Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

So we use a complete third party.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

It's actually called Galactic Partners.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

Great company.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

And we use them to actually do regular penetration testing, which is...

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

More than vulnerability testing.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

A lot of just vulnerability is a pretty typical, simple thing that used to be OK.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

Now you have to actually use tools that try to penetrate the network to emulate things like ransomware attacks and do those kinds of things.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

So that's one of the tools that we use.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

I would say hundreds and we're seeing tons and tons of them, you know, and some bigger companies, some enterprise-ish type companies.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

We don't typically work with the Fortune 1000s.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

We're working with a lot of SMB, you know, so a lot of them are, you know, 250 employees, 500,000 employees.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

That's a lot.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

But yeah, and they're still fairly good size.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

And we have a few, you know, customers that are in the 100 employee range.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

But yeah, I would say that's where we start usually when we engage with the customers.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

We'd like, hey, let's run a penetration test first.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

And let's take a look and just see what gaps exist.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

And the report does a really good job.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

There's five levels of pen tests.

Digital Social Hour
Scott Alldridge: Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: The Key to Staying Safe | DSH #1513

We're actually just doing a one.
