Canadian Cyber Security Firm CyberHunter Ramping Up
Canadian companies completely unprepared to combat cyber criminals. Too much energy spent trying to keep adversaries out...not enough energy spent trying to determine whether or not they are already in.
TORONTO, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CyberHunter Solutions, founded in 2016 by technology veteran Chris Dodunski, has had 2 great years of positive growth and is poised to have another best year business according to the founder and CEO. "Our move to our new central location in downtown Ottawa will allow us to expand our capabilities, grow our team and meet the ever-increasing needs of this industry."
"Cybercrime is growing at an exponential rate, and the tools, techniques, and procedures that cybercriminals use consistently outperform traditional methods of cyber defense. Furthermore, most organizations still treat the idea of a breach as an abstract concept and prefer to remain in a reactive mode, unable to keep pace," says Dodunski.
THE STATS
"In 2018, on average, our web-focused pen testers were able to exploit targeted applications over 87% of the time within their first 2 days of testing. Even worse, our Red Team pen testers had a 100% success rate using client-side operations to silently exploit every single tested network without being noticed (i.e. establishing a foothold, laterally moving about, and covertly exfiltrating sensitive data to a remote server). What we saw last year clearly demonstrated a serious lack of advanced detection and response capability."
Dodunski emphasizes that, "Companies tend to be relatively unprepared to combat or even identify advanced persistent threats. They continue to protect their sensitive information using traditional technologies that are just not up to today's task. The good news is that specialized cyber security companies can help. Proper cybersecurity doesn't have to be complicated, but it has to become a priority that starts right at the top."
