We support some of the most critical organisations – primarily in the United Kingdom.
The use of our service extends throughout the military, law enforcement, and both the public and private sectors, including SME’s.
Specialising in the cyber, radio-frequency, and electromagnetic environments – we provide real-time analysis and exposure of the invisible battlespace. We achieve this through developing secure platforms and methodologies that connect advanced hardware to secure cloud-based software systems.
About the CDS
We are an alumni of the 2021 NCSC Cyber Accelerator
CDS engineers and operators are highly experienced and qualified security professionals, ensuring they have the latest skills, knowledge and capabilities to keep your business safe against both common and unknown threats.
As organisations and individuals – we are all at risk from an increasing range of new and evolving cyber security threats.
Reconnaissance
Adversaries utilise a range of techniques to gather information that can be used to acquire targets and inform optimal attack vectors.
Resource Development
Adversaries compile resources such as email accounts, domains and other infrastructures or capabilities that improve targeting and can be leveraged to provide the attacker with significant power and access.
Initial Access
These techniques use various entry vectors to gain an initial foothold within a network.
Execution
Vulnerabilities allow malicious actors to remotely execute arbitrary commands within a machine or network.
Persistence
Persistent threats are attacks in which an unauthorized user gains system access and maintains access by staying undetected.
Privilege Escalation
Malicious actors increase their access to the network and its assets and resources by exploiting design flaws, bugs, or configuration faults in an application or operating system.
Credential Access
Attackers deny their victims access by changing their passwords. Important information is then stolen, deleted, or used to access other networks.
Lateral Movement
Once gaining access, attackers leverage their position to move deeper into a network for sensitive data and valuable assets.
Defence Evasion
Attackers utilise techniques to avoid detection such as encryption of data and deactivating security software.
Data Collection
Typically, malware is used to scan a computer or network to exfiltrate sensitive information.
Social Engineering
The victim is psychologically manipulated into granting the attacker access to sensitive information and assets. Phishing and homograph attacks are common examples of this.
Exfiltration
Individual or company data that is copied, transferred, or retrieved without authorization.
