UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT LANDSCAPE
As a leading company in the field of cybersecurity services, Smarttech247 understand the ever-expanding threat landscape and its implications for businesses and organisations, including the geopolitical tensions and the proliferation of cyber warfare threats, the explosion of data generation, the shortage of cybersecurity skills, and the increasing sophistication of cybercrime. Smarttech247 works closely with its clients to understand their dynamic risk exposure and through its platform VisionX, the organisation helps customers fortify their defences, ensuring their resilience in the face of potential attacks that could compromise their operations and compromise sensitive information. Raluca has huge plans for expansion and innovation within the industry, she says “With cyber threats becoming increasingly more sophisticated, innovation is critical to stay ahead and keep companies secure. It is important for us that organisations leverage their current technology stack to mitigate risks and strengthen their defences. Our MDR platform VisionX does just that. VisionX provides 24/7 coverage across attack surfaces to detect, investigate and stop threats before they impact your organisation.” VisionX is not just an MDR platform – VisionX has dynamic risk capabilities, cybersecurity validation features, and incident containment alongside a world-class incident response competency.
