The Necessity of Security

One of the biggest concerns today is security. Thousands of companies pay professionals like us to fix holes in their security or to update their security so holes can not be found or exploited. It isn’t easy to be a security professional in today’s climate. There are many hoops to jump through and a lot of training that has to be certified before a professional can set to work. Why? So, they can be sure who ever they work for will be in safe hands.

This training doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth it. Professionals world wide work tirelessly to keep the companies, individuals, and governments safe from crackers and hackers who seek to damage reputations or other nefarious deeds. It’s these professionals who toe the line to prevent these others, called black hats, who want to damage others for their own gain. 

Still confused? Imagine for a moment a bank. Everyone puts their money in or takes it out. They deposit checks or set up accounts. It’s basic business as usual. A hacker is like a robber who walks in not with guns but with smoke and mirrors. They turn security guards from an ally to someone who doesn’t even know what goes on. Some have been capable of essentially appearing at the vault taking everything in it and disappearing without a trace. 

It’s the Blue Hats who work to protect you from this situation. They can change it from customers losing faith in their bank to a feeling of security as they defend them on the virtual frontier. Having a good professional with integrity is essential to have in your corner. 

More and more we see companies, businesses, even governments hacked by unknown forces. Articles tell about how much was lost and how many were effected. It happens every day. This is why it is essential to secure up websites, credentials, and data.
