What can Scud do for your company?
After looking at dozens of Cybersecurity websites we realized that they were complicated to understand if someone is not a specialist. So we created a series of short questions and answers to explain what Scud Cybersecurity can do for your company.
I need to know if I am well protected
There is no infallible system in cybersecurity, since everything evolves so fast that it is not possible to be always 100% protected. But Scud Security will be looking at all your network traffic, from any device and comparing it with any known threats in a multitude of cybersecurity databases. If there is anything suspicious, it triggers an alert that one of our analysts will verify. If there is a threat, you’ll know in no time.
Think that one antivirus on each PC is no longer enough. There are hundreds of devices connected to your network that can harbor malware. We have found “viruses” in security cameras, fingerprint readers, IoT devices, Scada devices and printers, just to give you an example.
I don't have a cybersecurity specialist in my company, what can I do?
I don't want a ransomware to get into me
Ransomware that locks your company and demands a ransom to return your IT systems can appear in two ways: Either someone clicks on the wrong link and downloads a file, or hackers have gained access to your company’s network and they have introduced the malicious files into your systems.
The ways in which Scud will protect you from ransomware are several:
- Scud attacks your systems proactively (pentesting) trying to find vulnerabilities and for example low quality passwords. Everything that is wrong with your network will be reported to you about 45 days after installing Scud. Most of the attacks that a hacker may try against your company Scud will constantly try to find weaknesses in your system.
- Scud detects all incoming and outgoing connections in your company. We know the IP addresses of common APTs from our data sources. If a connection to an Advanced Persistent Thread leaves your company, our analysts will be alerted immediately.
I have been hit by ransomware
If you already have ransomware and your company is blocked. Write to info@scudsecurity.com or call us. You will be considering whether to pay the ransom demanded or not, but the most important thing is to know how they have entered to prevent them from re-entering and block everything again. It is very easy that any backup you have is already infected with “the gateway”.
It won’t be easy to get your business back to normal, but our hardware and analyst expertise can help you make sure this doesn’t happen again.
I am concerned about my employees clicking on malicious links.
I'm worried about competitors spying on me
I am concerned about my unhappy employees
It’s a valid concern. A disgruntled employee with access to critical systems can be one of the biggest threats to a company’s cybersecurity. Whether for revenge or financial gain, he or she could leak information, delete data or even install backdoors to gain access after leaving the company.
Scud Security can help you minimize this risk in several ways:
- Monitoring in real time all the company’s connections, detecting suspicious access or unusual data transfers.
- Limiting employee privileges according to their function. They should only have access to what they really need.
- Alerting if a user attempts to extract data to USB devices, cloud services or personal emails.
- Blocking unauthorized remote access from outside the company.
Many insider attacks are not discovered until the damage is already done. With Scud, any suspicious activity will generate an alert so you can act before it’s too late.
I'm concerned about data leakage fines
In Europe, data protection is a priority, and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent. The NIS2 Directive, which came into force in January 2023 and whose transposition into national legislation was to be completed by October 17, 2024, imposes stringent cybersecurity obligations. Failure to comply with these obligations can lead to severe penalties, including fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover for essential entities, and up to €7 million or 1.4% for significant entities.
In addition, the NIS2 introduces direct liability for management teams. This means that, in the event of a data leak due to negligence or lack of adequate security measures, not only the company can be penalized, but also the managers in their personal capacity. This can include professional disqualifications and other legal repercussions.
To mitigate these risks, it is essential to have robust and up-to-date security systems. Scud Security offers continuous protection, monitoring all your network traffic and comparing it with databases of known threats. Our specialized analysts review any suspicious activity, ensuring that your company complies with current regulations and avoiding possible sanctions.
Don’t underestimate the implications of a data breach. Beyond the financial penalties, the reputational damage and legal repercussions for management can be devastating. Implementing proactive cybersecurity measures is a necessary investment to protect both your company and its management team.
I want to pass NIS2 or ISO27001 certification.
Audits for NIS2 or ISO27001 are point-in-time assessments, a “snapshot” of your company’s security status at a given point in time. But cybersecurity is not static, threats are constantly evolving, and what is compliant today may be vulnerable tomorrow.
Scud Security not only helps you comply with these regulations, but goes further, offering continuous, real-time protection:
- 24/7 monitoring: While an audit checks your security at a specific point in time, Scud analyzes all network traffic continuously, detecting threats in real time.
- Vulnerability detection: We identify weak points in your infrastructure and notify you before an audit points them out as a problem.
- Reporting: Scud provides you with detailed reports on your security, making it easier to comply with regulatory requirements and prepare for audits.
- Expert support: Most IT teams do not have cybersecurity specialists. Our analysts review alerts and guide you through the corrective actions needed to comply with standards.
