Bespoke Cyber Awareness for High Net Worth Individuals

Bespoke Cyber Awareness for High Net Worth Individuals

What?
With Cyber Security incidents dominating the headlines,
the world has witnessed cybercrime become one of the
most lucrative illegal activities in the world. As hackers
develop increasingly sophisticated methods for
circumventing the security systems of major
international corporations, it has become clear just how
vulnerable the individual computer and smartphone
user is.
In response to this changing threat landscape, PGI has
developed a complete package which helps to create a
safer environment for conducting business, and more
specifically, individualised protection.
We believe that the greatest defence is a thorough
knowledge of the risk. Our bespoke package starts at
£12,900 (excluding VAT) and provides our clients with
an in-depth analysis of their exposure as well as sharing
the tools, techniques, and methods for mitigating the
risks effectively and sustainably through intensive
training lead by experienced cyber security
professionals.
The Cyber Awareness Package for HNWI
PGI’s Cyber Awareness package will include
two phases, firstly our intelligence and cyber
analysts will build a comprehensive picture
based on open source intelligence, and
secondly the cyber awareness course
will be built around this context to to
impart relevant knowledge
and mitigation solutions.

Who?
There is a growing trend amongst financial institutions
wherein they are beginning to offer safety training
services to their clients, to promote awareness of the
cyber risks they pose to their assets, both tangible and
intangible, on their smart devices and social media.
Rathbone Brothers, a Wealth Investment Management
Company, has a wide breadth of high-profile clients,
including those considered High Net Worth Individuals
(HNWI) and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWI).
This is a classification used by the financial services
industry to denote an individual or family with high net
worth; whilst these clients already benefit from
personalised services in investment management, estate
planning, and asset preservation, there is an increasing
demand to equip them with effective personalised cyber
protection.
PGI, an intelligence and security company at the
forefront of Cyber Security, has developed a bespoke
training and corresponding Online Hostile
Reconnaissance package to inform and protect
Rathbones’ HNWI and UHNWI clients against internal
perpetrators and cybercrime.
The package we offer is specially tailored to each
individual, includes a detailed Cyber Exposure
Intelligence Report, as well as individual Cyber
Awareness Training that spans one day, and informs
delegates on cyber-attacks that afflict high-profile
clients most.

How? – Phase One
PHASE ONE – Identify Risk and Exposure
The first indication that a data breach has occurred if
often the appearance of client specific data in the not-so
public domains.
PGI are leading providers of intelligence. We use open
source intelligence (OSINT) to provide companies,
governments and individuals with better information
and better analysis for, ultimately, better decisions.
Combined, PGI’s intelligence and cyber analysts offer a
range of specialised intelligence gathering and analysis
solutions. Our proprietary OSINT (Open Source
Intelligence) gathering systems are able to identify and
retrieve data from sources far beyond what’s visible to
readily available search and analysis tools.
As part of phase one of the Cyber Awareness package
PGI’s cyber and intelligence analysts will conduct Online
Hostile Reconnaissance (OHR) and assess Cyber
Vulnerabilities as they apply to each HNWI or UHNWI
client and produce a report which summarises their
exposure, to include:
• Social Media
• Business Transactions
• Press Reporting
• Personal Security Details
• Personal Location Information
• Pattern of Life
• Familiar Vulnerabilities
The report will also include example scenarios.
Online Hostile Reconnaissance
(OHR)
PGI’s OHR service is designed to position
individuals back in control of their online footprint
by highlighting their level of exposure to physical
and virtual assets apparent in open sources.
By using a combination of Intelligence and Cyber
Security resources, PGI will be able to establish a
comprehensive picture of how the public profile
of a HNWI may be at risk of exploitation. Our
intelligence analysts will approach the selected
profiles through the eyes of an adversary to
identify potential vulnerabilities.
Detecting Cyber Vulnerabilities
PGI cyber intelligence analysts will conduct a cyber-intelligence investigation that will scour the length
and depth of the open source internet. Once all the data has been gathered they will analyse and
produce a high quality report. This online reconnaissance is similar to what cyber criminals do in their
initial stage of an attack. All these details are available free of charge and all work is conducted legally.
The overall profiling is set against benchmarks of standards, identical to those used by default in UK
Government and Industry to establish where the gaps are in each area. This is then supported by a
series of remedial recommendations to bring the HNWI up to those standards including measures to
sustain their position.
From a Cyber threat intelligence perspective, PGI creates a profile for the client by using a variety of
tools, identifying external assets which may be in use by the Bank. PGI consultants then search both
the open internet, dark web and other covert sources for information relating to the company through
which threat actors may be looking to exploit the company and what attack vectors they may be
looking to use. This includes the Bank’s supply chain and client base.

How? – Phase Two
PHASE TWO – Understand and Mitigate
Phase Two will draw upon the intelligence reporting
conducted in Phase One to establish a focussed cyber
threat awareness module that will enable each HNWI or
UHNWI to fully appreciate the risks and how they apply
to them.
This immersive one day course will utilise relevant
scenarios and hands on techniques to demonstrate their
real-world consequences.
Delegates will learn and experience the methodologies
that an attacker will adopt to breach their personal
security and to expand access within a compromised
network.
Upon completion of this course the HNWI or UNHWI will
have a full appreciation of:
• Real world hacking events and consequences
• Exploitation techniques used by hackers
• How to protect and save assets through
effective mitigation
• Malware and what it can do
• Cyber defence operations
Our trainers are experts in their respective fields of
cyber security, and everyday practitioners (see bios
right). They will make every effort to ensure that each
course is specifically tailored to suit the individual’s
context and existing technical knowledge.
