Overcoming Cyber Risks

Cyber risks have become a fundamental part of any organisation’s growth strategy. The ability to deal with them is no longer just about risk mitigation but a competitive edge. Private or public organizations alike across all sectors, have been swept by waves of digital transformation and innovative technology adoption. Everyone is transforming their operations and businesses to improve efficiency and increase productivity. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this transformation, and this will continue post-pandemic. This accelerating shift to the digital society and economy has generated a sea of opportunities and convenience for many. Yet, at the same time, it has opened doors to new cyber risks. This tension is further aggravated by the fact that, even before the pandemic, we were already facing challenges in protecting our organisations from cyber risks as we push for innovation to extract value from technology investments.

In response, organizations and CISOs today are rethinking how to protect valuable digital assets, apart from managing risks related to the fraught geopolitical environment. They are also focusing on ways to address increasingly stringent customer and regulatory scrutiny, along with disruptions to operations as companies adopt agile development and cloud computing.

Cyber as a Team Sports: An Approach that Breeds Success

A case in point, a large client was worried about the possibility of their data being compromised due to their traditional security methods. Ensign studied the client’s IT environment and pain points, and created an email exfiltration model powered by multi-dimensional AI. The AI-powered model enabled the client to successfully flag and stop potential leaks, protecting their sensitive data against cyber risks from internal and external.

Ensign has set its sights on dialing up its research, technology development and global business growth. These include AI-powered cyber analytics, including a patented Deep Embedded Self-Taught Learning System - a method for detecting suspicious network behaviours - as well as a patented Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA) model.
