What can Scud do for your company?

After reviewing dozens of cybersecurity websites, we realized that they can be difficult to understand for anyone who isn’t an expert. So we’ve put together a series of brief questions and answers to explain what Scud Cybersecurity can do for your company.

I need to know if I'm well protected

There is no foolproof system in cybersecurity, since everything evolves so quickly that it’s impossible to be 100% protected at all times. But Scud Security will monitor all traffic on your network—from any device—and compare it to known threats in a multitude of cybersecurity databases. If anything suspicious is detected, it triggers an alert that one of our analysts will verify. If there is a threat, you’ll know about it in no time.

Keep in mind that having antivirus software on every PC is no longer enough. There are hundreds of devices connected to your network that could harbor malicious software. We’ve found “viruses” in security cameras, fingerprint readers, IoT devices, SCADA devices, and printers, just to give you a few examples.

This is to be expected—there are few specialists in cybersecurity, which is a broad and complex field. That’s why choosing Scud’s products—and especially the support provided by our analysts—is the ideal way to strengthen your IT department.

Ransomware that locks down your company and demands a ransom to restore your IT systems can occur 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 injected malicious files into your systems.

Scud protects you from ransomware in several ways:

  • Scud proactively attacks your systems (penetration testing) to identify vulnerabilities and, for example, weak passwords. Any issues on your network will be reported to you about 45 days after installing Scud. Scud will constantly simulate most of the attacks a hacker might attempt against your company, searching for weaknesses in your system.
  • Scud detects all incoming and outgoing connections at your company. We know the IP addresses of common APTs thanks to our data sources. If a connection leaves your company and is directed toward an AdvancedPersistent Threat (APT), our analysts will receive an alert immediately.

If you’ve already been hit by ransomware and your business is locked up, email us at info@scudsecurity.com or give us a call. You’re probably wondering whether or not to pay the ransom they’re demanding, but the most important thing is to find out how they got in so you can prevent them from getting in again and locking everything up once more. It’s very likely that any backups you have are already infected with “the backdoor.”

It won’t be easy to get your business back to normal, but our hardware and our analysts’ expertise can help ensure this doesn’t happen again.

A client told us that, following a cybersecurity training session at his company, the training provider sent a test email to all participants under the guise of a regular message. Five percent of the training attendees clicked on that “trap” email. We’re human; we make mistakes. Training is very important, but even so, it’s always better to have a system like Scud that constantly monitors your network and the connections made through it.
If you’re in an industry where R&D plays a major role, it’s natural to be concerned. These days, it’s not hard to hire unscrupulous companies to design a customized attack on your business. The answers to all the other questions apply here as well. These attacks are carried out using tools we’re familiar with and can detect, either by their hash or by the IP addresses they connect to.

That’s a valid concern. A disgruntled employee with access to critical systems can be one of the greatest threats to a company’s cybersecurity. Whether out of revenge or for financial gain, such an employee 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 all of the company’s connections in real time to detect suspicious access attempts or unusual data transfers.
  • Limit employees’ privileges based on their role. They should only have access to what they actually need.
  • Alerts users if they attempt to transfer data to USB devices, cloud services, or personal email accounts.
  • Blocking unauthorized remote access from outside the company.

Many internal attacks aren’t detected until the damage has already been done. With Scud, any suspicious activity will trigger an alert so you can take action before it’s too late.

In Europe, data protection is a priority, and regulations are becoming increasingly strict. The NIS2 Directive, which took effect in January 2023 and was required to be transposed into national law by October 17, 2024, imposes rigorous cybersecurity obligations. Failure to comply with these obligations can result in severe penalties, including fines of up to 10 million euros or 2% of global annual revenue for critical entities, and up to 7 million euros or 1.4% for significant entities.

In addition, NIS2 introduces direct liability for management teams. This means that, in the event of a data breach due to negligence or a lack of adequate security measures, not only can the company be penalized, but management members can also be held personally liable. This may include professional disqualifications and other legal consequences.

To mitigate these risks, it is essential to have robust and up-to-date security systems. Scud Security offers continuous protection by monitoring all traffic on your network and comparing it to databases of known threats. Our specialized analysts review any suspicious activity, ensuring that your company complies with current regulations and avoiding potential penalties.

Don’t underestimate the implications of a data breach. Beyond financial penalties, the damage to your company’s reputation and the legal consequences for management can be devastating. Implementing proactive cybersecurity measures is a necessary investment to protect both your company and its management team.

NIS2 or ISO 27001 audits are assessments conducted at specific points in time—a “snapshot” of your company’s security status at a given moment. But cybersecurity is not static; threats are constantly evolving, and what complies with regulations today may be vulnerable tomorrow.

