Introduction

There are more than 2,200 cyber attacks per day.¹ That equates to about one cyber attack every 39 seconds. The average organization takes 229 days to detect a breach, and by that time it’s often too late.² Cybersecurity solutions to date are not working. The tools being used and the way they’re employed aren’t stopping the attackers, leaving organizations in fire drill mode.

IT Security Solutions, Inc. is focused on the development of cybersecurity products for business and government organizations. We’ve built the ITS Safe™ security appliance: protecting, detecting, and responding at machine speed, much faster than traditional IT teams.

Cybersecurity is being used globally, but to what end when it doesn't work?

problem

The world saw an alarming 105% surge in ransomware cyberattacks in 2020.³ Business email compromise scams cost US companies a combined $1.8 billion in 2020, according to a March 2021 report from IC3, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.⁴ In 2021, data breach costs rose from USD 3.86 million to USD 4.24 million, the highest average total cost in the 17-year history of IBM’s Data Breach Report.⁵

These costly cyber threats are on the rise and traditional security technologies like firewalls, antivirus and intrusion detection systems (IDS) are no longer enough to protect your organization from ransomware and other advanced cyber threats.

These threats can sneak through undetected, infect your systems and hold your data hostage until you pay a ransom.

  • Firewalls & Virus scanners are not effective.
  • Cybersecurity tools are focused on known threats.

A COMPROMISED DEVICE WON'T LET YOU KNOW IT'S ALREADY #HACKED.

Once attackers compromise a device, they replace the software on the system to hide their activities from any discovery. We've determined how to identify the breach and added it to our ITS Safe security appliance. 

"Hackers don’t need to know how much is in your bank account to want to get into it. Your identity, your financial data, what’s in your email… it’s all valuable. And cyber criminals will cast as wide a net as possible to get to anyone they can. They’re counting on you thinking you’re not a target."

Solution

In business, data and people are your biggest assets. If data is compromised, unavailable, or placed in the wrong hands, your business can evaporate in a matter of minutes. At IT Security Solutions, Inc., we’re determined to not be a typical cyber security company.

We believe in simplifying the cyber security process by educating our clients and making them a part of the solution. We empower our clients to:

  • Protect customers and business assets
  • Implement actionable IT security compliance that includes supply chain management
  • Provide more visibility inside for unseen activities

We’ve built the ITS Safe™ security appliance.

Designed with advanced cyber threats in mind, ITS Safe security appliance provides real-time protection against ransomware, zero-day exploits, and other advanced cyber threats. It's one of the only security appliances that offers both prevention and detection/response capabilities in a single solution.

The ITS Safe security appliance sits inside the network to monitor all of the network activities, inbound and outbound, blocking malicious activities before they can complete their goal. This activity is needed because today’s security Tools (and assessments) only see the known threats. All the other activities are outside the view of current tools.

68% of business leaders said their cybersecurity risks are increasing.
