It is difficult to quantify the exact level of vulnerability of any specific country or industry to cyber attacks, as this can vary based on a number of factors, such as the country’s cybersecurity infrastructure, the level of awareness and preparedness of its citizens and organizations, and the sophistication of the attackers.
Business organizations need to be vigilant and proactive in protecting themselves against cyber threats that may include malware, phishing attacks, and other forms of cybercrime. It is important for businesses to implement strong cybersecurity measures and to educate their people about how to protect themselves online in order to minimize the risk of cyber attacks.
As part of Filipino cybersecurity startup Armada Innovation Labs‘ mission is to educate businesses that traditional firewalls and other solutions are not enough and that testing and understanding vulnerabilities and potential breaches are a priority to truly protect company assets.
The cybersecurity company offers web application penetration testing, bug bounty enablement, and web application firewall solutions with the promise of knowledge transfer and training as part of its services.
Cybersecurity helps to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and systems, and can help prevent financial losses, legal liabilities, and reputational damage. In the Philippines, where many people rely on the internet for business, communication, and access to information, it is especially important to have strong cybersecurity measures in place to protect against these types of threats.
“If a company offers you penetration testing services, ask how much bug bounty (rewards) they have earned. If they tell you none, walk away. Armada Innovation Labs’ value propositions are the highest level of qualification and technical expertise, and our processes. The most effective way of securing your applications and assets is knowing both the offense and the defense, and (having) someone sitting in the middle that connects both (offense and defense),” according to Dean Armada, Founder and Chief Architect of Armada Innovation Labs during the company launch held in BGC Taguig this month.
Armada takes pride in his Sales & Marketing team members, who are also technical people who understand cybersecurity, attested by their current industry certifications.
“We have the best people in the industry to provide unparalleled expertise with the highest value of professionalism. Our team members come from different technology backgrounds, so you can get an insightful and intelligent holistic approach to your cybersecurity,” added Armada.
The company claims to be the only company in the Philippines that focuses on Web Application and API Protection. Armada Innovation Labs has partnered with Web Application Firewall (WAF) vendors like Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Fortinet, Google Cloud, and VST-ECS, and also specializes in Cloud Native Web Application Firewall.
