Cyber Security conversation with Brad Stoller and Albert Whale

Many organizations are overwhelmed with today’s efforts to secure the organization.  Whether they are a small to mid-sized business, or a global organization.  Today in the US we are short more than 3.5 Million experienced Cyber Security professionals.

If we think of a Computer Virus as something similar to a virus that you can catch (like the flu), how effective are the tools you are using currently?  The typical organization using both Firewalls and Virus Scanners, has less than a 40% chance of discovering the infection.

The premise of the Virus Scanner is a reactive tool which is attempting to discover the initial infection, after the breach has already occurred.  These tools are used as a reactionary tool, and are less than 40% effective.  

The ITS Safe^TM security appliance works differently, because we are reviewing the traffic BEFORE it reaches the end point destination.  That makes our ITS Safe^TM appliance a differentiator, because we are being proactive, and stopping the malicious attacks before they reach your computing environment.

IT Security Solutions, Inc. is a cyber security organization which wants to improve and protect your organization with the latest tools and services for improving your organization’s security.  The first question we want to ask you, when was your last security assessment?  How often do you have an assessment performed?  Would you consider that Constant monitoring could benefit your organization?

Today we are discussing the concept of change.  The title of the episode is called: “The pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of change.”  Most organizations fail to recognize that change is a process that makes improvements to the organization, instead of ignoring the problems and continuing to do the same things over and over again.  There is pending legislation that wants to fine or Jail CEOs that fail to do enough to protect the organization, and the data that they are using.
