have had the pleasure of working with River Security and their proactive managed service “Active Focus” since late 2020. The service is unique and innovative, and very suitable for our organization which includes several subsidiaries spanning many European countries, most with their own IT portfolio. One of the differentiating features of River Security is that they focus on real threats and areas that need attention – so we not only know about vulnerabilities, dark web disclosures and other issues, but also how they will affect our business. The focus on a pragmatic and customized approach results in River Security getting integrated into our daily security operations, and we are quickly able to resolve matters.

From day one, the service from River Security has significantly improved our IT-security posture, and we have been supplied with precise, critical and relevant input immediately upon discovery.

As the uncertainty surrounding the situation in Europe continues, security in critical infrastructure is of higher importance than ever. Having an external party look at your company from an attackers’ point of view is crucial to identify weaknesses, but also to confirm good measures already in place.

Through a tendering process, we invited River Security to submit their proposal. They immediately understood the assignment, still they challenged us and brought life to new ideas and concepts.

Endgame was that they suggested a multi-phase delivery covering exactly what we (didn’t know we) needed. This made it easy to conclude what vendor to appoint amongst strong competitors.

They started with conducting an external digital footprint to give us an overview of all our digital assets and continued to perform inside penetration testing both remote and on-site.

At the end of the delivery, they held a thorough workshop to go through their findings and suggested measures to mitigate and reduce the risk of being successfully hacked by cyber criminals.

We receive complete reports from every phase, in addition to an executive summary describing what measures we need to focus on first.

Our experience from working with River Security is exclusively positive. Their competence, adaptability and knowledge sharing are without comparison.

We can safely recommend River Security.
