Jakarta, 12th March 2024 – As the digital environment for businesses becomes increasingly complex, cybersecurity risks are also on the rise. 43 percent of respondents believe that significant cyber events are likely to occur within the next two years and have a significant impact on their business. As a result, companies and organizations need to take steps to protect their assets and improve their cybersecurity. Awareness, action and cyber resilience all have a common starting point: security posture assessment.
To help companies and organizations in Indonesia monitor and assess their cybersecurity posture, PT Helios Informatika Nusantara (Helios), a provider of infrastructure, cloud, and digital solutions and a subsidiary of CTI Group, and SecurityScorecard, a global leader in cybersecurity ratings, announce their strategic partnership to provide cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions.
SecurityScorecard’s cybersecurity rating technology refers to the methods or tools used to assess the level of security of an organisation or system. This can include assessing and monitoring various aspects of security, including IT infrastructure, security policies and common security practices.
“Managing and maintaining an organisation’s cyber security requires a multi-faceted approach. SecurityScorecard’s security rating technology, supported by Helios’ services, provides in-depth analysis of cyber threat intelligence, monitoring tools and comprehensive assessments to manage the risk of ransomware attacks and supply chain risks. This ensures accurate compliance reporting and supports more informed decision making,” said Royani Lo, CEO of Helios.
“SecurityScorecard research found that 98% of organizations use a third party that has been breached. Helios being a leading security solutions distributor in Indonesia, makes it an ideal distribution partner to help mitigate these risks, ” said David Ng, Head of Asia at SecurityScorecard. “Our partnership with Helios allows us to further grow our reach and intelligence in the APAC region and gives companies throughout Indonesia the technology to transform their security posture while maintaining compliance with government regulations.”
SecurityScorecard is trusted by 70 percent of Fortune 1000, 8 out of the top 10 largest insurance companies in the world, 9 out of the top 10 banking institutions, 14 Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and 93 technology and integration partners. Their industry-leading security ratings, automated assessments, and comprehensive third-party risk management will strengthen Helios’s security solutions portfolio, allowing companies across industries to transform how they understand, mitigate, and communicate cybersecurity risk to their boards, employees, and vendors.
Helios also recommends the following strategic steps to improve cybersecurity across the Indonesian industrial sector:
- Provide regular training for employees to increase cybersecurity awareness and help them identify and avoid potential threats.
- Establish clear and well-enforced security policies throughout the organisation to reduce the risk of security breaches.
- Ensure that systems and software are always updated with the latest security patches to address vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit.
- Implement regular data backup policies and disaster recovery plans to ensure business continuity following security incidents.
- Regularly monitor security systems to identify and address potential vulnerabilities within the IT infrastructure and consider cybersecurity at all levels of the supply chain, including third and fourth parties, to minimise risks to the business by integrating SecurityScorecard solutions.
SecurityScorecard solutions are supported by local services where Helios provides 24-hour support to users and technical intelligence consulting to ensure maximum cybersecurity assurance for customers.
