EDUCATION CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Help Your Customers Pinpoint and Address Security Vulnerabilities

Cyberstone is a channel-only cybersecurity company. Our sole focus is to help MSPs offer cybersecurity professional services to their cherished customers.

Being secure means more than just managing firewalls and endpoint protection software. To be secure, organizations need to build a cybersecurity program based on risk, review and update written policies, and regularly test their technical controls.

Protect Your Institution And The Students You Serve

Steven Miller, director of Cybersecurity for the non-profit watchdog organization Digital District says “On a scale of zero to 10, with 10 being districts that have done a good job of protecting their networks and databases, I’d say the general score nationwide is close to zero, maybe 1 to be generous.”

Miller also adds “I’m not just talking about small districts, but most medium-sized ones too. School districts tend not to have specialized staff for information technology until they get very large or very wealthy. A middle-sized district might have a person or two. A small district might have a principal or other administrator handle IT just another part of their job.”

Cyberstone understands what schools are up against technology- and security-wise and that it is sometimes better for districts to reach out to an objective third-party, especially when cataloging cybersecurity risk and developing an actionable game plan for remediation.

Cyberstone offers comprehensive cybersecurity services for educational institutions of any size. Learn more about our services and how we can help below, and please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss your school’s needs in more detail.

The Top 5 Cybersecurity Issues We've Found In Schools Are Listed Below

Least privilege, a central concept for effective security,

is not usually implemented well. This concept means people are only given access to what they need to do to perform their job. Students don’t need access to admin networks. VLANing internal resources is critical. Also, the district’s “back office” should be segregated from each individual school.

Patch management is lacking.

Schools often have Windows patches in place but often fail to consider third-party applications such as Adobe Reader and Google Chrome. Most cyber threats enter school districts through phishing emails or emails with malicious web links. Once inside, most modern malware then “looks for” old versions of software or software missing patches. It is there that criminals start their journey toward privilege escalation and ultimately capturing student and staff information.

The attack surface is unnecessarily large.

allow almost anything to go to the Internet. If a system doesn’t absolutely need to be online, don’t connect it to the Internet. This includes printers, cameras, TVs, and any other internet-of-things (IoT) devices. It may also mean denying student devices (smartphones and laptops) access to the internet, depending on your district’s unique rules.

Employees are adding to the risk of a cyber breach.

Employees who click emails without thinking twice are often the single most significant contributor to schools getting breached. All employees who touch technology should be regularly trained in topics such as password hygiene, safe browsing, and physical security.

There isn't a plan.

Technology is in place. Firewalls and antivirus software are installed and up-to-date. But there just isn’t a plan. Every school system needs to have a cybersecurity incident response plan in place so they can effectively discover and recover from a breach. Having a plan also means the district won’t lose reputation points with the public and will be able to get back online quicker.

Invest In Cybersecurity To Protect Your Students

School looks much different now than it did even just one decade ago. Tablets and laptops are now integrated into classrooms, and distance learning is more common than it’s ever been before. In fact, many students are now able to complete entire semesters without touching a single sheet of paper. Given the changing technological landscape we’re seeing in the education sector, it’s more important now than ever before to make sure that your students’ information is safe. In addition to the exposure of sensitive information and reputational damage you could face, you could find your institution liable for fines and other penalties.

Whether your staff can no longer keep up with the demands of a changing landscape or you would simply like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your school’s information is safe and secure, you can count on Cyberstone to provide you with top-to-bottom security that meets your needs and fits within your institution’s budget.

If you come to us, we’ll help you identify weaknesses and blind spots in your current security measures before developing actionable strategies that provide you with top-of-the-line protection and, ultimately, peace of mind.

FINANCE

Financial Services Organizations Trust Cyberstone To Help Them Address Cybersecurity Risk And Adhere To Compliance Needs.

Investors And Financial Advisors

According to Compliance Programs of Investment Companies and Investment Advisers, the SEC “expects that an adviser’s policies and procedures, at a minimum, should address the following issues to the extent that they are relevant to that adviser:

  • Safeguarding of client assets from conversion or inappropriate use by advisory personnel;
  • The accurate creation of required records and their maintenance in a manner that secures them from unauthorized alteration or use and protects them from untimely destruction;
  • Safeguards for the privacy protection of client records and information; and
  • Business continuity plans.

Additionally, new rule 38a-1 (for funds) and amendments to rule 204-2 (for advisers) require firms to maintain copies of all policies and procedures that are in effect or were in effect at any time during the last five years.

In late 2017, the SEC issued a report on the state of cybersecurity for a subset of SEC-regulated organizations, and released this findings document which firmly suggests that investment advisors do what Cyberstone offers, namely security and gap analyses, penetration testing, and written cybersecurity policies.

