Cybersecurity advisory services

Reduce cyber risk, prevent attacks, and identify and respond to security threats with cyber threat advisory services from industry experts

What is cyber threat management?

Choose an integrated approach to cyber threat management. 

The growing network complexity of modern businesses caused by remote working and cloud migration has introduced new security threats. Attempting to manage and secure each system individually is no longer effective against new and mutating malware, advanced persistent threats (APT) and cloud security vulnerabilities.

Effective cyber threat management requires more than identifying and responding to ongoing attacks. Proactive security measures are necessary in order to identify and block cyberattacks and minimise the potential damage and cost associated with these attacks.

BT’s threat management advisory services are designed to cover a wide range of security functions to help you defend your business against the latest cyber threats.

Our expertise includes: 

  • Attack vector analysis to identify existing security gaps and align security controls
  • Spend your security budget on the right solution to deliver maximum value.

The Zero Trust security model comes with four core benefits: reduced business risk, access control over cloud environments, reduced risk of data breach and compliance initiatives support.

Our capabilities:

You’ll need a thorough understanding of what’s connected to your network and the security risks it represents, plus you’ll want to know how IoT and adopting new technologies like SD-WAN affects your risk.

NIS2 Directive - Be better prepared with BT

The NIS2 Directive is a new European Union legislation that all member states and organisations providing services with the EU must comply with. 

NIS2 aims to protect critical organisations and infrastructure within the EU from cyber threats and to achieve a high level of common security across the EU by ensuring our organisations strengthen their security to be resilient enough to withstand increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. NIS2 goes further and harder than any previous legislation. More industries fall under its remit, rapid identification and reporting of compliance failures is compulsory and accountability for non-compliance will fall on senior management, as well as the organisation - with harsh financial and operational penalties for both.

Relevant Sectors: 

Banks & Financial | Chemicals | Digital Industry | Digital Services | Infrastructure | IT Service Mgmt. | Energy | Food | Health | Postal and Courier | Public Administration | Research | Space | Transport | Water | (Drinking/Waste)

Our expertise include: 

  • Identifying existing security gaps and aligning security controls
  • Helping you comply with industry specific security standards
  • Focusing investment on key gaps to deliver compliance
