Digital transformation not only tasks companies with the obligation to increase efficiency. Nor is it about modernising. But rather, it is about envisioning new approaches to business and markets. And organisations that choose not to digitally transform will be left behind.
But the age of digital demands cyber resilience.
Business executives have become aware of the cost of not protecting. As a result, the demand for protection increased. The cybersecurity market needed to respond, with innovative solutions that would restore companies' trust in technology.
It is in this context that ISH Technology was voted market leader by ISG Provider Lens™ in 2 quadrants of the Cybersecurity Solutions and Services 2020 report.
The ISG Provider Lens™ Cyber Security - Solutions & Services - Brazil 2020 study assessed the strengths and competitive differentiators of 55 companies in the Brazilian cybersecurity market.
A customized version of this report can be obtained here.
The report understands that behind ISH's leadership in the digital security market also lie our highly skilled technical team, our proprietary intelligence base and our innovation lab, which have enabled ISH to solve more than 10,000 security incidents.
Today, our solutions protect more than 1 million assets. And for us, that's just the beginning.
The market vision
The explanation for the study's positive assessment is the innovative outlook that ISH has by investing in research and new technologies in creating modern data security solutions.
Among top corporate executives in Brazil, who are increasingly involved in cybersecurity decisions, concern about breaches and other vulnerabilities has grown. As a result, it was necessary to transform offerings and adapt to deliver the right solutions at the same speed as the market dynamism. There was innovation in areas such as SOC (Security Operations Center) and cloud security.
ISH's good performance was reflected in its hiring. From March until now, 77 people have been employed. And there are another 13 open positions. In addition, ISH is hiring specialised professionals around the world, expanding into countries such as New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Categories
The first category in which ISH was voted leader is Technical Security Services, which includes providers of integration, maintenance and support services for IT security solutions.
The second category is Managed Security Services, which comprises IT security infrastructure operations and management for one or more customers through a SOC. Services include security monitoring, behavioural analysis, unauthorised access detection, firewall operations, among others.
In addition, ISH is the only one in the Market Challenger quadrant in the Strategic Security Services category.
Why is this important?
Because it is the recognition of a 100% national capital company in the segments of cybersecurity, critical infrastructure and shielded clouds, demonstrated in an international study, which also considered companies such as IBM and Microsoft.
This shows that the Brazilian market is becoming a global reference in cyber security.
ISH Forces
The study pointed to ISH's robust technical capabilities as strengths. The company's experts include more than 100 engineers in the SOC with more than 500 certifications, including PMP, ITIL, CISSP and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator Certification (CHFI).
In addition, ISH Technology has delivered 2,000 projects over the past five years, adding 300 new projects each year.
Its integration framework includes the financing model, the implementation framework, security controls, tool integration and security governance.
The study also highlights the phased approach to large deployments created by ISH. This means that when undertaking large implementations in Brazil, deploying thousands of devices across so many branches, ISH needs to enable complex logistics. Another challenge is that customers require delivery in stages as legacy technology is decommissioned. ISH has developed a robust methodology, matured over the years, to provide secure delivery of SOCs while ensuring quality of service.
Finally, the exclusive offer of security as a service. ISH solutions are structured to allow the offering of Hardware and Software as services - IaaS and SaaS. This unique offering allows customers to accelerate digital transformation by reducing the need for investment in product acquisition.
