Numerous companies continue to face the threat of being a victim of the next cyber-attack. While cybersecurity is an essential function, there are too many tools for security professionals to effectively manage. According to leading industry analysts, an average enterprise has nearly 15 to 25 cybersecurity tools deployed within its environment. Further complicating things, these tools are also often deployed in separate silos. This means that keeping everything updated is almost an impossible task.
What’s more, the industry lacks qualified resources. Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find trained professionals when it comes to cybersecurity. There is a global deficit of security talent and the skills gap is only expected to grow in the foreseeable future. Last but not least, working from home has contributed to the problem. Since employees continue to work from home, traditional security controls have been rendered virtually useless overnight.
Having given proper consideration to all the above-mentioned problems associated with the world of cybersecurity, John Menezes founded Stratejm Inc. in 2015. He states, “Stratejm’s SECaaS and e-MDR are the only way to address these common challenges facing the enterprise.” In fact, the company is a Next Generation Managed Security Services Provider (NG-MSSP), which was North America’s first to pioneer the concept of a cloud-based Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) model. The innovative approach aids in solving a majority of issues that small, medium, and large enterprises are facing.
Further, Stratejm’s enhanced Managed Detection and Response (e-MDR) service, according to Menezes, “builds on our many years of practical SECaaS experience in large and complex environments to achieve advanced Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response.” Hackers are using machine learning and automation for breaching enterprises. The only way to effectively defend an organization is by automating the response. Stratejm continuously explores ways to reduce the time between detection and response. The shorter this time is, the larger the chances of decreasing potential damage.
Stratejm is a recognized thought leader and innovator in cybersecurity. SECaaS and e-MDR have helped over 120 enterprises to achieve better outcomes while simultaneously bending the cybersecurity cost curve.
The mission of Stratejm is to aid organizations in reducing the costs and risks related to cybersecurity operations. Menezes, the President & CEO of Stratejm, boasts, “Stratejm’s SECaaS was among the first, and is still the most mature, true cloud-based offering in North America.”
In order to help its customers conquer the enterprise security challenge, Stratejm provides a range of services, including Virtual CISO, security assessment, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, compliance review, risk assessment, social engineering security assessment, security management consulting, and enterprise cloud risk assessment. The company takes a business-first approach toward its delivery methodology that succeeds at creating an attributable return on investment for money spent.
The robust and unique platforms that the company has designed are SECaaS, e-MDR, Managed Cyber Threat Intelligence (MCTI), and IT Service Management as-a-Service (ITSMaaS). These robust services are delivered fully integrated and turnkey.
The team at Stratejm has constantly been innovating and adding enhanced capabilities to its existing solutions. Over the years, the company has evolved significantly.
Stratejm’s evolution and its proven ability to help enterprises over the years clearly explains its recognition by Gartner and being awarded Fortinet’s MSSP Partner of the Year for 2022.
Stratejm has proved to be a trusted security partner and its customers concur with it. Mark Fernandes, the Chief Information Officer at Hydro Ottawa, says, “As the distributor of safe and reliable electricity to Canada’s National Capital Region, Hydro Ottawa must take cyber and data security very seriously. Stratejm’s e-MDR service offers a robust, enterprise-grade, and turnkey platform combined with the 24/7 business assurance we need. Our partnership with Stratejm has helped us advance our cybersecurity posture.”
Another satisfied customer of Stratejm is Hatch. In the words of Hatch’s Global CIO Maurice Tayeh, “Stratejm’s SECaaS offers an end-to-end security platform that provides us with actionable intelligence that historically was missing from the security silo. We were able to realize rapid deployment across our global data centers within weeks.”
The leadership team at Stratejm are professionals in the field of Managed Security Services in Canada. John Menezes, the President & CEO of the company, built the nation’s first dedicated Managed Security Services Practice in 2002. Over the next eight years, the company grew to become the largest privately held MSSP in the country before being acquired in 2010.
Noting that the threat landscape was rapidly changing and the MSSPs were unwilling or unable to transform their business models, Menezes launched the nation’s first cloud-based SECaaS in 2015. Stratejm is now a leading NG-MSSP that brings innovation and thought leadership to the table.
What further makes Stratejm different from other companies in the world of cybersecurity is that the company has a culture of respect and openness for thought and others ideas and opinions. Menezes says, “Integrity and ethics are a foundation for everything we do.” Moreover, the company’s customer service is impeccable – the manned Cyber Intelligence Center offers round-the-clock customer service.
According to Gartner, by 2024 enterprises who have adopted a Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMS)will decrease their security incident costs by 90 percent. Stratejm’s e-MDR and SECaaS have been built in alignment with a CSMA from the very beginning and can help accelerate its clients’ journey toward adoption. This fact alone stands as a testament to the innovation and thought leadership being driven by Stratejm into the security marketplace.
Stratejm aims to be a trusted partner and aids its customers in solving their most complex cybersecurity challenges securely and safely. The company has been assisting its customers consistently by following an effective and tested account management process and governance framework.
Stratejm is continuously innovating and demonstrating thought leadership, making a great difference in enterprises’ ability to reduce costs and risk while being better prepared for the threats of sophisticated cyber criminals. In the present day, Stratejm has already established a global presence and is growing at a rate of 50 percent every year. Nonetheless, it plans to further expand its presence. Menezes states, “We have plans to aggressively target the US Market and then Europe and the Middle East.”
