Core Questions & Answers

What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR) and how does it differ from traditional antivirus?
Traditional antivirus relies on static file signatures to detect known malware. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an active, human-led service backed by 24/7 threat hunters. It monitors network telemetry, active directory behaviors, and zero-day memory exploits, actively containing intruders before lateral movement occurs.
Will penetration testing disrupt our live production systems or services?
No. Prior to initiating any offensive engagement, our certified ethical hackers establish strict Rules of Engagement (RoE). Testing is conducted with calibrated attack vectors, off-peak scheduling options, and continuous communication with your internal sysadmins to ensure 100% production uptime.
How does Pique Squid assist with Zimbabwe's Cyber & Data Protection Act (CDPA)?
We perform comprehensive data discovery, privacy impact assessments (PIAs), and technical security controls audits required by POTRAZ and regional regulatory bodies. We help you draft incident reporting frameworks, data encryption standards, and verifiable compliance records.
How quickly can Pique Squid respond to an active cyberattack or ransomware breach?
Our emergency incident response team maintains a guaranteed sub-15 minute triage SLA for retainer clients and immediate priority dispatch for non-retainer emergencies. Contact our Harare & Lusaka dispatch desk directly at +263 78 845 4122.
Can Pique Squid train our employees to recognize sophisticated phishing attacks?
Yes. Our Cybersecurity Awareness & Training program includes realistic spear-phishing simulations tailored to African corporate environments, gamified micro-learning modules, and executive coaching on wire fraud and business email compromise (BEC).
