Custom Software

All organizations have the same goals - to increase revenue, improve efficiency, lower overhead, and ensure compliance with regulatory agencies.

Or, worse yet, if you're not using technology at all! Custom software applications can help every aspect of your business to achieve a quantifiable competitive advantage in the fast-moving business world.

Cybersecurity

With the growing threat of hackers and ransomware, as well as the high cost of dealing with recovering from an attack, it's no longer enough to setup firewalls and keep your servers patched. Now, you need to actively test your security through penetration testing. Tom can help examine all aspects of your organizations physical and network security to ensure your data - and the data of your customers - is safe. Our staff has numerous cybersecurity certifications.

Tom is proficient with a variety of tools such as Kali Linux, Maltego, nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, BeEF, Burpsuite, HashCat, John the Ripper, and AirCrack. These tools allow us to gauge the security of your network through actively attempting to break in. Armed with the knowledge of the weaknesses revealed by our testing, Tom can help you harden your servers to limit the ability of hackers to access your data.

Whether you are subject to HIPPA, PCI DSS, or just trying to protect your customer's PII, penetration testing should be an integral part of your current security posture.
