Safeguarding Private Equity Investments from Cyber Threats
Cyber attackers often target portfolio companies as they are growth-focused and usually have less mature cyber operations, making them easy targets. Sophisticated attackers perform complex reconnaissance on private equity firms and their portfolio companies, seeking to obtain stolen or poorly secured documents, as well as harvest key employee credentials. They exploit this knowledge to embed themselves within the organization, hijack relationships, intercept emails, and even initiate wire transfers to steal millions of dollars.
Board members at private equity firms are challenged by a lack of visibility and control over their portfolio companies. Defensive tools deployed across their portfolio companies are often inconsistent, making it difficult to protect against breaches. Breaches can negatively impact deal execution, deal value, integration, and reputations, putting future deals at risk. In fact, the public nature of private equity work makes it a target for attackers, putting both buyers and sellers at risk.

Assume a State of Compromise
Threat actors often maintain persistent access to their victims over extended periods of time, getting business insights and stealing sensitive data. Leverage our technology as well as our experience in incident response and digital forensics to get a deep, forensic review of your portfolio companies over an extended period of time. We will analyze every endpoint, user, cloud service and network flow to discover any anomalies in your network and to ensure that your environment is not compromised.
Mitigating Reputational RIsks
Businesses are being breached every day, and what matters most is how these breaches are handled. Public companies often struggle to confirm whether their systems were accessed by threat actors or whether data was exfiltrated. This lack of understanding can pose substantial reputational risks for businesses and their shareholders.
Our platform provides continuous, recorded evidence that helps you maintain a state of assurance and quickly investigate and understand the extent of any compromises, data breaches, or exfiltration events. With our platform, you can be confident in your ability to respond to and mitigate potential cyber threats, protecting both your business and your stakeholders.
