What We Do
Our Main Services are:
Cyber awareness training for companies to offer their employees, technical assessments of IT systems to identify vulnerabilities, and penetration testing to validate security, and recovery services if applicable.
Technical Assessment
Identify gaps in your IT systems that could be exploited by cybercriminals. These assessments provide actionable recommendations to enhance your security.
Cyber Awareness Training
After completing a technical assessment, businesses can enroll in training for employees and employers. This training focuses on common cyber threats and teaches practical strategies for maintaining good cyber hygiene.
Ongoing Business Security
Based on the insights gained from the program, Cybersafe Hawai’i provides businesses with access to local and national resources that are able to implement cybersecurity measures. These resources can be retained by your business to upgrade your defenses or aid in recovery from a cyberattack.
Penetration Testing
To ensure vulnerabilities have been addressed, penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to validate your IT network’s security. Upon completion, you will receive a report and debrief that includes recommendations for remediation.
