Mobile Security Solutions
Mobile security solutions for a mobile world!
Today’s workplace is increasingly becoming “work from anywhere” enabled. Over 50% of business computing devices are mobile, and the increase in Internet of Things (IoT) devices poses new challenges to network security. Organizations need to secure the mobile workforce and incorporate enterprise mobile security solutions into their infrastructures that enable flexible delivery of apps, content, and resources across many different devices and platforms. Whether supporting bring-your-own-device (BYOD), choose-your-own-device (CYOD), or corporate-issued equipment / Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) environments, strategic options for mobile security threats and prevention are an essential concern.
A comprehensive mobile security solution requires a unified and multilayered approach. Organizations have deployed mobile device management (MDM) and mobile app management (MAM) solutions to support mobile users, but often mistakenly believe these management tools are sufficient to protect them from cyber threats. DGC’s mobile security experts will help you find the approach that best fits your organization and network.
DGC has expertise with many components that go into a mobile security solution, some of which include:
- Endpoint security
- Spyware
- Wi-Fi Sniffing
- Physical threats such as lost or stolen devices
Data Privacy Services
No organization can be secure without examination of their data privacy risks and compliance methods. We work with clients to examine data collections, recognize risk, and mitigate them before they impact operations. We implement privacy-by-design; provide policy and standard operating procedures development; risk analysis and management; data mapping and continuous monitoring; audit assistance; and privacy breach response.
DGC is an expert service provider in this realm, having worked closely with our government clients to overhaul their annual Personally Identifiable Information (PII) inventory, yielding more accurate data mapping and collections, and implementing fully integrated privacy breach response practices into Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CSIRT) processes to ensure accurate and timely reporting to US-CERT, key stakeholders, and affected individuals. These efforts have brought our clients into compliance with relevant laws governing transparency and notification.
In short, DGC helps our clients defend their networks, protect their people, and enhance their missions through robust privacy solutions.

Threat Hunting – Incident Response – SOC
Threat hunting is becoming increasingly important as organizations seek to stay ahead of the latest cyber threats and rapidly respond to any potential attacks.
Threat hunting is the practice of proactively searching for cyber threats that lurk in a network. It digs deep to find malicious actors that have slipped past your security defenses.
Threat hunting is more of an inside-out approach. The assumption is that the bad guys are already in your environment. Looking at what’s going on inside your environment, specifically anomalous behavior, can lead to discovering malicious activity.
Post-infiltration, an attacker can remain in a network for months as they steal data, look for confidential material, or obtain credentials that allow them to move laterally across the environment
Once an adversary is successful in evading detection and an attack has penetrated an organization’s defenses, many organizations lack the advanced detection capabilities needed to stop the advanced persistent threats from remaining in their network. That’s why threat hunting is an essential component of any defense strategy.
Our team of cyber security Threat Hunters provide:
- Ability to Reveal Unknown Attacks
- Proactively hunt threats and search for evidence to identify unknown attacks and minimize damage or business disruption
- Detect malicious activity within and across the cyber kill chain
- Find patterns, relationships, and indicators of compromise
Security & Privacy Training
DGC approaches security training as a foundational pillar of security versus a check-the-box requirement. DGC Security and Privacy Training provides a bulwark against the ever-rising tide of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) your business is subject to every day. Daily news stories illustrate the risks posed by phishing, malware, and ransomware to all businesses with a digital footprint. No one company or threat matrix is the same. An investment in employee training and security awareness signals to customers the commitment your business is making to their success and operational safety. DGC works closely with clients to identify risks and provides a custom solution tailored to suit your operating environment and budget. DGC provides policy recommendations, procedures, and industry best practices for your business to leverage. We create Security Training programs for your newly hired and tenured employees that complement annual refresher cybersecurity courses mandated by DoD and other agencies for the entire workforce.
Additional targeted programs to address unique client risks include:
- elevated privilege
- role-based
- emerging threat
- executive training for management
and are recommended based on the assessment of your business’s needs. Reports go beyond employee participation and allow management insight into areas that represent higher risks. Additional reinforcement and remedial training can also be developed to improve privacy protections and cybersecurity hygiene in use. This holistic approach to security provides performance improvements across all lines of business by reducing risks to your enterprise.
