Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Securty Agency
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) defends critical infrastructure against threats.
As technology becomes increasingly more sophisticated, the demand for an experienced and qualified cyber workforce to protect our Nation’s networks and information systems has never been higher. CISA leads the national effort to make the cyberspace ecosystem safe and secure in the long-term by investing time, energy, and resources on prioritized strategic initiatives, advanced technologies and research, and dedicated planning.
The Center leverages the power of its robust global network of experts to serve the public by educating the most vulnerable about cyber risks, removing barriers and empowering access to enter and thrive in the cyber profession, and helping small organizations to protect themselves from cyber risks that threaten their very existence.
Given the cost of a security breach—losing your customers' trust and perhaps even defending yourself against a lawsuit—safeguarding personal information is just plain good business.
Rapid7
At Rapid7, we believe in simplifying the complex through shared visibility, analytics, and automation that unite your teams around challenges and successes of cybersecurity. What if security was an opportunity and not an obstacle? What if you could securely advance your business with clarity and confidence? Your security isn't hypothetical. It should be a reality for all organizations. That’s why we’re committed to helping you build security into the heart of your organization. Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive security platform, an assessment to better understand your security posture, or something in between, we’ve got your back.
Under-the-Hoodie: Sometimes, you get the hard stuff right, like reliable intrusion detection. And sometimes, you miss the little things, like you leave your laptop in an unlocked car. Things like that happen (like, that really happened). Misconfigurations, missing controls, human error: the ever-growing attack surface means you need to be confident in your security posture. Or you can hire a team to break into your network to put your defenses to the test. Since June 2019, our pen testers have performed 206 engagements. That’s 206 opportunities to study the art of pen testing. Or 206 real stories for us to animate into videos. Grab some popcorn. We’re retelling a few of our favorite escapades.
