Cybersecurity Governance Strengthening

Context

In a context of strengthening its cybersecurity posture and increasing risks linked to digital threats, an international player in the infrastructure and energy sector launched several initiatives aimed at improving security governance and vulnerability management across its critical IT environments.

To support this initiative, Avaliance worked in support of the CISO, with a cross-functional role covering vulnerability tracking, coordination of security audits, incident management and the management of cybersecurity performance indicators.

Key challenges

The client needed to improve its ability to detect and remediate cyber threats while strengthening the integration of security into its IT projects.
