Inno on Fire
Zyston was recently nominated for the 2020 NTX Inno on Fire Award. This award highlights the celebration of the individuals and companies across a variety of industries and stages that are heating up their respective ecosystem. Inno on fire is a reflection of the entire ecosystem, which includes startups, corporations, founders, executives, investors, entrepreneurship professors, mentors, civic and non-profit leaders and many more.
Zyston was nominated for the prestigious award due to their ability to rapidly adjust to the changing business environment. This year was a challenging time for many businesses but Zyston adapted and recognized an opportunity to put together a cybersecurity offering that was focused on “working from home“ which would protect businesses from falling victim to cyber criminals during this critical transition. Not only did Zyston grow revenues during this challenging period but more importantly Zyston helped secure businesses when they were most vulnerable. Zyston monthly revenue increased over 75% during the first six months of 2020.
While the world is focused on the health and economic threats posed by COVID-19, cybercriminals around the world have been capitalizing on this crisis. Zyston has worked tirelessly to provide protection to organizations from this spike in cyber threats due to Covid-19. In response, Zyston released a cybersecurity package to protect the information of those who have made the switch from working in an office to working from home. Zyston’s Work-From-Home solution provides a lightweight offering that monitors business-critical apps like Microsoft Office 365, VPN and Zoom to keep employees engaged and productive during the current pandemic. Which is very important considering the statistics saying that nearly 49% of businesses expect to experience a data or cyber breach in the coming months. In addition, the FBI also reported a 300% increase in reported cyber crimes.
Unlike many cybersecurity companies, Zyston provides a complete integrated security program offering that includes people, process, and technology. In particular, Zyston focuses its resources to deliver continuous, measurable, improvement in security preparedness that go beyond the alert while providing easy to understand business level security reporting. That’s why so many medium to large enterprises have begun to engage Zyston in their information security departments. Zyston has greatly aided many by protecting their information, making them the perfect nominee for the 2020 NTX Inno on Fire Award.
CEO of Zyston, Craig Stamm, brings in nearly two decades of leadership experience in the emerging technology and security industries to his role as President & CEO at Zyston where he is responsible for the development and implementation of the strategic direction of the company.
