Theos Cyber Solutions
Augmenting Security Posture

As cybercriminals prove to be adept and insidious, protecting enterprise information proves to be of paramount importance for businesses of all sizes. The tremendous growth of the security market and the latest advancements in technologies such as ML and AI are leading a majority of security providers to focus on complex advanced solutions that primarily cater to larger enterprises. However, studies suggest that small and medium businesses are equally if not more targeted as much as large enterprises as they lack the necessary resources and full-time security experts. With increasing threats and attacks on their systems, SMEs are trying to understand the possible ways to tighten their security and safeguard their businesses. One company making great strides in helping the SMEs to deploy the right technologies and improve their security posture is Theos Cyber Solutions. The company is on a mission to empower individuals and businesses to thrive in the new digital age by focusing on security fundamentals with their pragmatic and efficient solutions.

“Our objective is to aid small and medium-sized businesses in identifying the right way to go about security,” begins Alex Hudelot, founder and CSO of Theos Cyber Solutions. The company’s portfolio of cost-effective offerings includes products and services such as endpoint security, cloud security, vulnerability management and threat monitoring and response which can be deployed immediately to derive significant benefits. Theos Cyber Solutions’s Cybersecurity Healthcheck provides organizations an extensive insight on the possible security implementations required to strengthen their security within a span of two weeks. Along with the quick wins and improvements, Theos’s solutions provide organizations a competitive edge by forecasting their security strategy and investment plans for the future.

A notable aspect of Theos Cyber Solutions’ products is the standard security architecture deployed at a progressive pace in organizations.

After implementation, Theos Cyber Solutions manages the robust security framework on behalf of the clients relieving them of additional operational burdens. The components of this architecture work collectively with other products and technologies present in organizations to identify the issues, remediate and eliminate the threats present in the environment. The architecture requires a very minimal skill set up-gradation and relieves the client of the stress of securing the enterprise from internal and external threats.

Theos Cyber Solutions follows a three-step procedure while engaging with a client regarding their security set up. The initial process includes conducting assessments to understand what is critical in the client’s business. The company then benchmarks the client’s existing system against an international standard or according to what the ongoing trend in the industry is. Subsequently, the team derives a plan or a roadmap, streamlines their improvements into an ongoing service model, manages the system and gradually brings in other enhancements for better quality.

The effectiveness of Theos Cyber Solutions’ offering can be well described with a client success story. Hudelot narrates the case of a product design and manufacturing company who approached Theos Cyber Solutions to improve their security posture. The medium-sized company with operations in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. had a number of potential investors interested in obtaining a stake with them. This investor involvement resulted in an investigation which identified a major number of threats with a key requirement to improve the security. “We followed the three-step approach, deployed the Cybersecurity Healthcheck and identified the key issues. Over the course of two months, we completed four projects with the fifth one in progress,” adds Hudelot. Theos Cyber Solutions currently managed the company’s network and endpoint security while reporting the progress on a regular basis to senior management.

As a part of their expansion plans, Theos Cyber Solutions aims to scale their business from a capability and structural standpoint. The team has offices in Hong Kong and the Philippines and intends to open a third in Southeast Asia and establish their first cybersecurity operations center with 24/7 support by 2020. In conclusion, Hudelot says “Security does not need to be complex, expensive or tedious. It just needs the right approach, expertise and commitment which we are here to provide.”
