What we're hearing
With new business advancements and innovations, new cybersecurity threats are born. However, many companies under invest in security until it's too late, leaving them vulnerable to threats from bad actors and lacking the cybersecurity talent to respond and prevent future attacks.
91% of organizations surveyed had at least one significant cyber incident or breach¹
Cybersecurity threats are rising in number and sophistication
Organizations are struggling to keep up
79% of US and global organizations identify as having low to moderate cyber maturity¹
The talent shortage is real
3.5M unfilled cyber jobs through 2025²
1 Deloitte, “2023 Global Future of Cyber Survey”
2 Cyber Security Ventures, “2023 Official Cybersecurity Jobs Report”
Patchwork of tools
from different vendors
Manual processes and lack of insight into trending attacks
Limited visibility into security threats
Talent is in short supply
Stakeholders expect cyber resilience
Increasing number of threats
and their complexity
Do these challenges sound familiar?
Maintaining business viability even during an attack is a requirement for regulators and helps to retain customer trust. The longer it takes to recover key business operations can also mean
a higher cost of recovery.
This makes it harder to predict and prevent potential threats and can lead to slower detection of cyber threats, particularly if your team is busy
chasing false positives.
ConvergeSECURITY’s access to
extended threat detection and response, predictive insights, knowledgeable resources, and resiliency plans allows you to rapidly and efficiently respond to incidents, maintain minimum business viability, and minimize the impact on your business and reputation.
ConvergeSECURITY operates your
cloud security posture via a combination of automated tooling and skilled security specialists. Continuous monitoring aggregates resource logs to analyze and triage security events.
ConvergeSECURITY brings one-stop access to the full range of market-leading technologies that are configured, trained, and ready to learn from the data they’re seeing. Integrating everything under one service reduces complexity, supports cost efficiencies, and delivers
desired business outcomes.
Selecting the right tools is difficult, and then you need the right resources to fully manage all your vulnerabilities.
Cyber predictive analytics leverage models trained on attack simulations and real-world data to quickly comb through petabytes of data, surfacing threats that might otherwise be missed. AI/ML analyzes more data, faster, and allows you to gain access to insights across industries.
Combined with a complex digital estate, this makes response orchestration
and proactive threat management tough to implement.
ConvergeSECURITY is grounded in proven processes to counter even the most sophisticated threats. It’s a fully integrated solution that leverages advanced, proprietary, and automated processes and playbooks.
Emerging technologies and greater interconnectedness mean more data, network, and attack surfaces
to protect.
ConvergeSECURITY provides experienced cybersecurity engineers to solve for under-resourced and overburdened internal teams. Our teams bring an in-depth understanding of and a strong delivery record across a range of industries. Built-in automation also keeps your talent focused on the things that matter.
There aren’t enough cyber specialists to help you secure the cloud, and those that you do have may lack the real-time incident experience you need.
Meet ConvergeSECURITY
AWS and Deloitte have come together to provide an end-to-end cybersecurity solution to accelerate your secure cloud transformation: ConvergeSECURITY.
It brings the flexibility, scalability, and cost benefits of a cloud-enabled IT infrastructure, while having a complete, integrated, and cohesive set of cybersecurity
services built in.
The ConvergeSECURITY services suite:
Provides 24/7 security protection and monitoring of essential resources.
Delivers actionable security threat intelligence across your organization’s digital estate.
Leverages a combination of AI-enabled cloud security and compliance product solutions, consulting expertise, and tailored resources.
Gives you the visibility, confidence, and capabilities your organization needs to effectively manage, detect, respond, and recover from sophisticated cyber threats.
AWS services, including Security Lake and S3, that are integrated by Deloitte in the Cyber Analytics and AI Engine solve the siloed data challenge across your digital estate. ConvergeSECURITY also delivers data aggregation and out-of-the-box data integration of security products, helping you unlock the power of your security data.
Deloitte and AWS collaborated on our Cyber Analytics and AI Engine to deliver insights that reduce risk and enable automation to accelerate prevention, detection, response, and recovery. Underlying AWS infrastructure powers AI/ML models we’ve developed to help predict ransomware campaigns, look for lateral movement, find Zero Day threats, and identify anomalies before they become bigger issues.
An integrated security approach allows threat detection analytics to be fed by high quality, shared multi-lateral data. When more data is contributed, the effectiveness of analytics and machine learning increases, generating more accurate threat detection to anticipate and prevent attacks.
You’re better able to safeguard data, systems, and reputation when you have response and resiliency plans prepared before a cybersecurity incident occurs. This includes being able to recover mission-critical business functions from cloud back-ups if a breach happens, so you can restore capabilities and services.

Avoid the risk of attackers getting into your systems and identify them if they do. This includes:
Managed extended detection and response Analytics and AI engines Threat monitoring Prioritized alerting Threat hunting
Take action when a potential threat is identified or a cyberattack is confirmed. This includes:
Incident response Response governance and communication Response planning Playbook development
Minimize downtime through an orchestrated response that incorporates:
Cyber resiliency Data back-up Electronic vaulting Ransomware preparedness Compute and storage on demand Root cause analysis
Next steps
It’s not a matter of if you get attacked—it’s when. Breaching organizations and demanding ransom payments is a business for bad actors. They’re creative and strategic when it comes to finding a way in, leveraging a variety of channels and tactics.
The best thing you can do is set up your defenses and put a response plan in place now.
Because once an attacker has access to your system, the quicker you can find them, the sooner you can stop the damage they're going to do and begin the recovery process.
