Foursys launches free online IT Risk Tool
October 2016 by Marc Jacob
Foursys - cybersecurity specialists for more than 20 years - eleases the results of its October 2016 online poll. 72% of IT administrators who responded say they have difficulties accessing budget to secure their IT systems.
ABOUT THE FOURSYS CYBERSECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT
Foursys’s interactive Cybersecurity Risk Assessment is a free-to-use online portal containing 12 cybersecurity modules. Based on answers provided in each module, Foursys grades the IT risk posture and provides a free detailed risk assessment report, specific to the answers provided.
The tool has been independently verified by Virus Bulletin’s Chief of Operations, John Hawes:
“Foursys have created an excellent tool enabling those responsible for digital security to ensure they are keeping up with best practices in multiple areas, even helping more expert users ensure they’re not leaving any gaps in their defences."
– It’s online and interactive. Complete in your own time. You can save your progress at any time and come back later. Upon completing each module, a risk summary and grade are shown onscreen.
– It’s modular. Assess your organisation’s overall cybersecurity posture or focus on specific areas of concern (such as device management, wireless security or firewall security).
– It’s bespoke. The results are compiled into a stakeholder-ready cybersecurity assessment report (PDF) that champions your security strengths and provides recommendations on how to address any weaknesses.
– It’s free for everyone. Use it to educate teams, to convince stakeholders of resource requirements, to test your own knowledge of your network, or to benchmark your organisation’s exposure to risk.
