Whenthecompanystartedout,itwaswithbabysteps, wheretheyfirstfocusedonworkingwiththeweb, buildingwebapplications,andatthetimecybersecurity wasaverysimpleconcept.Infact,firewallandantivirus weretheonlymaincomponentsofacybersecurity strategybackthen.Andyes,firewalldoesrule.The otherthingclosetocybersecuritywaswiththeCisco routerwheresomebodyknewhowtoopenandclose ports,andthereyouhadanantivirusplatform.
Thesewerethetwomainstaysofcybersecurityinthefirst generationoftheInternetandtheWebandcompany, corporate,corporateintranets.Andthesehadcertainlevels ofsophistication,wherepeoplewouldmaintainapassword digestonsomeoftheapplications.Basically,onthe applicationsthatwouldrequireapasswordresetaftera coupeofmonths.
Butsecuritywasprettymuchstraightforward.Therewasn't alottoit.Andthenfastforwardto2013,theyearwhen hackersfiguredhowtobreakintothesenetworksthatwere reallyjustprotectedwithfirewalls.
Andoncethehackersfiguredouthowtoopentheseports, theyfiguredouthowtoscantheorganizations andfind openings.Theywouldgetinandthenfishfortheimportant data,datathatwasfinanciallyadvantageous,toeithersteal ortosellintheblackmarket.
So,whenthishappened,agreatstirwascreatedaround everywhere,andpeoplebegantolookbeyondthebasic firewallsecuritiestomoreadvancedtoolsthatwerebuiltto createmoresophisticateddefenseswithinthecompany's intranetandothercorporatenetworks.Thetoolswouldalso scanforanynefariousactivityandnotifywhensomething wasnotright.Andthislittlebuffertimewouldallowthe organizationstostrengthenthesystems.Newmoderntools likeEndpointDetectionManagementandResponse activelymonitorforintruders,etc.
“This password digest was really advanced back then, even on the web portals that we developed. So, we would custom build those security capabilities at the application layer.”
From that experience, we as a company strategically decided that we were going to become a cybersecurity expert.
“We really got into cybersecurity since 2013.”
Startingwithbuildingwebapplicationsforcorporate intranetsandtheinternet,,asthemarkettransitionedfrom aclientserver-basedarchitecturetoaweb-based architecture.Andthenthecompanywentfrombuilding webportalsandapplications,tocontentmanagement. Andthen,theystarteddoingbusinessanalyticsand information,sothatpeoplecouldgetmoreinformation outofthedata.Andfromthere,theywenttobigdata analytics.

About Microso
Microsoft is among the most well-known brand brands in business. However, company cofounder Paul Allen originally gave the business the moniker Microsoft, which was a mix of the phrases ``microcomputer" and "software."
3.
Gates planned to rename the original Windows operating system to "Interface Manager" when it was still being developed. The moniker was initially used exclusively internally, with intentions to continue using it when the OS was eventually made available to the general public.
1. 2. 3.
Over the years, Microsoft has used a number of distinctive logos, all of which are instantly identiable. However, the original Microsoft logo was created in less than a day by co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
4.
One of the company's most well-known software offerings is Microsoft Ofce, which includes favorites like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Despite the obvious connection to Microsoft, some people would be surprised to learn that Microsoft Ofce rst appeared on the Mac before moving to Windows.
While the typical Microsoft employee may come to mind as a serious coder, they prefer the seriously adorable moniker "Softie." The average softie is a male American resident who works for a company with more than 180,000 people worldwide.
