• The Rapid Cyberattack Assessment contains a short survey and technical assessment of up to 500 Active Directory domain joined computers to help businesses understand their vulnerabilities to rapid and destructive cyberattacks. This assessment provides prioritized recommendations to mitigate rapid destructive attacks through the reports it generates. The prioritized recommendations are organized across 4 focus areas; Exploit mitigation, Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery, Lateral Traversal / Securing Privileged Access, and Attack Surface Reduction. After a short questionnaire, automated data collection and analysis, a custom report is generated which provides you the information required to implement and understand the recommendations. Your report includes an executive summary and key recommendations which provide a high level view across the focus areas to help you manage and prioritize the recommended mitigations for your environment. The detailed recommendations section of the Word report provides more explanation, rationale, and organizational impact information behind each of the recommendations.