Banks And Credit Unions

Cyberstone’s cybersecurity team has a rich history helping banks and credit unions. One of the primary drivers for cybersecurity services in these institutions is the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (aka PCI-DSS). According to the PCI-DSS v3.2 Quick Reference Guide, “occasionally lax security by some merchants enables criminals to easily steal and use personal consumer financial information from payment card transactions and processing systems.”

We realize that PCI DSS compliance is a continuous process involving assessment, adjustment, and reporting on an ongoing basis. Cyberstone can help banks and credit unions with any of the 12 PCI requirements.

HEALTHCARE CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Ensure That Your Organization Is Compliant Today, Tomorrow, And Indefinitely

HIPAA is a huge regulation, but it doesn’t have to be scary. The HIPAA Security Rule is only nine pages long and it is written in plain English. The goal of HIPAA is to reduce risk to protected health information (PHI), but many organizations don’t know where to begin when it comes to compliance. At Cyberstone, we make it easy and affordable to keep your data safe and secure, no matter the size of your healthcare organization. We do this by establishing a risk baseline, developing a game plan for remediation or improvement, and following through on our action items in order to reduce security gaps and ensure that your data is protected. Contact the Cyberstone team to learn more about investing in healthcare cybersecurity.

Common Cybersecurity Challenges For Healthcare Providers:

  • Malware and ransomware
  • Cloud security weaknesses
  • Lookalike websites designed to capture sensitive information
  • Email phishing schemes
  • Ineffective or outdated encryption
  • Inadequate employee training

The Cyberstone team can help you address all of these challenges, and more.

HIPAA Protection Requirements

The Security Rule states that covered entities and business associates must “conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information.” Cyberstone can help healthcare organizations meet this requirement by performing both risk and vulnerability assessments.

The Security Rule also requires rock-solid written information security policies (also called plans). Some of the required policies are (1) sanction plan, (2) incident response plan, (3) data backup plan, and (4) data backup plan. Organizations not only have to have these policies in place, but they should also be updated every time there’s a significant change to the organization chart or the technology within the environment. For example, if there is a restructuring of departments, a merger, an acquisition, a move to the cloud, or the implementation of a new ERP system, policies should be updated to reflect the new environment.

HIPAA Training Requirements

HIPAA-regulated organizations are also required to train all staff, including management, on security best practices. Cyberstone proudly offers a completely online training platform that addresses this HIPAA need while also taking it a step further. We ensure employees are trained, but we also test them with periodic email phishing to see how effective the training is and if there are opportunities for retraining specific employees. If we find opportunities to help your employees improve their security hygiene, we’ll provide you with actionable, easy-to-understand solutions.Even if a company is already HIPAA compliant, cybersecurity needs are recurring in nature. Compliance today doesn’t mean compliance tomorrow or next year. It’s an ongoing process and Cyberstone is here to guide organizations through changes at the local and federal levels. We understand that your organization has needs other than healthcare cybersecurity — let us handle your security needs so that you can focus on helping your clients.

INSURANCE CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Proudly Offering Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity Services for Insurance Companies

Is Your Insurance Company Protected?

In a recent study commissioned by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYS DFS), only 14% of CEOs receive monthly briefings on information security. Another NYS DFS finding is that only 44% of insurers report conducting annual penetration testing, a critical component necessary to identifying weaknesses and exposures. Lastly, 42% of insurers report that they experienced cybersecurity breaches in the last three years. Simply put, insurance companies, in general, have massive gaps to fill before they can say their security posture is effective. If you’re wondering where your company stands, or if you would like to take the first steps toward a safer, more secure future, contact Cyberstone today.

Cyberstone Offers:

  • Internal and external penetration testing
  • Web app penetration testing

Invest In Cybersecurity Measures That Safeguard The Future

Our mission is to help insurance companies close both compliance and security gaps. It starts with creating a risk baseline. From there, we make recommendations based on a company’s unique risks and potential gaps with respect to security best practices. Finally, we can help with the ongoing need to test the effectiveness of technical controls through annual penetration testing.

Cyberstone has performed hundreds of cybersecurity projects for insurance companies. Being located in New York State, we have become intimately familiar with 23 NYCRR 500. This is a groundbreaking new cybersecurity regulation applicable to insurance agents, brokers, and underwriters. This cutting-edge regulation is soon going to find its way into other states and when it does, we’ll be prepared.

Why Choose Cyberstone?

