Our mission: Provide you with Stellar Cybersecurity Results

Imagine: you gain access to the minds and experience of the best computer security experts in the world. The ones employed by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google – but they work for YOU!

Now imagine the difference between working with them versus working with your local talent or the solution providers you have worked with until now.

A full-time CISO spends most of their day drinking coffee, going to meetings, filling out paperwork… only part of their day is productive in bringing tangible cybersecurity change to the organization.

We only use our time for productive work and don’t waste time on office politics. 

Our mission is to make our customers feel every interaction with us, like flying in a private jet. No hassle, just fast and mind-blowing results.

If your business needs a part time CISO, why waste time with headhunters and job hunting sites when you can hire one as a service?

Atlant Security's Part-Time CISO Service includes:

Password & Access Management

We will help you establish secure access management, prevent password reuse and eliminate easy-to-guess passwords. You will know who has access to what and why, at any time! We can also get you to passwordless authentication!

Attack Mitigation

We check for mitigation controls for 17 types of cyber attacks: account compromise, unauthorized access, ransomware, network intrusions, malware infections, sabotage, security policy violations, etc.

Security Awareness

Everyone in your company will receive appropriate security awareness training for their role. And people will remember what it was about! In the end, we will test the effectiveness of the training with phishing simulations.

Cloud Security

Microsoft 365 has 280+ security settings. Amazon Web Services and Azure have hundreds of security configuration options, too - we will take care of ALL of them!

Securing IT Infrastructure

We help our cybersecurity consulting for small business customers transform their IT infrastructure security by implementing Server & Network Device Hardening, Desktop Hardening, Network & Web Service security, Data Security, Backups, and much more.

Vulnerability management

How many vulnerable machines/apps can a company have in its network?
We help our customers establish and manage a Vulnerability management program which will gradually reduce the vulnerabilities in their network.

Email & Communications Security

Getting access to a corporate account may grant a hacker access to all internal systems. We protect our customers by implementing secure authentication, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your communications.

Penetration Testing

Breach simulation is an integral part of every Information Security Program. Our customers can rely on us to support them in the initiation, execution and conclusion of a Penetration Test.

Secure Software Development

Software development should be a rapid, efficient and secure process. We help our customers integrate security into the design, development, testing, integration and deployment of their code.

Security Policies and Procedures

Policies and Procedures are the governing laws even in a small company's business. The ones we create are living and breathing documents bringing order and structure to your security practices.

Secure Remote Access

Secure Work From Home is one aspect of remote access, but we also take care of third party partners and outsourced employees, vendors, and guests.

Zero Trust Networking

This is exactly why we expand your defenses beyond VPN and add Zero-Trust as your main principle of defense.

Advanced Endpoint Security

Antivirus is just one of 12 controls we implement at small businesses to defend endpoints from advanced hacking attacks. These security controls prevent the exploitation via malicious documents, scripts.

Security Monitoring

You will be able to detect if any of your devices or applications were compromised in the past 24 hours.

Plus much More

Every Information Security Program we build for our clients is different. Your teams, infrastructure, applications and business objectives are different, and we often expand our services to serve your better.

Why work with us?

Our team has been a part of the best cybersecurity consulting departments on this planet. Before founding Atlant Security, our founder, Alexander, was part of Microsoft’s security consulting team.

Cyber security experts from all over the world compete to get into Microsoft – and only the best get the opportunity to work there. The price for customers to work with Microsoft’s small business cyber security consulting team is then set extremely high – so we decided to change that.

You have the opportunity to work with the best at a very affordable price.

We achieve that by using the expertise of one stellar expert to serve several customers rather than utilizing them as a full-time employees at just one company.

By using the economies of scale principle, we give our customers the best without sacrificing anything.

Does your company need a part time CISO?

“Our IT team takes care of cybersecurity.”

If we could have a dollar every time we heard that 🙂

Just look at this graph. Every one of these companies had an IT team and every one of them firmly believed in their IT team’s ability to protect the company.

There is one problem with this belief: it is not based on facts. IT teams have very little experience in cybersecurity attack & defense methodologies. Their job is to build infrastructure and keep it running, much like every country has a construction industry.

But the construction industry can’t act as the military or the police – and if they did, the security of the country would suffer.

We believe this is what happens usually before a company gets hacked – their IT department is given the responsibility of defense. It inevitably leads to a security breach. In 100% of the cases.

Password & Access Management for Small Businesses

When small business employees create passwords, they usually reuse one of their existing passwords or patterns.

This is extremely risky!

All a hacker needs to do to hack your emails in that case would be to find that particular employee’s password on any of the websites they’ve used. If that site was hacked in the past, all passwords of all its users become public and known to the hackers.

In that case, if they use the same password for their corporate email account, your company’s security will be compromised!

Through our SMB cyber security consulting services we help our customers establish a secure password & access management practice.

Attack mitigation security consulting for SMBs

Small & medium business experience 17 types of cybersecurity attacks on a regular basis.

IT departments are normally aware of 3 or at most 4 of them – phishing (stealing credentials through fake login forms and pages), malware, password guessing (bruteforce) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service).

And even when they are aware of them, they usually don’t know how to mitigate them properly.

This is why we see so many small businesses getting hacked!

Our SMB cybersecurity consulting services are designed to help you mitigate all 17 types of cyberattacks.

For small or medium-sized businesses, this is an ideal solution to establish strong cybersecurity measures while maintaining a lean budget.

This makes it more cost-effective, especially for small and medium-sized businesses that may not need a dedicated full-time security officer.

They will provide leadership, set the security strategy, and ensure your IT department has clear direction on implementing technical safeguards.

Engaging a part-time CISO can happen very quickly. Once your business’s needs are assessed, a CISO can be onboarded to help immediately address any urgent security concerns, develop a long-term strategy, and support your team. The flexibility of this service means you can ramp up or down the CISO’s involvement based on the evolving needs of your company.

Part-time CISOs are experienced security professionals who have led large security teams and handled complex cybersecurity challenges across various industries.
