As our colleagues often say: cybersecurity is like playing with LEGO bricks – you need to assemble systems block by block, which is both enjoyable and labor-intensive. It's no longer just about firewalls or antivirus software; countless dangers lurk in various areas, threatening both individuals and businesses.
We maintain relationships with approximately 35-40 manufacturers. When an unknown manufacturer or solution appears on our radar, our engineers investigate it first to ensure quality. We don't compromise on quality because we don't just shuffle boxes and licenses; we operate the systems we design, deliver, and implement. Poor-quality solutions result in poor systems, leading to problematic and costly operations. We don't like problematic and costly operations, and our clients agree with us on this.
Cybersecurity is like insurance: it seems like an unnecessary expense until a serious incident occurs – then, in retrospect, prevention always seems like the better idea, especially when considering the significant financial or PR damage that can occur.
The appearance of the NIS2 directive highlighted the need for continuous cybersecurity improvement in companies and industries that may not have previously focused on it.
We assert that whether a company falls under the scope of NIS2 or not, in 2024, cybersecurity is not a distant, inscrutable, and unaffordable privilege of large corporations. It's a matter of survival, regardless of company size or operational area. As cybercriminals employ increasingly sophisticated methods, we can expect more solutions in defense. And although there's no hundred percent security, any small step forward is better than standing still.
In the coming weeks, we will detail which solution we recommend to our clients for each challenge. As a teaser, here's a list of our favorite manufacturers, arranged according to the CIS (Center for Internet Security) control points*:
