PODCAST: The Importance Of Having A Robust & Dynamic Intelligent Feed For Cyber

95% of U.S. businesses are getting no cyber intelligence and no cyber threat support. And that's when I developed with my team the REDXRAY product, which targeted the Small & Medium Size Businesses (SMB) markets. It had to be at a price point that they could afford, but it's more to the 'M' instead of the 'S' because too many small businesses don't have any resources or employees to help them with their cyber threats. And they are the customers of the MSPs and the MSSPs. But if you get into the medium market, you have a cyber information security department with trained people who know what to do with the data we're providing. Our REDXRAY service offers ten data sets. If you get a hit in one of those sets, someone needs to look into it and say, oh, this is no big deal, or; It's a Pastebin mention, or we have a keylogger account, or we found your customer database for sale on the dark web. And so, it just depends on the client's skill level and how we can best serve them. To learn more, follow this link to the full PODCAST
