LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 2, 2022 / In the digital age, our privacy is always at risk. Every day, hackers and scammers are coming up with more complex ways to steal data and extort the owners. With so much of our important information kept online, finding a comprehensive digital security solution is now more important than ever before. Cybersecurity and digital forensics expert M. Michael Mitama believes that "If we do not practice cyber security as a way of life, our way of life will be infringed upon and our privacy will cease to exist."

The Growing Need for Digital Defense

Mitama is the founder and CEO of THETA432, an innovative cybersecurity firm based in the United States and Mexico. It offers 24/7 advanced cybersecurity services, from managed detection and response to strategic advisement. THETA 432 works with a wide range of clientele, from those in the pre-IPO stage to Fortune 500 companies. Since its inception in 2017, the company has already made a name for itself in the digital security industry, growing between 34 and 40% year over year. THETA432's mission goes beyond providing digital security and forensics; it's spreading awareness about the importance of cybersecurity in the modern age.

A new technological landscape breeds dangerous new security threats. Medical devices, such as the type of robotically assisted surgical devices developed by Intuitive Surgical, can be hacked or afflicted with ransomware, putting the safety of patients at extreme risk. Poor security practices in software or firmware for autonomous vehicles, such as those developed by Tesla, can cause death by motor vehicle collisions. Mitama reminds us that "Responsibility in all forms of defense, whether physical or cyber, saves lives. Therefore, it's important to protect yourself and your network."

The Scope of Cybersecurity

The THETA432 team believes that a wide scope is critical to the success of any digital security platform. This is why they've built their business around a comprehensive, four-pronged approach to cybersecurity: Advanced Virtual Attacks (AVA), Incident Response Investigation System (IRIS), Disaster Recovery Exchange (DRX), and Machined Intelligence Log Orchestration (MILO). The team knows that effective cybersecurity teams must fully understand the threat landscape, including the latest trends and techniques used by hackers, in order to design unique strategies and safeguards using proactive and reactive approaches to security. The company is "tool agnostic" because "experience and knowledge supersede a tool-centric approach." It has adopted a dynamic method of defense, based upon a thorough assessment of individual networks and prioritization of security needs.

Essential Lines of Defense

THETA432 believes that there are four primary areas of defense for the modern cybersecurity landscape, and it's designed specific solutions to handle each of them. First, digital defense training can test employees' awareness and identify areas of deficient security in a network. With AVA, THETA432 executes simulated attacks on a client's network and users to provide key insights and metrics that can help to prevent these attacks in the future. Then, it designs cyber defense playbooks and procedures based on a client's particular security stack grouping, limits, and sunk stagnation.

IRIS can alert companies to insidious activity occurring on their network, allowing them to quickly find and fix breaches in their security. Even with programs like Microsoft Office 365, intruders can still gain access to private emails or use a VPN to access the network. THETA432 believes that knowing how to prevent, protect against, and respond to situations like these is critical to a company's survival in the digital age.

Digital security breaches can cost critical time and money that would be better spent growing a business. MILO was designed to increase awareness and visibility with 24/7/365 remote, onsite, or hybrid monitoring, allowing clients to identify and lockdown potentially harmful users and applications. Clients are given a comprehensive view of their security stack, enabling them to tighten configurations for even more control and visibility, all while THETA432's team of cyber security specialists keeps a vigilant watch over their IT infrastructure. Mitama says that MILO was intended to "allow businesses to focus on their daily operations, free from distraction."

As a last line of defense, DRX provides a secure backup point for company data. All employee data is housed in its own vault to protect against encryption by ransomware. If a computer does become encrypted, THETA432 can recover lost data and restore the integrity of the system. The company has developed both onsite and remote forensic analysis services.

The Future of Cybersecurity

Mitama believes that as the threat landscape changes, our defenses will have to evolve in order to keep up. However, this perpetual battle is part of what makes the cybersecurity field so exciting and fulfilling. There will always be new challenges and dangers to conquer, but the THETA432 team believes they're up to the task.
