BDO Digital, the technology advisory arm of BDO USA, today announced that it has adopted cybersecurity innovator OnDefend’s breach and attack simulation technology, BlindSPOT, to enhance its IT security service offerings.
BlindSPOT simulates real-world attack scenarios from both established and emerging cyber adversaries to identify vulnerabilities, test controls and improve incident response time to help mitigate cyber risks. With the addition of BlindSPOT, BDO’s clients will be able to better anticipate and prepare for evolving threats, identify security gaps and adapt defenses so they remain resilient in the face of changing attack landscapes.
“Our collaboration with OnDefend empowers BDO Digital to offer our clients real-time validation that enhances defenses against the dynamic and sophisticated nature of cyber threats,” said Ric Opal, BDO Digital Principal & National Leader of IT Solutions and Strategic Partnerships. “It also helps users navigate the complex interaction between artificial intelligence and risk management, furthering our dedication to offer the best-in-class, full-service cyber solutions to our clients. Together, we help our clients thrive through greater cyber awareness and resilience."
The new strategic relationship with OnDefend reinforces this commitment to helping clients mitigate cyber risks and strengthens BDO Digital’s Perpetual Defense cyber threat management solution, the companies said in a joint statement.
"We are proud to empower BDO Digital with our attack simulation tool BlindSPOT, providing organizations visibility into the effectiveness of their security controls and proving the value of these investments,” said Chris Freedman, Co-Founder of OnDefend. “It is no longer a question of if but when a company will face an attack. While organizations invest in technical security controls to prevent, protect, and prepare, we’ve found that security programs needed a way to validate those tools will work during those critical moments.”
