Cybersecurity Strategy & Assessments
In an increasingly connected economy, the importance of cyber security and risk management rises. You need to validate, re-orient and re-align your cybersecurity strategy.
Assess your capabilities and maturity with an ISG assessment built off of industry-leading frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Top 20, ISO) and market-leading benchmark data. We’ll help you baseline your maturity levels and develop transformational roadmaps to move up the maturity curve.
Sourcing Cybersecurity
Outsourcing cybersecurity tools and services on a stand-alone basis or as embedded services can be essential in times of scarce resources and increasing professional and advanced persistent threats.
When sourcing operational services, your chosen partner’s compliance with your corporate information security controls, policies and standards impacts your cyber security’s resilience. Managing your transaction and transition means carefully segregating duties between your organization, your partner and its internal governance.
Transform your Cybersecurity with Digital Operations
Re-directed strategy, digitization approaches and sourcing of services and tools let you achieve the expected value leveraging holistically managed transformation measures. Digital tools and services improve efficiency and lower failure rates. End-to-end business processes and connected or digital products require extra-vigilant security protocols.
ISG knows the market best practices. We’ll enable your successful digital transformation with a cyber security operations and management model.

User and Entity Behavior Analytics Anomaly Detection At Scale
ISG helps a multinational insurance company achieve anomaly-based risk detection using user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) technology.
Title :
User and Entity Behavior Analytics Anomaly Detection At Scale
Alternate title :
The Cyber Defense Center (CDC) of a large insurance company was interested in a user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) solution. Its goal was to build a new capability to detect insider threats. It also wanted to be able to perform anomaly detection at scale.
The insurance company brought in ISG to lead a proof of concept and enable management of a central UEBA strategy decision. Ultimately, this resulted in the company deciding that their upcoming security information and event management (SIEM) request for proposals process should include UEBA in the same contract.
First, ISG helped to align stakeholders on how to measure return on investment (ROI) in this space. One of the main indicators of ROI within the cybersecurity domain is the measured risk that any particular investment (tool or technology) mitigates.
Compared to most security tools that only create value after finetuning has been done, a UEBA solution utilizing machine learning is always continuously learning the behavior of users and assets within its environment. This means that the better the baseline of the solution is, the fewer false positive alerts it has.
In order to provide the company with a structure for making the management decision regarding a central UEBA strategy, ISG led the following activities:
- We defined, aligned and documented the company’s requirements for a UEBA solution based on key CDC stakeholder input.
- Then, ISG presented on and aligned the CDC requirements to ISO standards, the data protection officer (DPO) and the workers’ council department to define and document potential limitations.
- We conducted a proof of value with a vendor. Finally, we helped the company evaluate results to enable the management decision on a central UEBA strategy.

CISOs Will Invest in Eliminating Threats and Reducing Costs, Enhancing UX and Risk Posture
The year 2022 saw multidimensional challenges, which helped revolutionize the U.S. cybersecurity market from different perspectives. In that year, the U.S. witnessed more than 1,800 reported breaches, which was slightly lower than in 2021, which saw 1,862 incidents. However, the sophistication of the attacks was significantly higher in 2022, with more than 422 million individuals impacted compared with 298 million in 2021. The decline in breaches was partially due to federal laws that issued rulings to report only during actual damage and not for a potential one. While most large firms issued a breach notice, the notices had little to no information on the extent and impact of the attacks. Industry sources cite that the average time to identify a breach is about 207 days, which is almost half a year; the impact of the breaches is either unknown or not investigated further.
