ToucanX: Towards An Integrated Approach to Cybersecurity

Top 10 Web Security Solution Companies - 2020

Keeping up with the threat landscape is a common pain point for many developer teams and C-level personnel. Even with a good overview of software asset inventory, the digitalization of companies requires modern and automated ways of working with security. The reason being companies today are moving more and more of their vital infrastructure online; and this makes them more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The failure to institute proper cybersecurity technology means that they risk exposing their organization to many different cyber threats.

Most businesses are aware that a spam filter and antivirus program are not all they need to protect themselves from the constantly evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats. Knowing just what a comprehensive security stance entails, however, is far less obvious. Comprehensive web security includes a full suite of tools to protect against malware infections, data breaches, and service disruptions. It protects the server, network, and email system. It includes advanced technologies like a web application firewall and involves proactive steps like vulnerability scanning.

Further, as the adoption of the Internet of things is growing. Security threats such as DDoS, ransomware can be used to steal critical data from both the individual and the organization. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in IoT infrastructure to execute the cyber-attacks. Clearly, vulnerabilities abound for both large and small businesses in a new age of cyber security threats. Understanding a hacker’s methodology can help mitigate the imminent threat of having data stolen. By staying ahead of the game when it comes to cyber security, companies can prevent the massive damage that results from large-scale data breaches. An effective approach to web security threats must, by definition, be proactive and defensive. Toward that end, this edition is aimed at sparking a security mindset, hopefully injecting the reader with a healthy dose of paranoia.

We present to you, the “Top 10 Web Security Solution Providers – 2020.”
