Industries We Serve

Patient health information security is top priority for organizations, and with good reason. Recent data shows that health care experiences twice the number of cyberattacks as any other industry.

Cyberattacks are on track to cost companies more than $6 billion per year as malicious actors target everything from intellectual property to product data and email accounts.

The digital payments industry now processes more than $4 billion worth of transactions each year in credit cards, e-transfers, online payments and gift cards. Cyber criminals are taking notice. Fraud is on the rise as attackers look for ways to infiltrate corporate networks and steal consumer payment data.

Payment Data Security

Mobile applications, web-based services and cloud resources are critical to meet client expectations and drive ROI.

Financial
Services

Now, nonprofit organizations that have historically been overlooked by hackers are viewed as lucrative opportunities.

Cyber Security For Nonprofit Organizations

Businesses are adopting the cloud, and it makes sense. Increasing need for on-demand access combined with evolving mobile and IoT deployments poses a significant challenge for on-site solutions.

Cloud-Based

Government agencies are increasingly under threat from malicious actors as the scale and complexity of federal, state and municipal IT services expands to meet the needs of digitally native citizens. For attackers, government networks represent tempting targets. Aging infrastructure often empowers undetected access to valuable user data which can be used for short-term gain or long-term compromise.

The energy and utilities sector is critical to the production and performance of both public organizations and private companies. This industry has been historically insular — Industrial Control System (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system were typically secured on internal networks with no outside-facing connectivity. Thanks to the evolution of industrial IoT devices and the need for always-connected monitoring and reporting tools, the energy sector has undergone significant changes over the past decade to boost accessibility and improve operational agility. The caveat? Malicious actors now recognize the potential in disrupting utility IT to wreak havoc, steal data or demand ransomware payouts. Just as energy companies have embraced the need for next-gen technologies to empower business success, they now must upgrade utility and energy cyber security to short-circuit IT attacks.

Cyber Security For Energy & Utilities

Startups are integral to American economic success, generating almost two million new jobs in 2018 and experiencing significant market growth as business owners tap new technologies to increase brand reach and impact. But keeping a small business in the black isn’t easy — 40% of startups fail before their fourth year and just over 50% make it through year five.

Industry 4.0 has arrived. Recent data shows that 90% of manufacturers view digital manufacturing tools and technologies as critical for improving productivity and profit — but many struggle to effectively adopt new solutions.

Manufacturing

Supply chain efficacy and complexity are increasing hand-in-hand. Even as digital tools improve inventory management and delivery tracking, executives point to concerns around visibility and fluctuating consumer demand.

Supply Chain

Post-secondary and public schools are increasingly under threat from cyber attacks. With school networks growing, mobile device use rising and always-on connections now the expectation, attack surfaces have expanded exponentially.

The media and entertainment industry is rapidly changing as users opt for online streaming services and on-demand viewing over traditional content consumption. Though as entertainment information technology evolves, companies often find themselves struggling to keep pace with legacy systems that simply weren’t designed to handle the volume, variety and velocity of this information at scale.

Media
And Entertainment

Digital data now defines the communications industry. From traditional telecom providers making the jump to technology-first deployments to cellular carriers and fiber optic network developers, data in transit is the currency of corporate success. It demands comprehensive cyber security to bolster consumer confidence and reduce overall risk.

Communications Cyber Security

Cyber security threats are on the rise. From increased cloud attack surfaces to targeted email compromises and fileless malware frameworks, companies face a continually shifting landscape that puts data, networks and users at risk.
