Post-Cyber Event Hardening
Hands-on security improvements after an incident
More than half of businesses that experience a security incident will have another one within two years.1 The reason is simple: getting back online isn’t the same as getting more secure. Without addressing the security vulnerabilities that made you a target in the first place, the door remains open to future attacks.
Most businesses walk away from an incident with a list of recommendations and no one to help execute them. With Post-Cyber Event Hardening, we dig deeper to find and address vulnerabilities across your environment, so you can close the gaps and help prevent the next attack.
The Missing Phase of Your Recovery
Post-Cyber Event Hardening is a post-claim service provided by At-Bay Security.2 Our dedicated security team assesses your risk, then works directly with your IT staff to find and address security vulnerabilities that could lead to another incident.
This is not just a to-do list. We’re there every step of the way to do the work with you.
What’s Included:
- Up to 100 hours of hands-on implementation from security experts
- In-depth analysis of your highest-risk security gaps, not a surface-level review
- Prioritized recommendations tailored to your specific tech stack
- Direct deployment support to implement fixes and improve security posture
- Structured, ongoing engagement with continuous tracking and support throughout your improvement journey
Addressing your security gaps doesn’t just reduce the risk of another attack. It also demonstrates that you’ve taken meaningful steps to improve your security posture after a cyber event.
What Services Are Available?
Every engagement starts with a thorough assessment of your environment — what happened, what’s exposed, and what needs to change. From there, we tailor a plan specific to your situation.
