Barrier Networks, a specialist in managed security services for enterprises and critical national infrastructure organisations, today announced the launch of its Risk Operations Centre (the ROC), an innovative platform that streamlines how organisations manage, prioritise and communicate their cyber risk.
In today’s dynamic cyber threat landscape, resilience is paramount, but traditional risk assessments are no longer sufficient. Many organisations are forced to evaluate the state of their critical data and systems without interactive tools to support informed decision-making. This often leads to a misallocation of budgets, resources and defences.
The ROC revolutionises this, offering organisations a fully online and user-friendly platform to help identify, categorise, visualise and strategise their approach to cyber risks.
The data is completely aligned to the customer and based on extensive interviews and environment analysis from Barrier, which provides context-rich clarity to help organisations understand their cyber risk, prioritise improvements and meet their strategic objectives.
The ROC is Barrier’s first piece of proprietary software, and it has been built on the organisation’s extensive experience in conducting cyber risk technical assessments. It provides organisations with critical insights to track vulnerabilities in their environment and enhance their security postures.
Organisations can use the platform to assess their compliance against globally recognised cyber security standards and frameworks. The platform then categorises risks according to their criticality and provides actionable recommendations and a roadmap to help improve their security. The intuitive platform is tailored to the specific needs of the organisation, ensuring the assessment and subsequent recommendations mirror their exact requirements.
Key Features of the ROC:
- Comprehensive Cyber Risk Insights: The platform provides clear, actionable recommendations, enabling organisations to understand and manage their IT and OT environments effectively.
- Interactive Visualisations: A user-friendly interface makes it easy to view findings, prioritise risks and create a map for remediation plans.
- Modular and Customisable Assessments: Organisations can tailor the platform to their specific needs, ensuring a flexible and scalable solution.
- Secure, Private Deployment: Hosted within an organisation’s own environment, the ROC ensures that sensitive data remains fully under the organisation’s control.
“As organisations’ digital environments continually expand, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to accurately measure cyber risk. Organisations often struggle to achieve a unified view of risk across all their assets, leading to gaps that can prove detrimental to their cyber resilience. The ROC has been designed to tackle these challenges and it is the only cyber risk platform available today that provides organisations with tailor-fit cyber risk measurements and recommendations. This measurement is based entirely on the individual organisation, helping them understand their risk both technically and against what they deem most important as a business. Organisations can then benefit from the meaningful recommendations provided by the ROC to allocate budgets effectively and reduce their overall cyber risk,” said Ian McGowan, managing director, Barrier Networks.
Unlike traditional assessments, the ROC’s intuitive design and automated mapping to cyber security standards deliver a seamless and efficient experience. Organisations gain a clear roadmap for remediation with just a few clicks, empowering them to take proactive steps towards securing their environments and improving their overall cyber resilience, today and in the future.