At Cyberstone, our mission is to become the top cybersecurity company and channel partner in the world. We’ve set our goals high because we know that we can meet and exceed them, and it all comes down to our innovative approach. Instead of limiting ourselves to one location or vertical, we’ve partnered with nationwide channel partners to provide top-of-the-line security services to companies in every sector.

When it comes to the insurance industry, getting hacked means more than losing a few sensitive emails or valuable company information — it often means fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage from which your company may not recover. We know that the risks are high, and that’s why we take the time to keep our team trained and up-to-date on the latest laws, regulations, and developments in the cybersecurity industry.

Unlike many other cybersecurity companies, we’re able to offer extremely competitive pricing by cutting out the need for a direct sales force. Between our affordable rates, experienced team, and full-spectrum services, we think working with Cyberstone is an easy choice.

ACCORDING TO SHAHRYAR SHAGHAGHI, HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL BDO CYBERSECURITY:

“All it takes is one weak link in the security chain for hackers to access and corrupt a product feature, an entire supply chain or a critical piece of infrastructure. The stakes are too high in the manufacturing industry for complacency or inattention. Security can no longer be considered an add-on to products and processes.”

RISKS FACING MANUFACTURERS

Cybersecurity isn’t just something we want to push on manufacturers. It’s something manufacturers are inherently concerned about themselves. Look at the table below for more insight.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR MANUFACTURERS

In 2017, adherence to federal/state/local regulations is the second-highest risk factor out of the top 20 cited by manufacturers. This includes cybersecurity regulations such as DFARS which is a federally-mandated regulation affecting manufacturers who engage in military contract work.

MAKE SURE YOU STAY COMPLIANT

​The 7th highest concern out of the top 20 risk factors is the threat of a cybersecurity breach. So, not only is cybersecurity something manufacturers are concerned about, but it’s being required by federal law in many cases. For a more in-depth analysis on these two risk factors, check out BDO’s full report here.​

Top 20 Risk Factors Facing Manufacturers

1. Supplier, Vendor Or Distributor Disruption
2. Federal, State And Local Regulations
3. Labor Costs, Retention, And Outsourcing
4. General Economic Conditions, Including Disruptions In The Financial Markets
5. Competition And Pricing Pressure
6. Environmental Regulations And Liability
7. Cybersecurity Breaches
8. Threats To International Operations
9. Failure To Execute Growth Or Efficiency Strategy
10. Foreign Currency Exposure

Manufacturing

Unique Cybersecurity Challenges Facing Manufacturers

Manufacturers have their own unique challenges in terms of cybersecurity. They have SCADA systems, CNC machines plugged into the internal network, and control systems that run machinery and are also on the network. Other industries are mainly concerned with protecting workstations, servers, and network equipment. In manufacturing, there is a whole plethora of other devices that now need to be in-scope for security assessments.

​Then there’s the threat to intellectual property. The FBI estimates that $400 billion worth of IP leaves the U.S. each year.

Even if a manufacturer doesn’t store medical data (HIPAA), or credit card data (PCI), the cost of downtime alone should be a reason to take a hard look at cybersecurity, particularly having a current, tested incident response plan in place.

MILITARY CONTRACTOR CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

YOUR CYBERSECURITY PRO-SERVICES CHANNEL COMPANY

MILITARY/DEFENSE CONTRACTORS

All defense contractors and sub-contractors who process controlled defense information (CDI) are required to meet the DFARS Part 252.204-7012 is also known as Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting. Cyberstone has developed a program custom-designed for helping manufacturers and machines shops meet DFARS compliance. The DFARS cybersecurity regulation really is just a pointer to the NIST SP800-171 cybersecurity framework which has fourteen functional areas as displayed below.

The 14 NIST SP800-171 Requirements

  • Access Control – Least privilege, separation of duties, limit unsuccessful login attempts, screen lock after a certain time, encrypt CUI on mobile devices, wireless must have password
  • Awareness & Training – Security awareness training, training on malicious insider threats (online or in-person)
  • Audit & Accountability – Each user’s actions must be able to be uniquely traced, synchronization of IT systems’ clocks, correlation of logs from different systems
  • Configuration Management – Server and workstation images that are hardened, application white/blacklisting
  • Identification & Authentication – Multifactor authentication, unique user accounts (not shared), minimum password complexity
  • Incident Response – Written framework unique to each organization’s requirements. Must be regularly tested.
  • Maintenance – Sanitize systems of CUI when it’s not needed anymore, check media with diagnostic/test programs for malicious code before used in an information system.
  • Media Protection – Mark media with CUI as having CUI, lock drawers of paper with CUI, encrypt media, prohibit portable devices that don’t have an identifiable owner
  • Physical Protection – Escort visitors, log physical building / room access, ensure teleworker sites (work from home) are secure
  • Personnel Security – Background checks, pre-employment screening
  • Risk Assessment – Vulnerability scanning, periodic risk assessments
  • Security Assessment – Periodically assess technical controls, monitor and assess the effectiveness of security controls (Penetration Testing)
  • System and Communication Protection – Explicit deny-all, encryption at rest and in motion, effective subnetting
  • System & Information Integrity – Protect from malicious code (AV/anti-malware), SIEM / IPS to detect unauthorized use of systems
Step 1: Gap Assessment

What does the regulation say I need to be doing vs. what I’m doing today?

