London ON, November 1, 2017 – London, Ontario based Digital Boundary Group this week announced the formalization of a strategic business development agreement with Grant Thornton, LLP through which Grant Thornton will be able to provide their clients, across Canada, with access to Digital Boundary Group’s Cybersecurity testing services.
The announcement comes in a time of growth for Digital Boundary Group. The firm has doubled its workforce over the past 3 years. John Millar, President, said “through our relationship with Grant Thornton we expect to add an additional fifteen technical positions to our existing London team within the next twelve months. These additions will support our External Penetration Testing, Web Application Penetration Testing, Mobile Application Penetration Testing and Network Security Assessment service offerings. Most of our existing technical team are graduates of either Western University or Fanshawe College and we support both of those schools' relevant programs as they assist us in our recruiting efforts.”
Digital Boundary Group has been providing cybersecurity testing services to customers across Canada and in the United States for the past fifteen years. This year the firm began servicing customers in the Caribbean and South America.
IT security is a top-of-mind concern for organizations in all industries. Vulnerabilities exist in applications and network configurations used by nearly every organization – discovery of such vulnerabilities provides network access points for cyber attackers. Additional risks are found within an organization itself – social engineering techniques are often employed in an attempt to harvest passwords and other user credentials. Armed with this information, attackers are able to gain unauthorized entry into an organizations’ networks.
It is essential that an organization protect itself, including its users and customers, from cyber exploitation. Information provided in Digital Boundary Group’s comprehensive reporting allows clients to mitigate risk by remediating the vulnerabilities found and educating staff to reduce cyber security risk.
