“Because of COVID, you can see that digital transformation has picked up pace however side by side we need to ensure to close the security gaps it brings along. Now, almost all organisations give priority for security. After the initial stage where organisations provided remote access to all its employees, now they are in the process of putting the right security in place. They have a better understanding today and are ready to invest in security now more than ever. We have seen a lot of increase in enquires for security solutions – goes to show the shift in market thinking!’ Menacherry talks about the shift that the pandemic bought about with regards to security issues.
“Security is a dynamic ever-changing field. Whatever we are addressing today, tomorrow something new will come up. Most of our vendors are adopting new technologies like machine learning or artificial intelligence etc. and coming up with better solutions. It’s a constantly changing environment to which we need to keep adapting regularly”, adds Menacherry.
“We see that in digital transformation, the cloud-based applications and web-based applications are increasing and hence vulnerabilities associated with it are also increasing. Email communication was prominent during the pandemic, and it brings along spams, malware spread, phishing attacks, ransomware etc. To counter all that, lot of our vendors are offering very good solutions. I believe the right action at the right time and with the right vendor can do wonders for an organisations security need and we at Bulwark aim at helping customers with the same”, concludes Menacherry.
