Quant Samurai: Disruption & Innovation Bridging The Technology & Skills Gap In The Cyber Security Industry
Globally, cyber threats are increasing, with yearly financial damages predicted to exceed $10.5 trillion by 2025. Commercial solutions now offered do not fully meet consumer demands in terms of automation, pricing, services, and other capabilities. At around 10 percent penetration of security solutions today, the entire addressable market amounts to a startling $1.5 trillion to $2.0 trillion. The lack of penetration of cybersecurity services and products indicates that most chief information security officers' (CISOs') budgets are underfunded. Customers require service-oriented cybersecurity, and the four categories outlined below are driving and influencing the market: Cloud delivered Technologies, Flexible Pricing Mechanisms, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Augmented Technologies & Managed Services.Quant Samurai is a prominent niche player positioned in IT & Cybersecurity Consulting & Security Operations, supporting customers across North America, Europe, the UK, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The firm’s Co-Founders include a Technocrat who brings experience of successfully building the Cybersecurity Practice for a Global IT entity.
