Application security

Application security is at the center of new threats and intrusions. Being prone to vulnerabilities because of a lack of controls or regulations, business applications become a prime target for cyberattacks because they give direct access to an organization’s data.

For several years, BCI has acquired a solid experience in application security controls. Our experts ensure cohesion with application firewalls, directories and metadirectories, solutions for governance, risk and compliance, identification and access management, strong authentication, roles modelling, encryption, etc.

Following the identification of your organization’s application security situation, BCI performs a code review and delivers a tailored improvement plan.

Identity and access management

Today’s communication systems are essential for all businesses; however, access must be carefully controlled. Identity and access management is one of the most complex and difficult security elements to manage. Your company must follow strict rules while maintaining control over the validation of all established processes.

With the Identity and access management (IAM) service, BCI ensures that you comply with all the rules you are facing and helps you improve your productivity and centralize credentials through automated authorization and removal processes for users, including employees, customers and partners.

Based on a proven methodology, our identity management specialists rely on role modelling methods, taking into account factors such as dynamic hierarchies and assignment of roles to employees, as well as systems to which they have access, to provide an enhanced user and administrator experience.

Security log reporting and incident response

Security log reporting is the act of recording, in a log (database), all events that occur across different computing platforms, systems or applications while they are running.

Logs play a role in all stages of incident response. They are reviewed under two very different circumstances during the incident response process:

Routine periodic log review – this is how an incident may be discovered;
Post-incident review – this may happen when initial suspicious activity signs are available, or during a full-blown incident investigation.

The implementation of a strategy for Security log reporting and incidents response by BCI experts ensures the presence of adequate controls to detect, verify and validate access to systems and the compliance with standards and security procedures for your organization. All security events are important and appropriate actions should be taken promptly.

Our experts will accompany your security team in the development of appropriate and documented procedures for all types of potential incidents that may have an impact on the security of your business’ information assets. This way, intervention procedures and exception procedures will be available to your security team if your data integrity were to be threatened.

Complementary services

In addition to identity and access management services, BCI offers many additional and complementary services such as a review of security control measures, where we perform a detailed assessment focusing on IT security and compliance policies.

This review may indicate the need for an identity and access management program, a threats and risks assessment, and assessment of factors related to privacy or a strategic plan for managing identity and access.
