Overview

Our Singapore-based client, a leading HR management company, focuses on managing sensitive employee data and communications. Recognizing the critical importance of cybersecurity, they implement strong measures to safeguard operations and client information in the digital landscape.

CHALLENGE

The HR management company faced several significant cybersecurity challenges:

  • Frequent Phishing Attacks: The company was experiencing an increasing number of phishing attempts targeting employees. These attacks risked compromising sensitive data and unauthorized access to systems, requiring effective measures to mitigate these threats.
  • Weak Endpoint Security: With a substantial portion of the workforce operating remotely, ensuring the security of all endpoint devices was becoming increasingly difficult. This left the company vulnerable to malware and other cyber threats, necessitating robust endpoint security solutions.
  • Network Security Vulnerabilities: The internal network was at risk from external threats due to inadequate protection measures. This raised concerns about secure data transmission and potential breaches, highlighting the need for enhanced network security.
  • Insufficient Data Encryption: The company’s existing data encryption protocols were outdated, putting sensitive employee information at risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Upgrading these protocols was essential to protect sensitive
  • Extended Detection and Response (XDR): The company lacked comprehensive visibility and response capabilities across its various security layers, making it difficult to detect and respond to sophisticated cyber threats in a timely manner. Implementing XDR was necessary to enhance threat detection and response.
  • Access Control Rule Review: Existing access control rules were outdated and inconsistently enforced, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems. A thorough review and update of these rules were necessary to ensure secure access management.
