Reduce Cyberattacks In 2021 With Zyston's New CyberCAST Security Assessment

DALLAS - Jan. 28, 2021 - PRLog -- Zyston (https://zyston.com/), a managed security service (MSSP & MDR) provider, issues a recommendation for national midsize and enterprise companies to review their susceptibility to a cyberattack in 2021 with Zyston's new CyberCAST Security Assessment (https://www.zyston.com/zyston-launches-cybercast-cybersecurity-assessment-tool/). As cybersecurity breaches become more common as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ubiquity of cloud-based remote work, Zyston is a trusted resource to reduce the threat of debilitating cyberattacks. Instead of fearfully waiting until a cyberattack has affected an industry ally, a vendor in the supply chain—or even one's own company—businesses can work to proactively analyze their company's cybersecurity risk through an independent assessment, and Zyston's CyberCAST is the premier option.

Now more than ever, organizations of all sizes need to develop a full understanding of how vulnerable they are to a cyberattack, and our CyberCAST Security Assessment is the ideal tool to accomplish that," said Craig Stamm, CEO of Zyston. "Our industry-leading approach combines a comprehensive evaluation of the security program with a trackable maturity score and an actionable roadmap and allows organizations to focus on 'true' business risk in the areas of people, process, and technology."

Cybersecurity breaches are paramount as hackers become more sophisticated each year. In 2020, the FBI reported (https://www.zyston.com/us-treasury-issues-warning-on-rans...) a 400% increase in the number of daily cyberattack complaints since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This also resulted in the publication of an advisory from the US Treasury Department (https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/ofac_ransomwar...)'s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) warning of sanctions for US businesses who pay randoms to their cyber attackers. Furthermore, the FBI predicted the largest cyberattack in history to occur in the next six months which can potentially impact nearly one-half of all US businesses.

Launched in late-2020, Zyston's new CyberCAST solution combines a technical penetration test with an industry-leading security assessment. The tool provides a quantitative security risk score, industry comparative benchmarks, and both a strategic and tactical roadmap to improve that score. The penetration test component focuses on evaluating findings based on business risk and categorizing vulnerabilities based on systemic or process-related issues. CyberCAST also presents all security findings in layman's terms that are easy to comprehend and communicate to one's executive leadership team. With other security assessment tools, findings can be extremely technical or lack the appropriate business context.
