What Makes DDS Different?
Listen first, then protect.
The only way to properly design a cybersecurity program is to understand the client's needs. Each program is different as each company is different. The world of cybersecurity is wide and deep, with more products and solutions than any company could ever hope to apply. Digital Defense Security cuts through the hype and confusion to provide security scoped right for the client.
Uniqueness.
Each company is unique and requires custom-tailored solutions. Digital Defense Security is not interested in selling security projects that are not needed. No more purchasing a security appliance and hoping that it does the job; we’d rather focus on what makes your company unique and build solutions that protect what defines you.
No more guesses, no more assumptions, and no more surprises.
Expertise.
DDS has extensive experience in a multitude of industries, including banking, government, military, insurance, operations, nutraceutical, and healthcare. Our experience working with companies ranges from the smallest start-ups to some of the largest U.S. Fortune 100/Global 500 operations. We’ve taught college cybersecurity courses, presented at national security conferences, conducted research, and published articles. All DDS employees maintain the CISSP certification as well as other industry-recognized security certifications.
