Doug Howard, CEO of Pondurance, advocates for a risk-based approach to cybersecurity, tailoring defenses to an organization's unique threats.

Prioritizing critical risks is central to this strategy, ensuring protection against the most severe potential attacks.

The approach aligns with major regulations, like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and New York's cybersecurity rules, enforcing compliance for financial entities.

Howard underlines the necessity for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers to genuinely implement this risk-based methodology.

Pondurance commits to long-term partnerships with clients, aiming to consistently minimize cyber threats and diminish the chances of successful attacks.

Adopting a risk-based framework has proven effective, with organizations experiencing fewer significant breaches and intercepting more security incidents.
