V2 Specialization Types: Cyber Risk

Identifying and addressing cyberthreats takes a strategic lens. Deloitte helps organizations secure their success by applying a “detect and respond” lens to proactively hunt threats and tackle tough cyber challenges. With tools and technologies like AI, advanced detection solutions, predictive analytics and automated preemptive action, we help clients identify potentially malicious threats or unauthorized activity in their systems, including network probes, distributed denial of service attacks and advanced persistent threat attacks. We also help our clients thoroughly investigate incidents to help them not only respond to, but also understand why they happened, learn from them and grow more resilient.

Our internal cyber services professionals lead a strategic cyber program that adapts to a rapidly changing threat landscape. By building a security culture across the organization, we help to protect the Deloitte brand. Through our cyber management practices, including situational awareness and threat intelligence, we assess and analyze the risks of the business-enabling technologies we use in-house. Then we identify and implement forward-thinking controls and solutions that help propel our progress, often in collaboration with leading security and technology companies in our vendor ecosystem.

In today’s digital world, managing and protecting customer, business and other personally identifiable information is increasingly complex and risky. Strengthening identity and access management processes and systems has become an organizational must for commercial and government organizations alike. Deloitte’s identity and access management professionals help our clients develop strategies and governance to support the changing needs of their digital operations. We do this by leveraging leading technologies including biometric behavioral analytics, AI-supported authentication, and zero trust architecture. We offer field-tested accelerators and tools, including our own digital identity platform, that are scalable and adaptive to each client’s specific organizational data and user needs.

Enterprise security is crucial as organizations embark on digital transformation to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. Deloitte’s enterprise security professionals help our clients enable secure digital transformations by embedding security throughout the organization’s technical backbone. We do that through an approach that spans security architecture, secure development and deployment, end-to-end cyber cloud capabilities, and security for emerging technologies and connected products. Our work ranges from cloud security orchestration and automation to secure software enablement and more, helping our clients modernize operations while improving resilience and security.

Business risk is more complex than ever, due to shifting geopolitical landscapes, the prevalence of technologies, emerging technologies, natural disasters and other sudden events. Deloitte’s crisis and resilience professionals assist our clients in good times and in crisis. We help them anticipate and defend against incidents that could jeopardize their competitive positions, critical assets, reputations or financial standing. And we also help them respond and recover when unforeseen disruptive events occur. Through the use of AI, tabletop exercise simulations, penetration testing and other vulnerability assessments, we help clients identify specific risks or single points of failure that could cause an extended business disruption or crisis. By educating our clients on resilience disciplines, we help them rehearse their responses and develop “muscle memory” for real-world situations. Further, we design operating models and implement technologies that can help each client’s business return as quickly as possible to a resilient state following a disruption.

Cyber controls and protocols help defend organizations’ assets while balancing their needs for productivity and business growth. Deloitte’s application security professionals have that in mind as we integrate cybersecurity controls and compliance activities to help clients protect enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and other core business applications. We work with our clients to help them transform their legacy programs into proactive risk programs by implementing controls and governance around access to systems by employees, customers and others.

Deloitte’s cyber strategy and infrastructure professionals help organizations focus on enterprise-level risks through a strategic lens. Our work helps clients reimagine risk to uncover strategic opportunities aligned with their business priorities—to gain competitive advantage and become more trustworthy, resilient and secure. We do that through a whole-life-cycle approach that spans strategy all the way through infrastructure implementation and management. We help clients conduct cyber assessments and benchmarking that set a foundation for training and reporting across the organization. And we help them identify potential insider threats and design programs to thwart it. Then we turn the lens toward helping clients modernize their core and cloud infrastructures with next-generation security controls that help manage risks and exposure.
