Who We Are.
We specialize in Cybersecurity Incident Response for Small Business.
99.7% of businesses in the U.S have less than 500 Employees and roughly 80% of ransomware attacks are directed at Small to Mid-Sized Businesses. But Digital Forensics & Incident Response Companies (DFIR) have traditionally been oriented towards Big Enterprise.
We started the Cybersecurity Emergency team to repurpose these enterprise tools, technologies, and skill sets to help the small to mid-sized businesses whose technology is makes up the majority of the U.S Economy.
Our lives are becoming increasingly digital, and so is cyber crime. The Cloud had Empowered Small and Mid-sized businesses to create applications, and now run increasingly complex networks and infrastructure.
