Mission

Cyberlandia’s mission is to uncomplicate today’s cyber security. We call that Cyber Simplicity.

By default, every organization has implemented a custom security program. Even when two companies deploy the same technologies, the way those technologies are deployed will be different, as will the policies implemented.

Some of that customization is due to compliance and regulatory requirements, but much of it based on organizational governance that is either poorly defined or fails to stay current with the speed of information technology change.

As a result, deploying comprehensive cyber security has become so complex that it’s nearly impossible to implement it effectively. This complexity is compounded by both solution proliferation and a shortage of security professionals. Therefore many, if not most, security initiatives have become inherently counterproductive.

The solution, at least conceptually, is simple… establish standards that can be implemented consistently across organizations. We see three necessary steps in creating those standards:

1. Create a cloud security reference architecture. A few tools, well deployed, would raise the security profile of most organizations.
2. Have a fully integrated and tested technology stack based on that architecture to avoid “one-off” deployments.
3. Implement “best practice” policies & governance based on the NIST standard, fully incorporating major frameworks like PCI and HIPAA. One size fits all.

Once the standards are established, the next phase is to drive adoption by educating security leaders, executives, providers, and students on the advantages of standardization. Not only would it simplify cyber security, but it would also eliminate the need for individual audits and their associated costs.
