Ethical Hacking—what is it? And how does it address certain needs of the present?

With increasing use of the internet and its security concerns, especially when it comes to consumer information or private details, there is considerable need for experts to work in the ethical hacking field. Organizations today recognize the strong need for information security; hence an Ethical Hacker or Cyber Security Expert is usually employed by companies to penetrate into networks and/or computer systems, using the same methods as a hacker, for the purpose of finding and fixing network and computer security vulnerabilities.

What are the challenges that your startup has faced and how were you able to overcome these challenges?

The primary challenge that we have faced is on the pricing of our services. Whilst there is a need arising amongst organizations due to increasing vulnerabilities and growing crimes, security budget is still not part of the overall IT spending of many organizations. Organizations need to consider Infosec or Information Security as an investment and not as an expenditure because security breaches could lead to financial and reputational damages and also may have legal and regulatory implications. We are doing an educational campaign by providing complimentary seminars to create more awareness and that has seen some pay-off.

you plan to scale Pristine InfoSolutions to the GCC?

We are working on a few large projects on the IT security services with corporates and educational institutes in Bahrain. We are targeting government and law enforcement, as our forte with strong InfoSec Training (User level and Advanced Training) and cyber crime investigation capabilities that stands out amongst the competition. The differentiator is our product range that provides a one-stop solution. We are delivering talks in ICT exhibitions as well as cyber security conferences for networking and will be focusing on online marketing initiatives in the region. We believe scaling up primarily through training in the GCC as this finds quick acceptability amongst clients.
