Every day your inbox, voice-mailbox and social media feeds (a.k.a. "unfiltered research pages") fill up with adverts from cybersecurity companies trying to tell you that your organization may not have the best security posture, and that if you don't fix that soon, aliens from Saturn’s third moon are likely to attack.
To compound the problem, many of the claims in these targeted (or not-so-targeted) mailings may be true - or at least contain a nugget of truth.
Third-party consultants, resellers, Managed Security Service Providers… what does it take to be durable among so many other vendors in the cybersecurity space? Do you have to just be lucky? Do you have to find one magical product or service? What's the secret?
On this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston chats with Navilogic co-founder Bill Strub on the appeal of founding a new organization in the ever-crowding security industry space. They also take a look at the work Navilogic is doing with some exciting young companies you may not have heard much about, and why these different approaches work better for Navilogic’s customers.
