Does your organization have cyber security? How much importance do you place on this?

InfoSpec has a multi-layer approach to cyber security. We recommend it to anyone we consult with. What those layers are and how we employ them and/or sell them to clients is something I won't disclose here. Suffice it to say, if you aren't invested in a cyber security program today and don't work with your clients on the same, then you are inviting disaster for yourself and for them.

In today's world if you have internet access via computer, smart phone or Corporate Network you absolutely need to be concerned and invested in Cyber Security.  Crime Inc. is leaps and bounds ahead when it comes to technology and they are a multi billion dollar business.  You are correct that any response to questions will sound like legal advice - the solutions are not one size fits all.  Your offering should be tailored to the need and serve your clients needs to be protected.  Best wishes on a successful launch - it is needed!! 

Absolutely an imperative for any internet connected company.  We use perimeter firewalls, "honeypot traps" filtered content firewalls, and an aggressive approach to content management

the answer is: not enough focus on cyber security

Hi,

I agree with Mr. Dubrinov: security is something that is very important for every client. Interest in it by clients has risen tremendously, but I would be remiss if I published all of our tactics and plans. Suffice it to say, we have worked to develop the best relationships with vendors for business continuity and intrusion avoidance. We think we have compelling offers for mobile, virtual, and on-premise services.

Yes, we have cyber security. The downside risk is far too great not to have it.

Yes, We consider security to be of great importance. However the specific details of the various strategies we employ is not something I am going to discuss in an open forum.

Sincerely,

Ken

I think this is a very important topic; but, more importantly, "Do you have a disaster recovery plan?" A disaster recovery plan will cover issues involving weather, cyber insecurity (inside and out: ransomware), power outages, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, etc... .
Ever vigilant: know your baseline, know what will keep you running if everything goes down and how to get back up and running as soon as possible: have a plan!
I think you will do very well with this idea for cyber security but like most things make sure they know the entire picture not just the cyber side.

Definitely. Network Security and Business Continuity are must for any company size. 

Couple thoughts come to mind. I'm assuming that you'll be targeting small businesses. They need to know that about half of all cyber attacks are against companies identified as small businesses. I think large companies probably have their own cyber security resources.

I suggest thinking about starting with a free cyber security webinar. You can explain the security issues companies need to address, the process of coming up with a strategy, etc. Then, you could work with interested individuals to create the tailored road map as a paid engagement.

I'm thinking that if small businesses knew how to do cyber security, they'd have done it by now. I'm not sure they'd want to pay to come up with a plan that they may not believe they'd be able to implement.

And, if you're looking for attendees who don't know you, will they want to spend money when they're not sure you know what you're talking about? And, how long is the workshop? Will it take more time than a small business person wants to spend?

Hopefully some small business owners will respond to your question asking for feedback on the idea of offering the workshop. That's what you really need is a bit of real market research. If you don't get any feedback here, I encourage you to find other ways to reach out.

Hope this helps.
