Niki Rabren, Executive Director for Cybersecurity & Professional Services Talks Cybersecurity
Interview with Safety Detectives Online Magazine
“Compromised Remote Desk Protocol access is a huge issue for IT teams. It’s often a common entry point for ransomware insertion or groups attempting data breaches within a system. But uneducated computer users who don’t think critically about the emails they open are still the biggest risk to our company’s and our customer’s data.”
Niki Rabren, Executive Director of Cybersecurity & Professional Services sat down with SecurityDetectives.com to talk about the cybersecurity services at Tier4 Group as well as the greatest risks she sees for Tier4 customers.
Here is a quick preview:
SD: How does your company stay ahead of the competition?
NR: Our main focus is to constantly listen to our clients and pay attention when they tell us about gaps in their current service providers or skills on their teams. For instance, our VAR program was born out of our clients’ stories about the “super resellers” they work with which have become somewhat transactional and lack key post-sale support. Our program is built on solutioning around each client’s unique needs and then continually organizing the vendors’ success around our client’s satisfaction.
SD: What are the worst cyberthreats out there today?
NR: Compromised Remote Desk Protocol access is a huge issue for IT teams. It’s often a common entry point for ransomware insertion or groups attempting data breaches within a system. But uneducated computer users who don’t think critically about the emails they open are still the biggest risk to our company’s and our customer’s data.
SD: How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect cybersecurity for the future?
NR: Remote working is here to stay which means all of the risks that go along with virtual working are here to stay as well. Cyber and business leaders are going to have to continually reinvent their strategies for maintaining a cyber-resilient workforce.