Step 2: Create An Incident Response Plan
  • Preparation
  • Discovery
  • Notification
  • Analysis
  • Containment
  • Restoration
Step 3: Implement Changes Based On Gap Analysis
  • Written information security polices
  • Implementation of hardware and software
  • Network segmentation
  • Encryption

MUNICIPALITY CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Let the Cyberstone Team Help You Keep Sensitive Information Safe

Protect Your Organization From Top To Bottom

Municipalities face a number of unique challenges. They have many different departments and often many different hardware and software platforms with differing cybersecurity capabilities. In fact, standardization of technology, security policies, and procedures within an organization are often never achieved, meaning that one — or many — facets of your organization could be compromised. Cyber attacks to emergency services, police, government, and public utilities can result in public safety concerns, public outcry, and recovery costs totaling millions of dollars.

The stakes are high, and you can’t afford to settle for the average cybersecurity company. Read more about the cybersecurity services offered at Cyberstone below and contact our team to learn more about how we can help you protect your municipality.

Is Your Municipality In Compliance?

Municipalities face a variety of stringent and constantly changing compliance requirements. Various departments within a municipality may accept credit cards, leading to PCI-DSS compliance concerns. Police departments must follow CJIS rules. All departments must have a level of cybersecurity governance in place tuned to the unique risk factors facing their department and the municipality as a whole.

As a leading cybersecurity service provider, we can tell you with confidence that meeting and keeping up with the latest laws and regulations is difficult in a single sector, let alone a multifaceted municipality. When you consider the number of entities and security differences discussed above, becoming fully compliant — or even developing consistent practices across your organization — can feel like a monumental task. We can also tell you with confidence that the three-pronged approach to security and compliance outlined below has helped various municipalities across the country achieve consistency, compliance, and peace of mind.

Cyberstone’s Approach to Municipality Security And Compliance Is As Follows:

Assess: To know where you’re going, you must know where you currently stand. To do security right, you need a baseline from which to work. Only then can you focus your efforts on reducing your unique risk.

Policy: With a baseline established, and using your mission and vision statements as inputs, you are now ready to write cybersecurity policies that will guide employee behavior and to control risks associated with cyber incidents.

Technical Controls: Now that you know where you stand and have a written plan for going from an area of high-risk to an area of lower-risk, it’s time to implement technical controls. Spending money on things like firewalls, content filtering, and data loss prevention should only occur after you have spent time on the previous two items.

RETAIL

IS YOUR RETAIL BUSINESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH RECENT LAWS AND REGULATIONS?

No matter what kind of retail business you run, you’re committed to providing your customers with exceptional service and value every time they shop with you. With many retailers providing their services online and through outdated technology, cybersecurity threats are a real and imminent threat to your ongoing success. All it takes is one publicized security breach to erode trust and drive customers to your competitors — is your organization’s security protocol where it needs to be?

At Cyberstone, we help retailers comply with PCI DSS through penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and cybersecurity maturity assessments specifically tailored to PCI requirements. We can help you shine a light on areas of risk or non-compliance, so you can make the necessary adjustments. This will help you maintain compliance and reduce the likelihood of being hacked or suffering a data breach.

If you don’t know where to start or are in over your head with other IT projects, we can help. Even if you have an established cybersecurity vendor, we still may be able to help. It’s best practice to rotate security vendors every 2-3 years to ensure objectivity. Perhaps it’s time to make the switch.

PCI DSS Regulation

Cyberstone helps retailers make sense of the PCI DSS regulation and its 12 requirements which are listed below.

  1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.
  2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
  3. Protect stored cardholder data.
  4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.
  5. Use and regularly update antivirus software.
  6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
  7. Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know.
  8. Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access.
  9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
  10. Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.
  11. Regularly test security systems and processes.
  12. Maintain a policy that addresses information security.

Technology is always changing and, with it, so too do laws and regulations. We invest heavily in our team’s training in order to provide you with expert guidance and support whenever there’s a new development or regulation that changes current compliance standards.
