About Us

In today’s ever-evolving business climate, connectivity is essential to successful commerce. Consumers demand omnichannel access to goods and services. Businesses seek the competitive advantage that linked platforms and instantaneous data retrieval provide. And employees are increasingly accessing sensitive company information on their personal devices.

While online commerce and cloud-based information exchange are omnipresent, so too are the threats of business interruption, data insecurity, privacy concerns, and systems degradation. In fact, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, U.S. cybercrime costs topped $4.2 billion in 2020. Cybersecurity has moved beyond simply an economic concern: it’s been called the number one threat America faces by the Director of National Intelligence.
