The world of cyber is constantly changing. Hackers are finding more backdoors to get into the victims’ environments, from medical equipment to your kids’ favorite computer games.
New advanced AI tools help hackers develop new sophisticated malware every day while the cybersecurity field is experiencing a shortage of talent.

- Vulnerability – continuous evaluation of your infrastructure
- NextGen SIEM or MXDR – if you can’t correlate your entire stack, you will miss something
- Identity – password-less is coming. Are you ready?
- Email- can you remove this as a threat? Cloud computing will help
- NextGen Firewalls
- Zero Trust Remote Access – explicit permissions vs. open access
- Network Detection and Response – east-west visibility for on-prem security concerns
