The overwhelming growth of electronic data and Internet use has caused an exponential increase in cyber-crime. People are more mobile than ever before, enlarging the scope of potential threats to include terrorist attacks and pandemic natural or industrial disasters. Thales consultants bring detailed knowledge of national security directives to their solution sets, which are equipped to respond to all civil security needs.

Security Consulting
With organisations facing new threats, an ever increasing number of assets and growing complexity of vulnerabilities, the challenge to mitigate security risks gets greater each year. Identifying, evaluating and tracking the level of exposure of information systems and critical assets is a key requirement for maintaining optimal security risk management. To satisfy this need, Thales provides three key technical service offers, from risk assessment and security policy to business continuity in extreme situations.
- Recurring Risk Assessments: Regular assessments of an organisation's sensitive activities involving critical assets and people, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities, defining security policy and master plan.
- Intrusion Testing: Demonstrating that vulnerabilities found in an organisation's access point are exploitable.
- Business Resilience: Defining the organisation, crisis management testing, and operational continuity.
