In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, businesses face a multitude of threats that can compromise their operations, data, and reputation. To combat these threats effectively, organizations must adopt robust cybersecurity measures. Enter “Cyber as a Service” (CaaS), a comprehensive solution designed to provide businesses with the tools and expertise they need to protect themselves against cyber threats. In this blog post, we’ll explore the various aspects of Cyber as a Service, its benefits, and how it can help your organization stay secure in the digital age.
What is Cyber as a Service?
Cyber as a Service (CaaS) is a managed security service that offers a range of cybersecurity solutions to businesses on a subscription basis. This model allows organizations to outsource their cybersecurity needs to experts who can provide continuous monitoring, threat analysis, and remediation services. CaaS is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have the resources to maintain an in-house cybersecurity team.
The Components of Cyber as a Service
CaaS packages typically include a variety of services tailored to meet the specific needs of different organizations. These services can be categorized into three main plans: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each plan offers a set of core services, with additional features available at higher tiers.
Bronze Plan
The Bronze Plan is the entry-level offering, providing essential cybersecurity services to protect your organization from common threats. Key components of the Bronze Plan include:
- Vulnerability Scan: Automated tools are used to identify common security issues such as outdated software, missing patches, and configuration errors. The results are analyzed to prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity and potential impact.
- Vulnerability Assessment: A comprehensive review of your IT infrastructure, including systems, networks, and applications. This assessment identifies potential vulnerabilities through automated scanning, manual testing, and system configuration analysis.
Benefits of the Bronze Plan:
- Detailed findings and severity ratings of identified vulnerabilities.
- Impact assessment of potential threats to your IT infrastructure.
- Recommendations for remediation, including patching, configuration changes, and additional security measures.
Silver Plan
Building on the Bronze Plan, the Silver Plan includes additional services to address more sophisticated threats. Key components of the Silver Plan include:
- Dark Web Analysis: Continuous monitoring of the dark web for any information related to your organization, such as leaked credentials or discussions about potential cyber threats. This service helps identify if any sensitive information is being traded or sold on the dark web.
- Phishing Threat Analysis: Assessment of your email domain’s susceptibility to phishing attacks, identifying potential weaknesses and entry points.
Benefits of the Silver Plan:
- Comprehensive reports detailing findings from dark web and phishing threat analyses.
- Impact assessment of identified threats or exposures.
- Actionable recommendations for addressing discovered issues and enhancing security measures.
Gold Plan
The Gold Plan offers the most comprehensive cybersecurity protection, including all the services from the Bronze and Silver Plans, along with additional advanced features. Key components of the Gold Plan include:
- Social Engineering Threat Analysis: Evaluation of potential social engineering threats, assessing your organization’s susceptibility to manipulation and unauthorized access. This analysis examines communication channels and employee interactions to identify vulnerabilities.
- Web Application Threat Identification: Continuous monitoring of web application versions and server configurations to identify potential threats and security risks.
- Malware Threat Analysis: Comprehensive scanning for new malware, assessing potential threats to your organization. This service includes an in-depth analysis of your email server and antivirus/EDR solutions to identify their effectiveness and any weaknesses.
Benefits of the Gold Plan:
- Detailed findings and impact assessments of social engineering, web application, and malware threats.
- Short and actionable recommendations for addressing identified issues.
- Continuous monitoring and evaluation of your security posture to ensure ongoing protection.

All CaaS plans include access to the RTP Robin Platform, a user-friendly dashboard that provides actionable insights and facilitates requests. This platform allows you to seamlessly navigate your security landscape, request assessments, and gain valuable insights to fortify your online security effectively.
