The intern will research the following key topic areas:
Analysis of the market potential of key countries (identified by Service Care Solutions) and the key sectors/industries within these countries with respect to cyber-attacks, and so, the need for resilience. Highlighting key areas of initial potential and future growth areas. Focus on identifying appropriate target countries from the potential targets identified by SCG.
Identification and analysis of the attack profile within the geographical and sectoral areas identified in Section 1. This would provide a summary of the types of cyber-attacks that are most prevalent within the key cross-sectional areas. Running alongside this activity Richard Freye will look to identify and assess the most prevalent attacks and ascertain the level of risk aligned with this.
Focusing on the priority areas identified in Sections 1 and 2, a thorough review of the current market offerings will be conducted. This section will help to identify the nature of competitors, key gaps in competitor’s offerings, market opportunities, and potential areas for differentiation. This should also include understanding the deficiencies of SCC vis-à-vis competitors. This analysis needs to be able to inform the development of a cyber resilience report/audit for potential clients so insights during the analysis into this latter aspect will be critical.
- Service offering suggestions and areas of potential
Drawing on the findings of Sections 1-3 a series of initial recommendations would be made providing; (i) a priority target market matrix, cutting across geographical, sectoral, and attack profiles (ii) current gaps in the market and the opportunities for differentiation that exist, and (iii) insights in to the potential structure and focus of the cyber report/audit offering to potential clients, providing a baseline from which further collaborations would define the specific details.
