Prevention is better than cure. Be ready and stay safe.
Cyber Defense Advisors is blazing a pioneering trail in the cyber assessment and technology improvement consulting industry. Generally, larger consulting firms work with international corporations while smaller consulting firms work with both large corporations and smaller organizations—usually closer to home—and specialize in broad requirements. Their focus is typically assessments and risk identification; unfortunately, these are often performed with the aim of winning follow-on work as a technology integrator. This often leads to targeted findings based on the firm’s service catalog and what they can do to support that catalog. Instead, we take a holistic and pragmatic approach to identifying and managing a company’s cyber-based risk, which we feel is a more comprehensive and logical overall approach.

Market Trends
Security is a process, not a single product.
Consulting firms structured like ours have a niche of providing assessments and consulting services with no agenda for integration. Instead, our aim is to provide long-lasting consulting services by augmenting a company’s decision-making process with a highly skilled and specialized consulting approach. The consulting industry is still recovering from the economic recession. It was hit hardest in 2009 when the industry shrank by 9.1%. However, as the economy recovers, the industry is showing signs of growth. A recent study stated that consulting is projected to grow by 5.1% per year for the next several years. Pair that with the ever-emerging cyber risks, continual breaches, and ransomware attacks, and you have one of the fastest growing needs in this industry.
Understanding Your Needs
Only 2% of companies have adequately funded Technology and Cybersecurity programs.
Understanding cybersecurity and protecting your company from risk can be a frustrating experience at times. Companies of all sizes are vulnerable to cyberattack. This attack could come through the company website, an email phishing campaign, a consumer interaction or credit card processing. A virus, hacker, lost laptop or stolen phone—any of these can expose your company to serious risk that can destroy your reputation and financial well-being, and potentially open you up to liability. Kaspersky says “one in five businesses has experienced data loss or exposure due to a cyberattack,” noting that the typical financial impact for SMBs is estimated at $86.5k per incident.
