Strengthening the Cybersecurity Skills Gap in Southern California

For more than three decades, digital security company ESET has shielded organizations and governments worldwide from cyberthreats. “Threat intelligence services provide data feeds that allow cybersecurity teams to make informed decisions about potential risks and attacks, and to take the necessary measures to detect and respond to them, automatically or through further investigation.” ESET offers AI-powered solutions that are underpinned and strengthened by real-time threat intelligence, malware identification and detection, and incident response backed by researchers in 11 R&D centers around the world. “For smaller or mid-size companies, building a team may be challenging,” Anscombe noted, “which is why they are finding value in outsourcing and using managed detection and response services where experts monitor and manage customers on a 24/7 basis.” MDR can fill a huge gap here, providing companies of all sizes with specialized experts to manage more advanced cybersecurity operations and continuous monitoring for incoming alerts and potential threats. “ESET’s approach significantly reduces the risk of SMBs falling victim to ransomware attacks and other forms of security incidents, and can help them meet increasingly stringent cyber insurance and compliance regulations.” For larger, more sophisticated companies requiring more customized support, ESET MDR Ultimate provides complete cyber risk management, robust threat hunting, and world-class ESET expertise on call, available 24/7. Added Grant, “Our new North America headquarters in San Diego offers a collaborative environment for our channel partners, business customers, and local community partners to educate San Diegans on how to convene and tackle tomorrow’s greatest cybersecurity threats.” Based on the company’s unwavering commitment to Southern California, the San Diego Business Journal awarded ESET a 2024 Cybersecurity Stewardship Award for Cybersecurity Awareness in the private company category.