Scud Security not only helps you comply with these regulations, but goes even further by offering continuous, real-time protection:

  • 24/7 Monitoring: While an audit assesses your security at a specific point in time, Scud continuously analyzes all network traffic, detecting threats in real time.
  • Vulnerability Detection: We identify weaknesses in your infrastructure and notify you before an audit flags them 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 on staff. Our analysts review alerts and guide you through the corrective actions needed to comply with standards.

Many customers use Scud not only to obtain certification, but also to ensure that their company maintains the required level of security at all times—not just on the day of the audit.

Outdated devices are a common entry point for cybercriminals. Printers, security cameras, routers, and obsolete equipment may have known vulnerabilities that hackers can easily exploit.

Scud Security protects you from this threat because:

  • It detects and identifies all devices connected to your network, even those your IT team might have overlooked.
  • It alerts you if a device has outdated firmware or known vulnerabilities.
  • Block suspicious connections to or from compromised devices.
  • It allows you to isolate unsafe devices so they cannot affect the rest of the network.

We’ve found vulnerable devices at large companies that would never have suspected they were at risk. With Scud, you can be sure that nothing goes unmonitored.

Passwords remain one of the biggest weaknesses in cybersecurity. Although complex passwords are recommended, many employees continue to use weak passwords or reuse the same password across multiple services.

Scud Security can help you check the strength of your passwords in several ways:

  • Conducting credential audits to check whether your passwords have been leaked in hacker databases.
  • Alerting you if we detect the use of default passwords on routers, printers, or IoT devices.
  • Identifying accounts with weak passwords or credentials that have been reused across multiple services.
  • Conducting controlled attacks (penetration testing) to simulate how a hacker might try to gain access to your company.

If your passwords aren’t strong enough, you’ll know before it’s too late.

Yes, and it’s more common than you might think. A single infected device can compromise the entire network in a matter of minutes, spreading malware to other computers or serving as a gateway for new attacks.

Scud Security quickly detects and blocks these types of threats 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 detect anomalous activity, we can isolate the compromised device to prevent the infection from spreading.
  • Behavioral Analysis: If a device begins to behave unusually—such as scanning the network for other vulnerable devices—it will trigger an automatic alert.
  • Malicious File Detection: Scud compares files circulating on your network against a database of hashes for known malware. If we detect a malicious file, an immediate alert is generated before it can run on other computers.

Early detection is key to preventing further damage. With Scud, any signs of infection will be identified and neutralized before they can affect your entire company.

Many executives believe that antivirus software is enough to protect a company, but the reality is that modern attacks go far beyond what antivirus software can detect.

Here are some key points that might help convince your boss:

  • Antivirus software only protects the computers on which 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 many different sources. Antivirus software cannot stop phishing attacks, unauthorized access, malicious network traffic, or internal data breaches.
  • Scud detects what antivirus software can’t. We monitor the entire network, analyze traffic for threats, and detect suspicious activity on any device—not just PCs.
  • Your IT team usually doesn’t have cybersecurity specialists. Most companies don’t have experts dedicated exclusively to security, and relying solely on antivirus software 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 software discovered, thanks to Scud, that their network had IoT devices infected with malware and that some of their employees were unwittingly connecting to servers operated by cybercrime groups.

If your boss wants proof, the best way is to install Scud and see what it detects within his own company. In less than a month, he’ll surely find vulnerabilities that the antivirus never reported.

Our Comprehensive Managed Cybersecurity Services

A comprehensive cybersecurity solution that provides real-time threat detection, analysis, and response, creating a secure environment for your business.

Features and Services

OT (Operational Technology)

We detect and monitor all types of devices, including OT devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), SCADA systems, and industrial sensors. Scud’s customers have their industrial control systems network secured in accordance with the protocol established by the MITRE ATT&CK® Matrix for ICS.

Honeypot

Scud can create honeypots as needed to gather more information and divert the attention of previously detected attackers. Our security analysts can configure them as needed to maintain security across the entire organization.

Asset Management and Discovery

Scud is a tool that simplifies compliance for your systems. We continuously detect all devices, users, and software operating on a network. Any new changes are easily reflected in the inventories, which must be kept up to date to comply with NIS2 regulations. We detect and monitor all types of devices, including OT devices such as distributed control systems (DCS), human-machine interfaces (HMI), and industrial control networks.

Post-Quantum Detection

Within a few hours of operation, our Scud solution will identify the devices in your organization’s inventory that will need to be replaced by December 2027, in accordance with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act.

Quantum-Resistant

All of our solutions are quantum-proof and use encryption that quantum technologies cannot break.

