Your Trusted Partner in Cybersecurity

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Forthright’s Unified Cybersecurity Operations offer businesses end-to-end coverage 24x7x365, ensuring your organization is protected at all times. With a comprehensive, unified, and holistic service approach, you no longer need to worry about piecing together multiple tools—our solution takes care of everything, seamlessly and efficiently.

1. It’s no longer a solo hacker: Cybercrime and ransomware have evolved into lucrative businesses, targeting organizations of all sizes. It’s no longer just individual hackers; entire networks can be hired to attack, or insiders can be bribed to provide access. Additionally, bot-based attacks are prevalent, with automated scripts initiating breaches that are later managed by human threat actors. Most ransomware operations, including their responses, are automated, minimizing the need for human intervention after the initial code execution.
2. It’s no longer an immediate attack: Cyberattacks frequently include a covert stage during which intruders remain hidden in the system to broaden their reach and identify the best points for exploitation. In the past, these threats mainly aimed at administrative rights, but currently, any user who has access to data might pose a risk to the system. Quick identification of these breaches is vital for immediate containment. It’s crucial to know where the risks are in order to plan effective defense strategies that prevent attackers from reaching important data.
3. Tools aren’t enough: No single tool can handle all cybersecurity tasks. Even with multiple tools, it’s crucial to have dedicated personnel to manage and monitor them around the clock. This includes securing endpoint devices, patch management, monitoring alerts, resetting alarms, assessing tool effectiveness against evolving threats, and analyzing numerous incidents to identify suspicious activities requiring deeper scrutiny.

Managed Security Solution

Many internal IT/Security teams are capable of managing an organization’s cybersecurity tools. However, the question is, should they be doing this, or should they be outsourcing it to experts who specialize in cybersecurity 24 hours a day, every day? While internal teams may have the skills, they often lack the bandwidth to continuously monitor, analyze, and respond to emerging threats in real-time.

Outsourcing to a dedicated managed security provider ensures a proactive stance, with specialists who holistically analyze data from all sources, constantly adapt to new attack vectors, and have their “ears to the ground” on the ever-evolving threat landscape. This allows your internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives and core business functions, while the experts handle the heavy lifting of cybersecurity—around the clock, without pause.

Risk Advisory & Consulting Services

Building and maturing a robust cybersecurity program goes beyond simply identifying risks; it requires a deep understanding of the potential financial, operational, and reputational impacts that threats pose to your organization. It’s not just about knowing what could go wrong—it’s about understanding the real-world consequences and prioritizing defenses accordingly.

Our experts partner closely with your team, working as an integrated extension to assess your current IT security posture and identify gaps or vulnerabilities that may be overlooked. We dive deep into your unique environment to uncover hidden risks and pinpoint areas of exposure, providing a clear, strategic roadmap to elevate your cybersecurity maturity.

Leveraging advanced analytics, industry best practices, and our extensive experience, we deliver actionable recommendations tailored to your specific needs. This approach helps you mitigate risks effectively and safeguard your organization against evolving cyber threats, ensuring resilience as your program grows and adapts. From regulatory compliance to strategic risk management, we help you navigate the complexities of today’s digital landscape with confidence.

Tactical Testing

Our tactical team provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before they become costly cybersecurity incidents. These services include penetration testing, network vulnerability assessments, web application vulnerability testing, and wireless security audits. Each is meticulously crafted to uncover hidden weaknesses and deliver clear insights, empowering you to take decisive action.

We tailor our testing services to meet your organization’s specific needs, whether preparing a boardroom-ready presentation, achieving compliance for a regulatory audit, or aligning with budgetary constraints.

We also offer advanced social engineering tests, such as physical security penetration testing, and Red Team/Purple Team exercises that simulate real-world attack scenarios. These exercises rigorously test your organization’s defenses, preparedness, and response capabilities, providing valuable insights to strengthen your overall security posture.
