Safeguarding digital security is a profession The digitalisation of our society is ongoing and moving forward fast. This increased pace of digitalisation, combined with the rise of new technologies, also adds to the increase of digital security risks. Cybercrime is on the rise, and legislation is globally intensified. Identifying and mitigating those digital security risks is progressively more complex. New security incidents are reported in the media each day, such as data breaches and hacks. The costs to organisations to deal with these incidents continue to increase. Many organisations remain predominately passive concerning their digital security risks, and mainly react to situations that can and will go wrong, instead of taking proactive action. Some organisations even continue to remain passive until their names are found in the most recent news headlines as the latest victims of a digital security breach. We believe that this can and should be done differently. The right attitude starts with realising that digital security is of vital importance, and that current knowledge and capacity levels in most organisations are insufficient to adequately cover digital security risks. Hackers are constantly innovating, technology is becoming increasingly more complex and legislation is getting more privacy focused. Risks are increasing and ever present and organisations are mostly one step behind. We have a highly dedicated and knowledgeable team ready to identify, reduce and prevent digital security risks, in a structural manner and on a continuous basis. Our consultants use the latest investigative techniques, with a strong focus on IT security. We review and assess your IT environment, after which you can implement proposed measures to prevent future incidents.