Incident Response Software

Our software acts as the central operating system for crisis management, consolidating telemetry data, automating forensic workflows, and coordinating defense actions with surgical precision.

Internet of Forgotten Things

This is our way of explaining that devices connected to the network years ago—which haven’t been updated and can’t be updated—are often the most common entry point for cybercriminals. Think about how many IP phone systems, printers, SCADA systems, or similar devices have been sitting in corners of your company for years, performing their functions efficiently but posing a risk to your company’s cybersecurity. SCUD detects them from day one.

SIEM

Scud offers a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution that is fully integrated with our entire technology stack. The SIEM platform communicates with our solution and allows you to view alerts within our SCUD software solution.

Wazuh

We use Wazuh as our SIEM solution, which also offers extended XDR capabilities. Since it is open source, we can customize the installation to focus on the areas that our analysts consider to be the highest-risk vectors based on each client’s network topology.

NDR

Scud’s NDR service is our advanced network-level threat detection and response system. Unlike conventional antivirus software, which only protects the devices on which it is installed, Scud’s NDR acts like an omnidirectional radar: it continuously monitors all traffic entering, leaving, and moving within your organization to identify malicious activity in real time.

XDR

Scud’s XDR service is our extended detection and response platform, designed to break down the silos of traditional security. XDR doesn’t just look at a single location; it automatically unifies, correlates, and analyzes data from multiple layers of security —networks (NDR), endpoints (EDR), email, OT, identities, and cloud environments—within the centralized Scud solution.

Managed Cybersecurity Through a Direct Channel

We basically take you off the internet and give you your own direct connection, secured by Scud’s services. Thanks to our agreements with telecommunications providers, we offer you a secure, direct connection. Forget about the costs of having an on-premises data center with access control, for example.

ENS High-Level CPD

Forget about setting up a data center that meets all the security requirements for ENS High or NIS 2 certification. Use our secure connection service to a data center that already meets those specifications.

Vulnerability Management

Using our own tools and third-party tools (Tenable, Rapid7, etc.), our team performs a continuous, automated process of scanning, detecting, and classifying security vulnerabilities across all your assets. We thoroughly analyze operating systems, applications, and networks (in both IT environments and OT/industrial devices), cross-referencing the information with global threat databases (CVE).

Scud’s value lies not just in providing you with an automated report; our team analyzes the results, prioritizes critical vulnerabilities based on the actual risk to your business, and provides you with a clear, step-by-step action plan to efficiently apply the necessary patches or mitigations.

OSINT

We offer comprehensive OSINT services covering a wide range of areas:

Credential Monitoring and Data Breaches: We monitor databases of stolen information and Trojan virus logs (stealer logs). If we detect that an employee’s or executive’s email address or password is exposed or for sale on the Dark Web, Scud’s system generates a real-time alert. This allows us to force an immediate change of credentials, blocking the entry vector before the attacker can use that legitimate access to infiltrate your network.

Ransomware Early Warning: We actively monitor leak sites operated by major ransomware groups and Initial Access Brokers (criminals who sell access to companies). If your organization is named or is being targeted, we’ll notify you immediately.

Brand Protection and Targeted Phishing: We track the creation of fake web domains that mimic yours (typosquatting) or fake social media profiles created to scam your customers or impersonate your executives (CEO fraud).

Information and Confidential Data Leaks (Data Loss Prevention / Data Exfiltration)

We look for mentions of your brand, confidential corporate documents, financial statements, patents, or source code that may have been accidentally leaked by employees or intentionally exposed by a third party.

24/7 Penetration Testing

The Scud platform constantly monitors your network and performs active penetration tests on a daily basis. This means you don’t need to hire additional penetration testing services because these tests are performed regularly and automatically.

You have ongoing cybersecurity audits that also make it easy to meet the requirements of standards such as ISO 27001 or ENS Alto.

Custom Brute Force

Since our platform has already identified usernames during its inventory process, it is capable of carrying out brute-force attacks tailored to each organization, detecting whether any members of the organization are using weak passwords.

Custom Blacklist by Firewall

Scud generates and maintains a dynamic, fully customized blacklist for your firewalls. Instead of relying solely on generic global databases, our system processes in real time the cyber intelligence collected by our own sensors, alerts from the Dark Web, and attack patterns detected in your industry. This way, your firewall automatically and immediately blocks traffic originating from malicious IP addresses, command-and-control (C2) servers, botnets, or active attackers before they even have a chance to scan or compromise your physical or industrial (OT/IT) infrastructure.

Made in Europe

We are proud to be a company that develops its platform and software in Europe. The cloud services we use and the data centers are European.
