Brief about this service
Cybersecurity policy and risk management consulting builds a strong and organized foundation for your organization's digital security, moving you from a state of uncertainty to full confidence that everything is under control. True security doesn't just start with technology, but also with the rules that govern it.
Service Details
In today’s digital world, cybersecurity is not just a technical issue — it's a strategic imperative. More than 60% of companies hit by major cyber incidents fail to fully recover within the following year , and many more suffer long-term reputational damage, operational disruptions, or regulatory penalties.
At IBS Consulting , we help organizations move from reactive crisis handling to proactive risk management , building a strong foundation for cyber resilience, compliance, and business continuity .
Our Cybersecurity Policy & Technical Risk Management Service ensures your company doesn’t wait for an incident to discover its readiness — but instead builds a culture of preparedness that turns risks into managed opportunities.
A Real-Life Lesson: The Cost of Inaction
Colonial Pipeline Ransomware Attack – One of the Most Disruptive Cyber Incidents in U.S. History
On May 7, 2021, Colonial Pipeline — one of the largest fuel pipeline operators in the United States — was hit by a ransomware attack that began with a single compromised password.
Attackers gained access to internal systems, encrypted billing and monitoring data, and demanded a ransom in exchange for decryption keys.
The Impact Was Massive:
- Full shutdown of operations — the first in the company’s 57-year history
- Immediate payment of a $4.4 million ransom within hours
- Fuel supply crisis across the eastern seaboard, causing panic buying
- Gas prices spiked to their highest since 2014
- 17 states and Washington D.C. declared emergency status
- Estimated economic losses exceeded $1 billion
- Post-attack remediation cost over $200 million
The lesson is clear:
If you don’t proactively manage your cybersecurity risks, someone else will — and at a much higher cost.
