Top Secret Government Agency Engages AKATI Sekurity For Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment & Breach Assessment

With the rise of cyber threats and government bodies being favourite targets for attackers, a top secret government agency in Asia Pacific has taken on the path of hardening their information security posture. AKATI Sekurity was tasked to assess the Agency’s security posture, to identify network security flaws and assess the level of the criticality of vulnerabilities as well as to carry out a breach assessment.

As a government agency, the client was concerned about data breaches that have become frequent, especially from politically motivated threat actors. Aside from that, terrorist attacks on critical public infrastructure and services were also a worrisome factor. Moreover, the massive data held by this government agency had proved to be very attractive for cybercriminals with motivations.

To avoid any oversight, they opted to get a cybersecurity maturity assessment as well as a breach assessment / compromise assessment from AKATI Sekurity, trusting the firm’s experience in ensuring proper and accurate assessment of its security posture. AKATI Sekurity conducted several comprehensive and detailed assessments, ranging from hosts and servers, application security, database, and internal-external deep security testing. We have succeeded in discovering several serious vulnerabilities, and provided recommendations in mitigating the risks of having unattended vulnerabilities.AKATI Sekurity also hand-held the client in its Governance, Risks and Assessment journey, addressing security risks from the angles of people, process & technologies.
