Building Cyber Resilience for a Semiconductor Company
The Problem
Semiconductor companies face growing threats looking to infiltrate vital tech supply chains that could result in huge financial and operational impacts. Assessments reveal gaps like antiquated systems, lack of data controls, and poor incident response.
Overall security posture scores low against benchmarks, risking IP loss, infrastructure attacks and regulatory non-compliance violations.
Intelligence-Driven Detection
CyGlass deployed on firewalls identifies real-world attack tactics based on MITRE framework intelligence. This enables customized threat alerting tailored to the environment.
The Solution
A strategic roadmap aims to systematically improve and mature security over time toward a defined target state aligned with guidelines like NIST CSF.
Prioritized initiatives include:
- Quick Wins
- MFA, updated firewalls
- Workstation hardening
- Deeper Gains
- Cloud architecture optimization
- Automated asset/patch management
- Security operations capabilities
Simulated attacks continuously validate and optimize defenses.
- Securing Finances and Compliance
Evaluating cyber insurance creates a critical safeguard against losses including fines, lawsuits and recovery costs. Staying compliant with industry regulations ( SEC's disclosure requirements ) is also a key objective.
