Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Implementing cloud hosting services securely requires a strategic approach that incorporates various cybersecurity services to safeguard against potential threats. By integrating services such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Encryption and Data Protection, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Compliance and Governance, and Incident Response and Forensics, we offer a comprehensive plan to buyers for a secure cloud or software service implementation.; Deploying IAM, we ensure that only authenticated and authorized users gain access to your cloud environments, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Implementing strong encryption methods for data and managing encryption keys, protects sensitive information from interception or breaches.; Conducting regular VAPT helps identify and remediate vulnerabilities within the cloud infrastructure and software applications, ensuring that potential attack vectors are addressed before they can be exploited. Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and governance frameworks not only protects against legal and financial penalties but also builds trust with users by demonstrating a commitment to data security and privacy.; Finally, establishing a robust incident response capability prepares the organization to swiftly respond to and recover from security incidents, minimizing the impact on operations and reputation. This holistic approach ensures a secure foundation for implementing cloud hosting or software services.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: To support our security services, Cyber Alchemy offer comprehensive training across several domains:; IAM Training encompasses understanding the principles of least privilege, knowledge of authentication protocols, and the implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) solutions. It also involves training on managing digital identities and access controls in various environments.; Encryption and Data Protection Training requires a deep dive into cryptographic principles, encryption algorithms, key management practices, and data masking techniques. Training also covers legal and regulatory frameworks related to data privacy and protection.; VAPT Training involves ethical hacking techniques, learning to use tools for vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, and understanding how to assess and mitigate risks. This training covers network, application, and cloud environment security testing.; Compliance and Governance Training focuses on understanding the regulatory requirements specific to an industry, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. It includes learning how to design and implement security policies and procedures that ensure compliance.; Incident Response and Forensics Training develops the skills to manage and respond to security incidents, perform digital forensic analysis, and understand the legal implications of forensic activities. Training covers the development of incident response plans, handling evidence, and conducting post-incident analysis to prevent future breaches.
• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: Migrating to the cloud or transitioning between cloud services involves complex security considerations. ; ; By integrating services like Identity and Access Management (IAM), Encryption and Data Protection, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Compliance and Governance, and Incident Response and Forensics, we can ensure a secure and compliant migration process.; IAM systems play a crucial role by managing user identities and permissions, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to specific cloud resources. This is complemented by implementing robust encryption protocols for data, safeguarding sensitive information against unauthorized access during and after the migration.; Conducting VAPT before migration identifies potential vulnerabilities within the system, allowing for remediation and ensuring the new cloud environment's security integrity. This proactive approach to security helps in mitigating risks associated with the migration process.; Adhering to compliance and governance standards is critical during cloud migration. We assist in ensuring that the migration process complies with relevant regulations, minimizing legal and financial risks.; Should a security incident occur during migration, our Incident Response and Forensics team provides immediate support to contain the breach, mitigate damage, and analyze the incident to prevent future occurrences, ensuring a secure and efficient migration to the cloud or between cloud services.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Integrating cybersecurity measures such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Encryption and Data Protection, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Compliance and Governance, and Incident Response and Forensics, into quality assurance and performance testing processes is essential for ensuring the robustness and reliability of cloud systems.; IAM allows clients to create a controlled testing environment by ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the system under review. This not only secures the testing environment but also allows accurate simulations of real-world usage scenarios without compromising system security.; Encryption and Data Protection ensures that testing procedures do not expose sensitive data, allowing clients to assess the system's ability to protect data under various conditions.; VAPT proactively identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the system, simulating real-world attack scenarios to evaluate the system's performance under adverse conditions. This is crucial for uncovering potential weaknesses before they can be exploited, ensuring that the system can withstand malicious activities.; Compliance and Governance testing ensures that the system adheres to all relevant regulations and standards, an essential aspect of QA for systems operating in regulated industries. This helps in validating that the system meets legal and operational requirements, ensuring a smooth transition to operational status.
