Don't Let Technology Discount Your Security

DANGERS IN THE TECH INDUSTRY

While the need for tech in the workplace has led to great efficiencies – and business opportunities – the growing value of user databases and cloud services has brought an upsurge in cyberattacks, particularly on those hosting them. Whether semiconductors, eCommerce, or software-as-a-service (SaaS), technology firms hold a rang of sensitive data types.

To make matters worse, the dynamic and fast pace culture of the technology industry often leaves security behind – and vulnerable to attack. Outer Orbit provides specialized penetration testing services to gain visibility into the tech your business utilizes. With decades of security experience in tech, finance, retail, and healthcare; you can be assured that our consultants will find vulnerabilities and define the steps necessary towards remediation.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Tech Industry Regulatory Compliance

Due to the range of information stored in the tech industry, compliance requirements can vary widely. Needs range from eCommerce companies requiring PCI-DSS to cloud providers offering a range of customer compliance requirements.

In many cases, ISO 27001 is a necessity to demonstrate proper controls to customers and investors.

 

Tech Industry Challenges

With large, sensitive databases and code repositories, the tech industry faces a number of security adversaries. But outside threats aren’t the only security concern to IT. Poor development practices, weak passwords, and network complexities all provide weaknesses to be exploited by attackers.

Even the largest tech giants aren’t immune to such issues – as shown with major breaches at Adobe, Apple, and Google.

Potential Impacts:

  • Service Downtime/Operational Impact
  • Customer Dissatisfaction
  • Increased Client Acquisition Costs
  • Negative Press/Public Relations Issues
  • Breach Lawsuits/Legal Fees