Many clients use Scud not only to become certified, but to ensure that their company maintains the required level of security at all times, not just on the day of the audit.
Old and hackable devices
Older devices are a common gateway for cybercriminals. Outdated printers, security cameras, routers and equipment can have known vulnerabilities that are easily exploited by hackers.
Scud Security protects you from this threat because:
- It detects all devices connected to your network and identifies them, even those that your IT team might have overlooked.
- Alerts you if a device has outdated firmware or known vulnerabilities.
- Blocks suspicious connections to or from compromised devices.
- It allows isolating insecure equipment so that it cannot affect the rest of the network.
We have found vulnerable devices in large enterprises that would never have suspected they were at risk. With Scud, you’ll make sure nothing goes unattended.
How do I know my company's passwords are strong?
Passwords remain one of the weakest points in cybersecurity. Although complex passwords are recommended, many employees continue to use weak or repeated passwords across multiple services.
Scud Security can help you verify the strength of your passwords in several ways:
- Performing credential audits, testing if your passwords have been leaked in hacker databases.
- Alerting if we detect the use of default passwords on routers, printers or IoT devices.
- Identifying accounts with weak passwords or credentials reused across multiple services.
- Testing controlled attacks (pentesting) to simulate how a hacker would try to access your company.
If the passwords are not secure enough, you will know before it is too late.
If I have an infected device, can it infect other devices in my company?
Yes, and it’s more common than you think. A single infected device can compromise the entire network in a matter of minutes, spreading malware to other computers or being used as a gateway for new attacks.
Scud Security detects and blocks such threats quickly thanks to:
- Traffic monitoring: If an infected device attempts to communicate with malicious IP addresses or spread malware within the network, Scud will detect it immediately.
- Blocking suspicious connections: If we identify anomalous activity, we can isolate the compromised device to prevent the infection from spreading.
- Behavioral analysis: If a computer starts acting in an unusual way, such as scanning the network for other vulnerable devices, it will generate an automatic alert.
- Malicious file recognition: Scud compares files circulating in your network with a database of known malware hashes. If a malicious file is detected, an immediate alert is generated before it can be executed on other computers.
Early detection is key to avoid major damage. With Scud, any sign of infection will be identified and neutralized before it can affect your entire company.
How do I show my boss that having antivirus is not enough protection for our company?
Many managers believe that an antivirus is enough to protect a company, but the reality is that modern attacks go far beyond what an antivirus can detect.
Here are some key points that can help convince your boss:
- The antivirus only protects the computers where it is installed. It does not cover servers, printers, security cameras, IoT devices or the network in general.
- Modern malware evades antivirus software. Many attacks use advanced techniques to avoid detection, such as hiding their code in memory or disguising themselves as legitimate programs.
- Threats come from multiple fronts. An antivirus cannot stop phishing attacks, unauthorized access, malicious network traffic or internal data leaks.
- Scud detects what antivirus cannot. We monitor the entire network, analyze traffic for threats and detect suspicious activity on any device, not just PCs.
- Your IT team doesn’t usually have cybersecurity specialists. Most companies don’t have dedicated security experts, and relying on antivirus alone is a huge risk. With Scud, you have a team of specialized analysts who review every alert, investigate incidents and help you make informed decisions.
A good example: A customer with up-to-date antivirus discovered, thanks to Scud, that their network had IoT devices infected with malware and that some of their employees were inadvertently connecting to servers of cybercrime groups.
If your boss wants a test, the best way is to install Scud and see what it detects in your own company. In less than a month, it will surely find vulnerabilities that the antivirus never reported.

E-mail and phishing scams
It is well known that emails are often the initial point of engagement. For cybercriminals, it becomes a perfect attack vector that opens a gateway directly to your infrastructure. The biggest challenge is to automatically detect and block scams, phishing and malicious attachments while keeping your employees informed of mass and targeted attacks.
Online scams and phishing
As the most pervasive, behavioral and deceptive cyber threats, digital scams and phishing use an impressive array of techniques and tools. Phishing attacks are often disguised as online services, while phishing websites are hosted on compromised legitimate resources. In addition, more than half of high-tech crimes in 2021 were scams and phishing, making them one of the most challenging threats in history.
Lack of intelligence about scams
Fraudsters continue to innovate and change techniques, tools and schemes. It is a real challenge to keep up with them, and the only solution is to track, analyze and accumulate information about their activities because the efficient approach to fraud protection involves identifying networks of fraudulent resources and cybercriminal infrastructures on a daily basis.
Social engineering, vishing, scam calls
Protecting your customers from unsolicited phone calls, phishing scams or vishing becomes increasingly important as voice artificial intelligence technologies evolve.
