• 15 years ago, I quit a $72,000 stable job to start a cybersecurity company.
• Escaping from the 9-5 wasn’t my goal. Fulfilling my vision was.
• On January 3, 2010, I suggested on my boss to establish a cybersecurity department.
• He declined, believing the market wasn’t ready for this service.
• I quit, immediately.
• I had only $1200 left after my marriage.
• So I sold my car, got a motorcycle instead, and put the rest of the money in my new startup.
• Technology was evolving fast. So do fraud, theft, and vandalism.
• This time, not in traditional ways, but in what we call cyberattacks.
• So, companies had practically only 2 options:
• 1- Waiting for cyberattacks to happen to respond.
• 2- Proactively protecting themselves.
• For me, I knew one thing was right: Being ready even before the market was.
• My wife has supported me since day 1.
• In 2012, we had our first breakthrough.
• A group of companies chose us over big names in the industry.
• We moved to an office and hired our first team members.
• Since then, we have welcomed 30 team members and onboarded 160 new companies from every industry you can think of, across the UAE, KSA, and Lebanon.
• All of them have registered 0 breaches since they started working with us.
• Yet, there is a dangerous pattern in the market I wish to erase.
• 99% of companies adopt a full cybersecurity solution after a damaging cyberattack almost ruined their operations and brand reputation.
• Dear CEO, COO, CISO, CIO, and CFO, it’s never too early to protect your data.
• For a hacker, it’s always the right time to attack you.
• If you don’t know how well-protected you are and what gaps expose your systems to risk…
• At Teknologiia, we made it easy for you to get started with our Cyber Resilient Protocol™ used by our multi 7-figure clients.
• DM me “RISK” to get it.
