About

Cyber-attacks like ransomware, malware, and social engineering are currently one of the most damaging contingencies in the 21st century . Therefore, it is essential to be able to identify vulnerabilities in an enterprise's digital and human resources in order to stop possible exploitation that could cause financial and reputational harm. Adrestia R&D is currently developing three independent solutions to assess software and human vulnerabilities and potentially automate software mitigation actions. The Hound®️ (Vulnerability Assessment as a Service) tackles the issue of identifying technical vulnerabilities in an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure and provides ways of mitigating these vulnerabilities. Johnny One®️ (Robotic Process Automation Suite) offers Software Robots that can remotely and automatically remediate discovered vulnerabilities at scale, eliminating the need for human manual labor. Sigmund®️ (Human Vulnerability Assessment Framework) offers an intuitive platform that enables the execution of customized phishing campaigns and the GDPR-compliant evaluation of the human factor across organizational departments.

Solution & Product

The Hound®️ Adrestia R&D’s technical vulnerability assessment tool, The Hound®️, assesses an ICT infrastructure by identifying technical vulnerabilities in the services running within the infrastructure. It produces an easy-to-understand and informative report while also providing automated and non-automated mitigation actions. Johnny One®️ Adrestia R&D’s robotic process automation suite, Johnny One®️, is a powerful, cloud-native, and cross-platform suite for automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks using state-of-the-art robotic process automation techniques. Through Johnny One®️, the user can automate any kind of interaction on local and remote machines, thus creating the automation process manually or automatically through the integrated, multi-technology Johnny One®️’s interaction recorders. Sigmund®️ In conjunction with the aforementioned tools, Adrestia R&D’s human vulnerability assessment tool, Sigmund®️, provides a holistic approach to cybersecurity risk management. Sigmund®️ allows businesses to effortlessly build and launch tailored phishing campaigns to analyze their workers' susceptibility to social engineering assaults. Following the assessment procedures, the software creates thorough reports that identify areas of vulnerability and draw meaningful conclusions to lead to critical decisions for the cyber security training of an enterprise’s personnel. Sigmund®️’s interface guides customers through the whole evaluation process.

Innovation & Scalability

Modern vulnerability assessment tools require deep knowledge of the cybersecurity field and therefore provide complicated dashboards as well as complicated instructions. Additionally, these tools only generate reports, necessitating a significant amount of user action to mitigate vulnerabilities. Adrestia R&D combines an easy-to-use technical vulnerability assessment tool with its robotic process automation software to provide automated mitigation actions to end-users. Concerning the human assessment aspect, most tools provide simple phishing campaign frameworks that are not user specific. As a result, they do not provide accurate results. Adrestia R&D provides a human vulnerability framework that will conduct tailored phishing attacks to assess the risk of cyber-security breaches concerning the human factor across organizational departments. This will ensure that enterprises will be able to identify cyber security-related vulnerabilities in their employees, educate them in time, and, as a result, prevent imminent social engineering-related cyberattacks. Ultimately, each framework will be operated through a user interface that emphasizes simplicity and accessibility.
