TRISKELE LABS AND OUR EFFORTS IN THE CYBERSECURITY/ANTI-FRAUD NICHE

Given that we live and breathe cybersecurity, here at Triskele Labs, many of our solutions are geared towards preventing fraud within our clients’ operations. 

Phishing and social engineering can be quite problematic for businesses who don’t take the right precautions and are extremely common types of cybersecurity attacks. Here, hackers attempt to gain access to computer systems or confidential data by taking the guise of established organisations or reputed individuals, sometimes even those belonging to the very company an intended victim belongs to.

These are, arguably, some of the most threatening forms of fraud given the potential fallouts of a successful phishing/social engineering attack. 

To prevent this from taking place, we provide businesses with comprehensive anti-phishing training. This includes how to identify a threatening email and simulations of these types of attacks, helping employees prepare for various scenarios.

We’ve also developed our own in-house solution, PhishAway, which is an effective tool for simulated phishing. We provide this as a managed service - all our clients need to do is enter their email addresses; we take care of the rest. 

PhishAway provides all of the functionality you’d expect from an automated solution, including customised campaigns, unique URLs, and awareness training for potential targets at a fraction of the cost that’s normally levied. 

Our red team services are equally useful, given that they prepare companies for the threats of the real world. Here real attacks are simulated, testing how companies and their employees defend themselves against these attacks.

Using the results of these tests, we help businesses remain on the safe side and protect their data, systems, hardware, and related digital resources. Moreover, red teaming allows organisations to identify chinks in their armour and shore up their defences in particularly vulnerable areas.
