Vijilan Security’s Post

Transcript

Alright. Hey everybody, thanks for joining us. This is Jamie Williams here with Vigilant and I'm really excited to bring Troy Newman to the to the table today to talk a little bit about Cyber 5, his company. And then we also have Kevin Nejad joining us, so CEO of Vigilant. So with that I'm going to go ahead and let's start with Troy, maybe tell us a little bit about yourself in in about. Cyber 5 and And exactly what you do. All right, great. I get to go first, Kevin. Go right ahead, Troy. I love to learn because I know you that last time we spoke about Cyber Five, you were bundling all these exciting and advanced technologies AS11 solution. So love to hear more. Go right ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So look, my background is military Air Force, I'm now CISSP have been holding that for five years going on and security is definitely my passion and protecting our nation's assets and infrastructure. Treasure, all that stuff has been dear to my heart since I've been a youth. You know my dad was military and I went in the military and followed in that. So I'm very passionate about this and and keeping all these threat actors out from from crushing our small and medium business space. It's a really underserved community, right. And the enterprise, they've got big budgets and they get all the sea levels in there to support them. And our SMB's which are really the heart of our nation that that run this economy are kind of left behind and and so our charter is to really fill that gap. And again, so I'm trying Newman and I'm the CEO of Cyber 5. Uh, you'll hear Tammy Newman too. She's our President here who really runs all things compliance, right. So we, we were bringing a a complete package for cyber security that includes risk assessments and policy development, business continuity planning. We want to bring a holistic approach and then we've got the whole engineering side of it that's doing the tactical things right, all the the sock services, the monitoring. Um, the incident response and all that. So Cyber Five can really deliver an affordable package along with our partners. We really count on vigil and a lot. But we can bring a very cost effective solution into the SMB space. And also for MSP's, right? There's a lot of MP's out there. They're trying to develop, some are trying to develop this in house and it's hard to do. It's different. It's a whole new terminology, right? It's like you go to your General practitioner on a regular basis for your checkups, but when there's something wrong, you know you've got a joint problem or your hand, first thing you do is refer you out to a specialist. Really. That's where cybersecurity is too. It's a it's a whole new lingo. And requires a different talent. Absolutely. No, I'm I'm, I'm very glad that someone is taking the initiative to bring some of these technologies that were not available readily available to the the small to medium sized organizations. Like you said, enterprises that have a a you know, great budget, they have access to all these advanced technologies but unfortunately there's still getting breached from time to time and hear about it in the news, right. And when it comes into the SMP, you're right, like it is underserved, right, so. Now tell me a little bit about it because I know everything starts off with risk assessment and I love the way you go about it because just to get a better understanding of the environment to see what kind of technologies they have, what are they assets, what are the risk factors? And then from there, So what would, how would someone come in and basically get started with Cyber 5? Yeah, I mean the risk assessment is foundational, right. You you don't know what you need to protect until you discover all those assets, right? Where is the secret sauce? Where is the business goal that they they need to retain and not let some foreign nations steal from them and put their business out. So through the risk assessment process, we follow many different standards. The the basis for us is the NIST CSF, right. The cybersecurity framework was introduced in 2014. And coincidentally that is when we really broke out Cyber Five, we were full MSP prior to that. And in 2014 when the NIST, CSF released Cybersecurity Framework, we did a gap analysis internally on our on ourselves and then also on customers to see how well we fit with that. You've got your five pillars there, identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. So that's the platform and we're going to do a risk assessment for any organization against that platform if there's other regulatory compliance. A HIPAA or GDPR or any of those three letter soup acronyms out there. We do have the specialty in house to help navigate that space as well and make sure that they can fit their requirements.
