FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ: FAQ

THERE ARE MANY CYBERSECURITY SERVICE PROVIDERS THESE DAYS, WHAT MAKES SECURIA SO SPECIAL AND WHY SHOULD I GO WITH YOU?

Securia was born to solve a problem that our founder encountered. 2015 was a time where a small number of companies monopolised the Sydney Cybersecurity market, keeping prices extremely high for Penetration Testing. Often reching the $10,000 mark such costs were simply out of reach for most businesses. Vulnerability Assessments are less expensive than Penetration Tests, and very effective at helping reduce attack-surface. Confident in our abilities to provide quality services that were on-par with competitors, Securia designed and launched a service offering for SMBs with focus on Vulnerability Assessments. SMBs now have access to critical security services that are desperately needed in today's threat landscape.

I HEARD THE WEAKEST LINK IN ANY SYSTEM IS THE HUMAN COMPONENT. HOW CAN WE DEFEND OURSELVES FROM SCAMMERS?

That's correct, and today the most common entry point is still via a human target with the use of Social Engineering tactics - most commonly phishing emails. We are known amongst our clients as having a high degree of expertise when it comes to Social Engineering, and have an extremely high success rate in coercing humans to take actions that are not in their best interest. In some cases we even gain access to someone's account by impersonating them and requesting a new password. Our Social Engineering Assessment Service helps identify staff who are susceptile to Social Engineering, allowing us to provide them with Awareness Training to de-risk their email and telephone operations.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH ANY SECURITY TESTING, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT I CAN EXPECT FROM THE ENGAGEMENT?

First we will undertake a scoping session to understand your requirements and agree on the assets that should be tested. You are then supplied with a Rules of Engagement document covering the terms, deliverables, and specifics. Once signed, testing begins. Upon it's conclusion, a report is supplied to you containing test results and mitigation recomendations.

I'M A FINANCIAL CONTROLLER AND SEE THE BENEFIT OF YOUR SERVICES BUT I AM TECHNICALLY ILLITERATE AND UNSURE I CAN MAKE ANY SENSE OF THE REPORT.

We've got you covered! Our Reports are designed to cater for two types of audiences; executive and technical. The executive summary will give you the information you need in relation to number of findings, and their severity, with recommendations on what to focus on first. The technical summary will have much more technical detail about the testing conducted and issues detected.

I'M A SMALL BUSINESS AND COULD NEVER AFFORD THESE SERVICES......
I KNOW THESE TESTS CAN COST UP TO $10,000!

Securia was established for this very reason; smaller businesses like yours are simply not seen as lucrative enough by the bigger security vendors. Our pricing is geared to be accessible to SMB's, and supplement that with payment plan options.

ARE YOUR SERVICES SET, OR ARE YOU OPEN TO TAILORING A PROGRAM FOR MY UNIQUE NEEDS?

You'll be happy to hear that our standard approach is to first have a discussion about your organisation and how you consume technology. A solution will then be proposed based on that insight, and other considerations such as budget limitations.
