Leveraging privileged access management, various clouds and their users can be helped in a controlled fashion. When planned properly, the strong access rights are protected in a way where the malicious users have more difficult access to the privileged accounts decreasing breaches, while the correct users see benefits of simpler access to the various cloud services.

When moving to the cloud, agility and speed is the key and as a result management of privileged users may be initially be seen as a burden. These may include root or admin accounts, privileged user accounts, service accounts, application accounts or domain admin accounts. The burden is often initially ignored resulting in privileged rights being shared throughout different organizations and companies with eg. the cloud service provider, application developers, system integrator, internal developers etc. As the amount of different clouds and privileged users grows the management of these become a very time-consuming or less secure practice. Additionally, accounts with higher access rights than regular users, or privileged accounts, are frequently misused in breaches.

It is often impossible to run a separate security audit for each production release. Most companies have an increasing number of services, applications and components listening to the network and available for partners, customers, employees and virtually to everyone. While this is great for business, the complexity or the exposed systems have gone - or will soon go - through the roof. A bug bounty program can help you manage the complexity in an agile manner - and we can run it for you.

A bug bounty program does not completely replace the need for more traditional assessments or security engineering work, but it cost-effectively complements them.

For your distinct need, we provide two models for running the bug bounty program.

Private Bug Bounty Program:

Our expert team helps to define the digital boundaries where external hackers are allowed to operate. It can be a single application or a network of hundreds of targets.

Our expert team with proved skills and track record in successful bug hunting starts going through digital space and searching for anything a malicious actor could use.

Once weakness is found and confirmed, we report it to you using the method most suitable for you.

We help respond to the flaws by providing Nixu’s competences. Regardless of the need – we are here to help.

And we keep on going as long as our contract remains in effect.

Amendment of the Act on Strong Electronic Identification and Electronic Trust Services in Finnish legislation, put in force 1st of July 2016, requires service providers of strong electronic identification and signature to assess their compliance and deliver proof of compliance to the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA).

We are a certification authority approved by FICORA and provide customers with electronic identification and trust service assessments. We are an excellent partner for assessments, as we also have extensive experience on many other security frameworks.

Our specialists support building your cloud environment according to recommendations provided by the vendor as well as our own experience derived from working with various cloud technologies and being a member of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). With our help you can rest assured that your cloud services are built securely to ensure proper business outcomes and continuity.

With ramping up Infrastructure or Platform as a Service several services can be utilized quickly by several parties to decrease time to market. However, taking into account all security recommendations that are relevant for all parties for all services may be cumbersome. Nonetheless, in case these are not addressed properly, the end result may be a sub-optimal solution security wise. These may be costly and time consuming to address later on in the service lifecycle, possibly leading to downtime for the business and in the worst case scenario losing critical business data and reputation.

We can help assess the relevant risks for different cloud providers be it a technical assessment or administrative risk based approach to ensure that all the relevant measures and controls are in place to protect your business. Furthermore, we can help you assess that the certifications that the cloud providers have are relevant to you and cover relevant operations. When taking into use new cloud services we help ensure that the services are safe to use.

As companies have started adopting cloud at an increasing pace, several cloud providers have started providing specific services for different business units be it HR, Sales, Finance or Marketing. The benefits of these new solutions are often invaluable, however prior to moving business critical operations and data to the cloud these providers should have sufficient security measures in place.

We help our customers draw up a Cloud Security Framework to support their transformation based on methods we have developed over the years as well as utilizing knowledge developed with Cloud Security Alliance. The result of the Cloud Security Framework is a model, which identifies and mitigates the risks through safe processes covering e.g. vendor lock in, necessary controls, permitted data, and availability.

Generally, organizations have a cloud strategy or an idea on what cloud services to use and for what use cases. The benefits of the use case are generally well drawn out and compared to costs of implementing the cloud services. However often the risks associated with the use case may not be well defined if at all. This may result in making decisions based on an incomplete business case and in the worst case ending up in a difficult situation to remediate all the risks.

When moving to the cloud, we help you ensure that the relevant risks are identified and can be addressed accordingly. Our specialists can utilize different threat modeling frameworks to help define which one is most relevant for your business. We have vast experience in conducting threat modeling and analysis for products and services. The main benefit of Threat Modelling is to identify relevant threats and risks to provide valuable information for rational security investments and decisions.

When taking into use cloud services or building them yourself a generic model for security investments is made across the project without clear visibility on what the real threats and risks are. Therefore, it may be challenging to see the whole picture and whether the investments are reasonable and provide the appropriate value for that specific use case.

The Collaborator Security Audit Service provides customers possibility to verify that security status of their partners and collaborators does not create unacceptable risks, the contractual requirements for security are followed and that the processes and security governance of collaborators is sound and according to industry best practices. Nixu auditor will identify business critical assets, which are exposed to collaborators, and either verifies that contractually agreed security controls are protecting these assets or that the assets are protected based on industry best practices.

We also assess the compliance of identification and trust services. A legislative amendment that entered into force in 2016 requires all service providers providing strong electronic identification and electronic signatures to perform a compliance assessment and submit the assessment result to the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority. The providers of identification devices, identification services and identification brokering services are all considered to be service providers. Requirements are largely based on the EU eIDAS regulation and commonly applied standards, such as ISO 27001.

