APT Defend Platform

Introduction:

In the face of growing cyber threats that affected over 64% of enterprises in 2020, APT Defend becomes a key tool in IT protection arsenals. This is particularly important for companies of all sizes, which often become targets of attacks due to insufficient security measures.

Product Description:

APT Defend is an innovative solution for building cyber threat awareness among employees. It contains a wide range of hacker attack simulation capabilities, conducted by experienced cybersecurity specialists. This system offers flexible tools for customizing training scenarios and security policies, based on current cyberthreat trends.

Deployment Models:

APT Defend stands out with deployment flexibility, offering three models tailored to organizational needs:

• SaaS (Software as a Service) - quick cloud deployment, without infrastructure management requirements
• Hybrid - combination of cloud advantages with local components for organizations with specific requirements
• On-premise - full installation in client infrastructure, ideal for large enterprises and institutions requiring full data control and compliance with rigorous security policies

The on-premise model represents a significant competitive advantage of APT Defend - many large companies and regulated institutions (financial sector, public administration, critical infrastructure) require that data on attack simulations and employee results remain exclusively in their infrastructure.

Customer Benefits:

• Effective training using realistic attack simulations, increasing threat awareness among employees.

• Significant reduction of successful phishing attacks and other social engineering methods.

• Increased organizational resilience to cyberattacks.

Features and Specifications:

• APT Defend Console: Central system for managing simulations and analyzing their effectiveness.

• Two-stage authentication scenarios (2FA) for comprehensive attack simulation.

• Wide range of threat scenarios, including phishing, smishing, and USB dropping.

Target Audience:

APT Defend is essential for any organization, from small businesses to large corporations, striving to increase their cyber threat resilience.

Use Cases (Case Study):

• Challenge: An e-commerce company experienced an increase in cyberattack attempts on their platform. Due to storing sensitive customer data such as credit card information, they became an attractive target for cybercriminals.

• Solution: Using APT Defend, the company decided to conduct a series of simulated phishing attacks to understand how employees respond to various attack methods. This allowed the company to identify weaknesses in employee awareness and cyclically raise the level of threat awareness.

• Result: After implementing APT Defend, the company recorded a 95% decrease in successful phishing attack attempts.

Case Study 2: Advertising Industry Company

• Challenge: A well-known advertising industry company had problems with phishing and vishing attacks on their employees, which led to several cases of unauthorized access to sensitive client data.

• Solution: Collaborating with APT Defend, the company conducted phishing, smishing, and USB dropping attack simulations. This allowed for a precise understanding of which activities were most vulnerable to these types of threats and where employees needed additional training.

• Result: Thanks to focusing on specific problems and training with APT Defend, the company reduced the number of successful attacks by 92%. Employees became more threat-aware and learned how to effectively defend against them.
