Corporate Risk Solutions Inc., (CRSI): Building a Secure and Protected Environment

Enterprise security can only be as strong as its weakest link; even a single vulnerable point could snowball into a major threat, putting countless datasets and systems at risk. For this very reason, enterprises are looking at obtaining predictable results regarding risk exposure, since reactive solutions such as security patch management alone cannot handle the threats. Corporate Risk Solutions Inc., (CRSI)—a premier security consulting organization takes a more proactive approach by enabling its clients to maneuver the challenges through a comprehensive strategy that encompasses physical and cybersecurity. “We consider physical security and cybersecurity as two sides of the same coin, as assets pertaining to the latter are guarded by the former,” states Scott Roe, CRSI’s President, CEO and Chairman.

CRSI works under the Culture of Compliance (CoC) framework that includes all stakeholders of a client— the employees, leadership, partners, and customers—for spreading awareness on phishing attacks and potential internal threat vectors. Patrick Shore, director, sales and marketing at CRSI, says that CoC focuses on five “lenses,” namely preventive, detective, corrective, collaborative, and innovative, to secure an organization’s physical and cyberenvironment.

When it comes to safeguarding physical assets like Bulk Electric System (BES) cybersystems, CSRI develops appropriate security plans and strategies where they take into account all the key performance indicators that would positively impact the implementation for the client. The physical security assessment tool developed by CSRI can mine historical threat data, and monitor the facilities round-the-clock to report on potential threats.

Meanwhile, the process of implementing a cybersecurity solution begins with the Cyber Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) that assesses the impact on networks, and the results help in building appropriate firewalls for the network traffic. Following this, secure firewall access points, VPN tunnels for connectivity, jumphost, encryption, and monitoring of data at rest and transit are provided. Further, web content filtering and blacklisting of malicious websites are incorporated as well.
