In the past quarter-century, Ironwood Cyber's experts have witnessed a seismic shift in cyber threats, from high-profile targets to widespread impacts on individuals and businesses alike. Initially confined to espionage and data theft from major defense programs by adversaries like China, cyber attacks have evolved drastically. Today, no sector or business size is immune.

Early cyber assaults, primarily originating from China in the early 2000s, targeted data crucial for advancing military capabilities, echoing similarities between the F-35 and the Chinese J-20 fighter jet. However, the contemporary cyber landscape encompasses a broader spectrum of threats, with ransomware, extortionware, and data-related attacks plaguing commercial entities.

Previously, businesses without coveted data remained under the radar. Ransomware altered this dynamic by weaponizing data against its owners, making any entity with digital assets a potential target. While robust data backup plans offer a primary defense, extortion and doxing tactics highlight the insufficiency of backups alone. Addressing threats early in the Cyber Kill Chain is imperative to minimize damage and downtime.

Responding to these evolving threats, the cybersecurity industry has developed solutions primarily tailored to large corporations, leaving smaller businesses vulnerable. Ironwood Cyber introduces Enlight™, a solution designed to fortify defenses and disrupt adversaries at the initial stages of the Cyber Kill Chain.

Traditionally, penetration testing is conducted sporadically, leaving gaps as businesses evolve. Enlight™ revolutionizes this approach, offering regular penetration testing backed by decades of cybersecurity expertise at a fraction of the cost. Powered by semi-automation and expert guidance, Enlight™ ensures businesses stay ahead of evolving threats.

Enlight™, a frictionless Software as a Service (SaaS) tool, conducts both internal and external testing with minimal setup, requiring only a single agent on a networked machine. Its intuitive customer portal streamlines administration, reporting, and execution, making cybersecurity accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes.

In a rapidly evolving cyber landscape, proactive defense measures like Enlight™ are indispensable to safeguarding businesses against emerging threats and ensuring resilience in an increasingly digital world.
