Cyber security services

Deloitte’s security management professionals will show you how to make a steep change in managing IT security by improving your organisation’s security structure, governance and approach. 

We help organisations identify key risks and effect change to protect sensitive information and systems while remaining in compliance with complex and diverse personal information international laws and regulations. 

Our security transformation experts take time to understand your risk appetite before creating a security improvement program that suits your organisation.

We understand all aspects of IT security including data privacy, payment cards security, strategy and governance, training and awareness, mobile device management and third-party cloud security.

The growing list of organisations suffering IT security breaches highlights how vulnerable many organisations are to such threats.

The loss of sensitive data or personal information, and denial of services are often the result of sophisticated cyber attacks by well resourced criminals.

Without the right security strategy, these breaches can lead to financial loss, damage to reputation, operational downtime and a host of regulatory compliance and governance issues. Recent cases show that repercussions can extend all the way to the board.

Our global experience enables us to help you build security capabilities that are crucial in defending against the impacts of a cyber attack by anticipating and preventing threats before they happen.

Most reports on cyber security revolve around a common theme: despite heightened attention and unprecedented levels of security investment, the number of cyber incidents — and their associated costs — continues to rise. They typically point to the growing sophistication of hackers and other adversaries as a particularly intractable problem and some deliberate over whether being secure is even possible in today’s rapidly evolving landscape of cyber attacks. Important questions, though, remain unaddressed. In particular: what are the underlying reasons for this trend and how can organizations actually reverse it to start winning the cyber risk battle?

Enterprises have to go on the offense to protect themselves from a rising tide of cyber crime. Collective intelligence and human judgment supported by advanced security analytics can help.

As personal, commercial, and government activities continue to migrate to the digital realm, so do criminals. Large-scale cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and more costly for businesses in the United States. Attackers are better funded, more sophisticated, and better organized than in the past, often representing criminal networks or states. Dozens of US banks have suffered cyber attacks over the last year at the hands of foreign attackers.

As enterprises and government agencies increasingly adopt cloud, mobile, and social computing, information technology (IT) environments are becoming more difficult to defend. Increasingly, organizations need to accept that security breaches are inevitable.

Perspectives of Health Care Information Security Executives

Networked medical devices and other mobile health (mHealth) technologies are a double-edged sword: They have the potential to play a transformational role in health care but also may be a vehicle that exposes patients and health care providers to safety and cybersecurity risks such as being hacked, being infected with malware and being vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Patient safety issues—injury or death—related to networked medical device security vulnerabilities are a critical concern; compromised medical devices also could be used to attack other portions of an organization’s network.
