White-Hat handles some of the most sophisticated attacks in the world for governmental, banking, insurance, aerospace and energy organizations. Their research-based incident response toolsets and methodologies rapidly bring an organization to a full understanding of what happened and how to contain, eradicate and recover—leaving them prepared to respond to the next attack. Services include Eye of the Enemy to optimize a company’s defensive strategy, incident response, threat hunting, global cyber intelligence, Security Operation Center (SOC), Advanced Persistance Threat (APT) and Penetration Test (PT).
There is a reason why cybersecurity startups are so valuable today. Hackers are not only motivated by money or politics. They often just like being malicious. So even small companies need to be on their guard and be sure to properly protect their systems.
