List of Top Information Security Solution & consulting Companies
Information security solutions offer world-class cybersecurity and cyber intelligence services and solutions that enable companies to detect and defend their critical network infrastructure against cyberthreats and to establish long-term network stability and resilience. In a fast booming digital realm, there occur frequent wars between the defenders and thieves of data and it is sarcastically described as a cat-and-mouse game. Immediately after a defensive action to one form of black-hat malicious behavior by the white hats, another malevolent form rears its ugly head. Therefore, the varying requirements in the data security landscape paved the need for more advanced and competitive solutions. Legacy security methods such as antivirus and firewall systems are facing several setbacks in confronting the newer threats in this regard. Therefore, information security solution providers in this arena are striving toward much advanced solutions to meet the requirements of the business realm. The major focus of the solution providers is to prevent the black-hats from accessing the assets either centralized or end devices of the entities which bear data. Several companies are occupied with advanced end-to-end encryption solutions and team collaboration measures to keep them safe from the cyber attack. Moreover, several solution providers are hitting the market with more competitive methods in the direction such as hardware authentication, user-behavioral analytics, data loss prevention, deep learning with the use of AI and machine learning. Such advancements in this regard can make a massive leap towards a secure workplace for the companies.

The war between data defenders and data thieves has been described as a cat-and-mouse game. As soon as the white hats counter one form of black-hat malicious behaviour, another malevolent form rears its ugly head. Ensuring data privacy became the main challenge for many organizations in 2019. While Europe was desperately getting ready for GDPR compliance, the rest of the world was deeply affected by data privacy scandals around Google and Facebook. In 2020 and beyond protection of data privacy and security will become a key target for the majority of organizations.
First, attention towards protecting personally identifiable information (PII) will lead to creation of new data security and privacy laws. Within the next five years, we should expect adoption of a national data privacy standard in the U.S., which would echo the GDPR. Organizations can get ready in advance by adopting security best practices like ongoing IT risk assessment, regular auditing, and ensuring profound visibility into data repositories and user activity.
General security best practices although will stay the same: Encrypt your data; grant access on a need-to-know basis; implement data recovery processes; be on the lookout for open or unprotected APIs; and streamline monitoring of your cloud infrastructure. To automate the execution of certain security operations and minimize human error risk, you will also have to consider AI and machine learning technologies.
In this edition, we have featured Specialized Security Services, Inc. (S3) on the cover page as they have been the champions in developing and maintaining custom-tailored cybersecurity programs. The edition also includes Nero Consulting which offers AI-powered cybersecurity services along with cybersecurity assessment services, incorporating firewalls, forensics, cloud security, open source tools, and compliance-regulations audits. We have chosen Sertainty Corporation and OMNISTRUCT. While the former offers a self-protecting data platform, developer tools, and utilities for application developers to embed an intelligence module into clients’ data files to produce self-aware data, the latter has delivers compliance services focused on ‘reasonable security’ and helps businesses on-board, maintain, and enforce information security programs based on the NIST cyber security framework. The company offers services that revolve around US guidelines and a measurable 10-point deliverable that addresses reasonable security and enforcement of these guidelines so cyber posture can be illustrated, improved, and defended. OMNISTRUCT has also developed a free NIST measurement app for small businesses, enabling them to measure and illustrate their cyber compliance posture. Additionally, the company emphasizes majorly on people and business processes with a roadmap to automate technology compliance measurements to knit privacy, risk, and cybersecurity together.
To stay safe in 2020, organizations are encouraged to employ basic security controls, understand and comply with any regulations they are subject to, and ensure to have visibility into the entire IT infrastructure and data.
