AVET
Leading-Edge Cybersecurity, Risk Management, and Compliance Consulting

In the midst of this culture of openness and sharing, we need to think carefully about the information we're volunteering to the world. Sometimes the world is listening.” - Kevin D. Mitnick, renowned hacker.

True to his words, the Internet’s growth to be a market space, combined with the rapid adoption of e-commerce platforms, has provided a larger surface for hackers to attack. To safeguard the best interest of all stakeholders in a business, SMBs collaborate with cybersecurity solution providers and comply with the latest IT security infrastructures that help address issues.

AVET Information and Network Security (AVET INS) is a notable name in the landscape, delivering reliable and compliant cybersecurity measures to protect critical enterprise facets and enable quick response to breaches.

Its portfolio includes network penetration, baseline defense, and compliance services, helping clients to achieve their desired cybersecurity goals. AVET’s solutions have made their way into many industries, including automotive, banking, energy, finance, healthcare, insurance, and telecom.

“Penetration testing requires a deep understanding of underlying business processes and compliance requirements. Automatic testing can be a part of this process, and it is critical to deploy manual checks as well,” says Aleksander Czarnowski, founder and CEO of AVET INS.

AVET uses advanced and innovative penetration techniques and ethical hacking to assess the security of an organization’s system, infrastructure, applications and data, and diagnose its security drawbacks. Its compliance specialists have developed a cybersecurity and risk management posture that aligns with client needs. The services adhere to ISO 27001, NIS, Cloud Security, PCI, DSS, and other relevant regulations, enabling clients to explore cutting-edge avenues confidently.

Concocting a mixture of automated and manual testing, AVET INS constantly invests in enhancing its team’s expertise and equipping them with proper cybersecurity toolsets for network attack surface assessment. Part of its core architecture is a fuzzing framework successfully used in the Common Criteria evaluation process.

To develop a custom set of penetration testing tools, AVET assesses the network for any missing technology and architecture and, if required, adds the features within a short period. The ultra-quick development and update time allows clients to reduce the complexity of deliverables and save on costs by deploying a single solution, compared to separate platforms to complete a penetration testing process.

During The Attack, Defense, And Compliance Phases, We Deploy A Flexible Risk-Based Remediation Plan For Different Organizational Structures, Avoiding Regulatory Fines And Penalties

Once the security and compliance aspects are set in place, AVET’s baseline defense maintains constant cybersecurity monitoring, secure coding, software security, and DevSecOps to safeguard valuable business assets, processes, and resources from unauthorized access. Above all, it supports clients in establishing a defensive posture that can effectively protect their organizations from existing and impending cyber threats.

“During the attack, defense, and compliance phases, we deploy a flexible risk-based remediation plan for different organizational structures, avoiding regulatory fines and penalties,” says Czarnowski.

Unlike its contemporaries that rely on opensourced or commercially available tools with generic capabilities, AVET INS develops cybersecurity tools for performing in-house attacks and vulnerability assessments. It continually conducts attack assignments to test inconsistencies in the functionality of its fuzzing frameworks to create solutions adaptable to everevolving cybercrimes. This competency is backed by AVET’s knowledgeable and cybersecurity-trained management board, which leverages its technical and regulatory expertise to ensure the delivery of highquality services.

In a recent project, AVET INS, known for tackling never-before-seen challenges, assisted a customer in achieving Common Criteria (CC) certification requirements for their cryptographic product. AVET’s seasoned certification authority and software developer teams understood the required CC documentation and aligned it with the functionalities of their product. In the end, its experts developed a toolset for penetration testing in sync with the CC scheme to ensure their cryptographic solution is protected by the highest security standards and complies with relevant regulatory guidelines.

In another case, while performing an attack test on a financial database, AVET identified hidden parts of a network that were vulnerable. Realizing the attack framework did not have adequate functionality to address the issue effectively, it added the missing links within a couple of days.

Passionate about the cybersecurity sector and having researched the subject, AVET hires employees that share the same energy, in addition to a high degree of experience in the cybersecurity field.

“People who have recently finished their courses cannot become cybersecurity experts overnight and may have an opposite point of view. With more than 25 years of experience, we are comfortable selecting the best talents or people with potential,” adds Czarnowski.

To further strengthen and control every aspect of the delivery process, AVET has a team of certified executives that maintain a tight leadership and ensure every process is certified through a quality management system.

“The Most Crucial Elements That Directly Contribute To Our Success On A Global Scale Are Quality And Knowledge Of The Cybersecurity Spectrum To Deliver Solutions And Services To The Customers”

“The most crucial elements that directly contribute to our success on a global scale are quality and knowledge of the cybersecurity spectrum to deliver solutions and services to the customers,” elaborates Czarnowski.

AVET’s exquisite intelligence facilitates navigating challenges as local, international, and EU security standards like ISO or GDPR come into play during penetration testing projects. It invests significant time in comprehending client business models and their needs when it comes to safeguarding them against cybercrime. From a local culture standpoint, this business approach eliminates potential gaps in reporting and regulatory aspects.

A trusted advisor and service provider, AVET INS envisions aligning its products with leading-edge technologies to assist businesses in safeguarding their data infrastructures without worrying about complying with evolving mandates. Creating the perfect blend of cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance consulting and solutions, AVET INS is planning to release a line of software commercially. The products will first be available to a few select companies, and eventually, a larger rollout to a broader audience in 2023.
