RFA announces enhanced cyber security offering

RELATED TOPICS​

Specialist IT provider to the alternative investment sector, RFA, has announced advancements to their cyber security services enabling them to provide enhanced solutions to the private equity and hedge fund sector. 

As part of the continued growth and new developments RFA’s cybersecurity solutions and services are continuously improved, the firm writes, and the firm performs extended R&D in the sector, implementing the evolution of the vulnerability management program to deliver External Attack Surface Management and Dark Web Breach Exposure Monitoring solutions to clients. 

External Attack Surface Management provides visibility and risk assessment for organisations’ PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), Cloud, DNS (Domain Name System), Mail and Web internet-facing infrastructures, giving a holistic view of External Attack Surface, all the way down the Digital Supply Chain as well as any vendors implicated in these infrastructures, RFA says.

Dark Web Breach and Exposure Monitoring looks for exposed employee logins and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) against the largest repository of recovered breach data in the world, while alerting security teams to vulnerable accounts so they can take swift action to remediate. The platform enables enterprises to stay ahead of account takeover and targeted attacks like ransomware by detecting and resetting compromised passwords before bad actors can use them.

George Ralph, Global Managing Director and CRO at RFA says: “Our clients are always front of mind, and as a privately owned business we have the freedom to focus on R&D, therefore innovation and expertise go hand in hand across our entire business. The platform enables organisations to see and manage their online ecosystem and protect them from vulnerabilities as it continues to expand. The solution systematically tracks, analyses, and maintains the vast inventory of known and unknown assets and their connections to continuously identify and neutralise vulnerabilities before bad actors can exploit them. I am delighted that the team have yet again delivered an enhanced service to help our clients remain secure in uncertain times.”
