Are you experts in cybersecurity technology?
Starting with our founder’s degree in computer engineering and cybersecurity credentials, technology is at the core of what we do. Cybersecurity is a very broad area; no one person knows it all. We work well with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to make sure all your bases are covered.
Most cybersecurity technology gurus put a lot of effort into selecting and configuring the optimal tools. In this they are like diamond cutters who carefully hone their craft. However, by itself, even a perfectly cut diamond isn’t worn to a party.
To be used at all, even in a simple tie tack or stud earring, a diamond needs a setting. The setting is usually made of a metal like gold. However the craft, the tools and the medium of the goldsmith are very different. Gold is soft and fluid when it is shaped; in that way it is similar to the people and processes that are also essential to a successful business change. As Roger Enrico, the Vice Chairman of Pepsico said: “The soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff.”
Neither diamond cutters nor goldsmiths, SecuriThink practitioners are like jewelers. We have a solid understanding of the crafts of both the diamond cutters and goldsmiths without being SMEs exclusively in either area. We take a carefully configured technology and fit it to a well prepared business setting, creating a high performing solution that gets the best leverage in your unique organization.

How does SecuriThink relate to the maturity scale for cybersecurity?
While various cybersecurity maturity scales do not map directly to the 5 levels of results in SecuriThink methodology, there is a lot of common ground at the highest levels of both.
Why does a SecuriThink project always begin with an assessment?
Our clients engage us to get from one place to another so we might think of an example as “We’re in Chicago and we want you to help us get to San Francisco.” What we’ve learned is that someone who says they’re in Chicago might actually be in St. Louis or maybe even Miami.
How does SecuriThink relate to Security Education and Awareness (SEA) efforts?
SEA is a subset of a SecuriThink engagement strategy. We work in cooperation with existing efforts and leverage them to the fullest extent possible.
