Our Accelerated Solution Decision Support (ASDS) Service aims to deliver interventions rapidly to enable cyber security capability to evolve at pace commensurate with the changing threats and opportunities. Pace is achieved through a combination of management and resource. A consortium approach, using rapid start-up and agile operational methodologies, exploits existing infrastructure, corporate services, and partner networks.
Our ASDS service engages with customers across a broad range of technologies who are facing cyber security challenges from evolving threats. We advise and deliver solutions at pace to address issues, risks and problems across enterprises.
The service follows four key principles to personalise the service and deliver exceptional security value. They are:
Assement of the Problem
The service provides a central function by which critical security issues and problems can be assessed and triaged. An initial prioritisation of the issue and assignment of the problem across the solution community takes place, ensuring that best of breed experts from across industry are brought to bear to achieve resolution. Capable of addressing all kinds of cyber security issues and threats from technology-specific to enterprise-wide. Our approach takes into account the current thinking of industry leaders, such as the NCSC, and aligns where possible. In addition expert insights into the cyber security domain, with views and reports on developing trends help to appropriately assess security issues at an early stage.
Co-Ordination of Solution Effort
The service provides organisations with rapid access expert knowledge of the cyber security domain from industry experts, academia and government agencies. The service draws on our heritiage as a research and development organisation, bringing together industry leaders and subject matter experts, through a consortia approach to address developing security issues.
Rapid Prototyping
The service is delivered using agile methodologies and can respond rapidly to critical problems affecting organisations. Issues are quickily evaluated, solution approaches developed and working prototypes delivered, to ensure that organisations can respond rapidily to developing digital problems.
This approach allows candidate solutions to fail fast, meaning that effort can be directed effectively towards speedy resolution of the problem.
Acclerated Delivery & Integration
The service is delivered in a way that focuses on the delivery of solutions and the integration of these into existing systems as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Using DevOps methodologies, the service is able to work closely with customer operational teams to rapidly deploy solutions into live production systems that address inflight issues and resolve security problems.
