Opportunity Cost (for Cyber Security). Potential benefits that an individual, investor, or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. The opportunity cost of a small business not employing proper cybersecurity is monetary. The opportunity cost of a large business not employing proper cybersecurity is reputation. Can a business in this century afford to be unprotected in this era of cyber criminality? You might think that cyber security is for the big players. You might hope that your organisation won’t be attacked. You might wonder if your login is secure. You might know that your employees aren’t trained well enough in cyber mitigation strategies.
Here are Five Israeli Cyber Security companies every (Australian) CISO needs to know.
Armis

Armis protects businesses from unmanaged, compromised, or rogue devices and networks. Using an agent-less approach, Armis discovers, monitors, and provides visibility to all devices before they connect with the network, including outside connections from corporate assets.

Israel is not by chance a world-leader in creating cyber security companies. Israel noted the opportunity and balanced the costs involved with training their soldiers three decades ago in counteracting any threats. Now these soldiers take their skills and help enterprises realise their challenges. Harness Israel’s knowledge and experience. Your organisation will be safer because of your choice. Australians will be safer because their data will be secured.
