CYBERSHIELD XDR 360° for Private Equity

Client

The cyber security demands of a Private Equity firm are extremely high as they are being targeted by sophisticated criminals intent on obtaining money via ransomware, fund transfers, and insider information.

Board members, partners, executives and analysts are targeted by sophisticated campaigns using social engineering techniques such as email, text messages, social networking, whatsapp, voice and post for credentials to enable criminals access to your physical and cloud systems.

Finance and Operations users are targeted for fraudulent fund transfers, whilst personal / executive assistants are exploited with purchases and payment requests, even interns are targeted with high street voucher scams. Portfolio companies and investments are targeted by criminals impersonating the Private Equity firm or vice versa for fund transfers / diversion of funds.

Fund raising is seeing investors becoming ever more tech savvy, carrying out more cyber due diligence on funds, demanding cyber security review reports, penetration testing results and more governance and compliance with ISO27001 certification. At every level of a Private Equity firm, cyber criminals have a target and it’s imperative to protect & detect any threats on a 24/7 basis.
