Focus on fixing cybersecurity issues: let automation do the observing

Realization of threats damage companies legally, reputationally, and financially, as we have seen from the news recently. By ETLA, two-thirds of cybersecurity companies in Finland are short-handed on skilled employees. It’s not just companies; both the public and private sectors struggle with the lack of professional security experts as well. Finland invests heavily in digitalization. However, a question arises that do these efforts sufficiently cover the increasing demand for cybersecurity expertise.

Finding and fixing cybersecurity problems is a slow and expensive process, especially when it is mainly carried out by humans. But why use existing human resources to find issues when they can be observed automatically? Arctic Security’s products collect, process and harmonize real-time data on security issues worldwide. Together with partners, Arctic Security provides services that allow organizations to automatically know about security issues affecting them. Companies can therefore concentrate on fixing the problems they get notified about.

The key today is to use human resources efficiently. It can save you a lot of time when you automatically receive information about threats that concern your systems. Cyber professionals’ most time-consuming work tasks usually include searching and monitoring potential threats and vulnerabilities as well as managing and analyzing them. When problems are automatically found and continuously reported to concerned companies, employees can focus on the most relevant work tasks: fixing them as soon as possible to minimize potential damage.

Cyber security experts are hard to find today. Many companies outsource their security management to mitigate this challenge, which, however, often leads to a loss of visibility to what happens in their network infrastructure. It is essential that all involved entities know the current situation and can act accordingly. We can help companies understand how to use their experts to stop threats before they harm organizations. On the other hand, the same information provided by Arctic Security services can also be used to validate that the observed threats have been properly dealt with and the recovery is complete. Arctic Security’s solutions enable all your relevant people to know when you have security issues, and what you need to do to fix them.
