Cloud B2B Solutions survives cyber attacks

As a supplier of cloud-based products designed to put common business processes online, Cloud B2B Solutions takes IT security very seriously. Using independent external consultants, it recently embarked on a series of ‘penetration tests’ to discover any vulnerabilities in its systems and applications.

Penetration testing can be thought of as ethical (‘white hat’) hacking, using all the techniques used by real world hackers. Its aim is to test systematically the security of an organisation’s IT infrastructure.

Cloud B2B Solutions had its systems subjected to a series of planned cyber-attacks that involved an active and passive analysis of its IT infrastructures and applications, as well as testing of the human elements that might compromise security.

The company used Bulletproof, the dedicated information security arm of a market-leading company in ultra-secure cloud hosting, who found that Cloud B2B Solutions’ systems successfully withstood the testing, giving them a clean bill of health. Industry standard CREST and Tigerscheme procedures were deployed. This result confirms the security of the company’s risk management programme, and crucially gives their clients peace of mind that their data will be safe from cyber- threats in the future.
