In today’s interconnected world, cyber security is becoming a must-have for organizations of all sizes. Companies big and small need robust security solutions to protect them from ever increasing threats that are becoming more sophisticated and far reaching. With businesses using and exposed to a myriad of applications, networks, devices, and terminals, the threats of security breaches are growing in complexity and in opportunity.
Against this backdrop, cyber security firms are always developing new technologies, countermeasure and protection systems. Farhad Khalilnia, CEO of Penta explains “Given the complexity and the opportunity for cybercrime, a robust security management program must be able to mitigate IT risks, anticipate and respond to security incidents, and maintain compliance with rules and regulations. Failure in any of these areas will compromise effectiveness, usually with significant detrimental impact on bottom lines.”
In addition, and based on thorough audits and assessments, IT risk solution portfolios must now cover a comprehensive spectrum of services including governance, regulatory, and compliance requirements, and a host of complimentary services such as policy development, insurance support, training and awareness, monitoring and reporting. The key is to find the sweet spot of cost vs. benefit that matches organizational requirements to address real threat potentials. Products like Penta Sentinel aim to find this sweet spot.
Farhad added “Winning the war against cybercrime is no longer limited to big organizations, banks, and government authorities. Today’s SMEs are global concerns with complex supply chains, interconnected networks, and international clients. They need the same bank-standard security for their operations and to safeguard their reputation. The war will be won by those companies that can get the right support, at the right price, in a scalable manner, with an IT security firm that works as a partner in their business.”
