Cybersecurity is a challenge these days. There’s not enough talent to go around for starters. Plus if you’re a company who wants to focus on your cybersecurity game, you might not see yourself as big enough to have resources such as a full time cybersecurity team, or having a CISO (chief information security officer) on your staff. Doing nothing to address that is a non-starter, which means that you have to have a partner that you can trust.
This is where RiskAware comes in. What’s unique about RiskAware is that they focus on people and processes. They among other things, can help you to provide that “virtual” CISO role so that enterprises have the leadership it needs to avoid being the next band news headline. It also provides training services so that the staff aren’t the gateway to a bad news day. Not to mention supplying the people to help to fight off cyber threats as those people are hard to come by these days due to “the great resignation” among other factors.
I spoke to Michael Castro yesterday about RiskAware, and three things that stood out to me after our discussion:
- First is that the people who work at RiskAware have been in the trenches for a very long time. Thus when a company engages RiskAware, they are getting people who know what needs to be done because they’ve been there, done that, and got the t-shirt.
- The reach of RiskAware is extensive. Not only do they have a pair of offices in Canada, they have another pair of offices in the US, along with another pair in the Caribbean. That reach is important because everyone likes to deal with someone locally. Plus it insulates RiskAware from initiatives that force companies to buy locally.
- Cost is the last thing that stood out to me. RiskAware puts itself in a place where its services are attainable by most businesses. Which is important because the more businesses have access to a company like RiskAware, the less likely that something bad will happen to them.
Based on my research, RiskAware seems to be in a unique place when it comes to cybersecurity vendors and service providers as they have a number of services under their umbrella that allows them to take unique approaches to keeping a company from being hit by a cyberattack. And the fact that they’re Canadian is a big plus. I’m going to be keeping an eye on this company as they can help businesses of all sizes make sure that their cybersecurity game is on point.