Applications need to be developed fast and sometimes speed is the enemy for quality and security. What about the server software you just purchased? Is it free from plaguing security vulnerabilities that can cause you expensive downtime? And does your IT service provider install security fixes swiftly after they have been released?

By applying continuous web application scans for applications and computing platforms that are accessible via Internet, your organization can be assured that most obvious software vulnerabilities are discovered and reported. Continuous scanning significantly reduces the probability of production failures and other disturbances. Timely reporting ensures that responsible parties can execute prioritized remedy actions over your most critical computing assets.

We measure your web applications’ threat exposure from an information security point of view. When vulnerability scans are continuous and automated, the effectiveness of Vulnerability Management process is also measured as a whole, by revealing the remedy rate of found vulnerabilities.

Our service covers  the canning technology and its maintenance including required license, regular vulnerability scans of the selected applications IT infrastructure platforms, and reports on the results as well as 24/7 support and contact point in Nixu Support Center.

Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) developed by Cloud Security Alliance is a set of criteria aimed at providers of cloud computing services. The key principle is to provide users of cloud services transparency as well as assurance on the security of cloud service providers. CSA STAR certification can be obtained on top of ISO 27001 certification.

We tailor a cybersecurity awareness program to ensure a perfect fit for your organization's operational environment. Depending on your needs, we will adjust the awareness program content from general security topics to in-depth technical knowledge in your domain of expertise. The awareness program can include, e.g., e-learning, nanolearning, face-to-face training sessions, exercises, testing, and special events such as escape rooms. 

According to your requirements and expectations, we create a time-limited program for cybersecurity education: a cybersecurity day, week, or even a month. The program target is to raise personnel awareness on cybersecurity threats, to promote cybersecurity in everyday life, and to provide means to protect oneself online. The event program contains lectures, exercises, and tips about good practices. The activities can range from brief sessions for teams or simulated phishing attacks over e-mail.

A cybersecurity exercise helps your organization improve and accelerate your ability to react, e.g., for data breaches, recover from them, and reduce their impact. After the training, your organization has better capabilities to detect and deter cyberattacks before your operations are compromised. In the exercise, we simulate a crisis that the participants solve by following existing processes and documentation. The simulation also serves as a means to improve the procedures and documents.

The changes in your digital working environment may be rapid. However, you can still ensure that you are doing the right things to develop your cybersecurity optimally. We help you to improve the cybersecurity maturity of your organization and plan a roadmap.  This way, you can efficiently plan and prioritize cybersecurity investments. We give you a 360-degree view on your cybersecurity maturity level compared to the international framework and industry best practices.

We help spread knowledge and readiness in cybersecurity within your organization with the classroom training sessions or via online self-study. Each method has its merits; classroom training can be very interactive, while online training fits more easily into employees' busy schedules. We  customize and deliver the training according to your wishes, utilizing the extensive experience of arranging cybersecurity training for small and large organizations.

One of our services is ISO 27001 certification audits. The ISO 27001 certification is suitable for all organizations that care for their information security, particularly those that wish to prove to third parties that they are following secure practices. ISO 27001 focuses on the security management system. We also offer the opportunity to combine other frameworks – such as CSA STAR, VAHTI, Katakri and PCI – in the same inspection.

The best practices of cloud computing services are also described in standards ISO 27017 and ISO 27018. Officially, it is not possible to obtain a certification against these standards, but, in the context of the ISO 27001 certification, Nixu Certification Oy can provide the customer a statement of its compliance with these controls.

Katakri refers to the set of National Security Auditing Criteria that serve to evaluate an organization’s ability to protect classified information of authorities. Katakri is also used as a tool in conducting corporate security audits. Katakri consists of three subdivisions:

• T: for security management
• F: for physical security
• I: for information assurance

While an official Katakri approval requires the assessment of all three subdivisions, an inspection body can issue a statement on an assessment that covers only a certain part of operations.

When applications are developed fast, sometimes speed is the enemy of quality and security. What about the server software you just purchased? Is it free from plaguing security vulnerabilities that can cause you expensive downtime? And does your IT service provider install security fixes swiftly after they have been released?

We measure your environments' threat exposure from an information security point of view. We translate technical vulnerability data to executive decisions on information security.

Our vulnerability scans are continuous and automated. You will get:

• Expert analysis of current vulnerabilities and mitigation recommendations. 
• Information on how resilient your information systems and networks are against common threats.
• Information on the effectiveness of the vulnerability management process as a whole: How quickly are your vulnerabilities getting fixed?

By applying continuous scans for applications and computing platforms accessible via the internet (or internal network), your organization can rest assured that most obvious software vulnerabilities are discovered and reported. Continuous scanning significantly reduces the probability of production failures and other disturbances. Timely reporting ensures that responsible parties can execute prioritized remedial actions over your most critical computing assets.

Our service covers the scanning technology and its maintenance, including required licenses, regular vulnerability scans of the selected applications’ IT infrastructure platforms, reports on the results, and 24/7 support and a support center contact point. Contact us for more information.
