CPA John J. Pulles Offers Cyber Security Solution Via Innovative Program
COSTA MESA, Calif. (PRWEB) June 05, 2018 -- When it comes to cyber-attacks and threat campaigns, nothing is safe. These are the findings of John J. Pulles, CPA. Pulles, as a CPA, needs to keep client information in his CPA office, such as Social Security numbers, bank accounts, tax IDs, etc., safe.
“Through my research I found it important to pay better vigilance to understanding the trends of technology,” said Pulles. “Via increased vigilance, I was able to build a stronger understanding by studying cyber-threat events that made history, and by identifying the known and hidden motivations bad guys have to create innovative and effective cyber-attacks and threat campaigns.”
A paradigm shift in technology is occurring with machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), making its way into the mainstream markets. This technology is included in all manner of products, which is made possible today through the amount of electronic data collected by big tech companies.
“Much of this data is being collected at a rapid pace using devices that have been coined ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), through telemetry systems like those of threat intelligent groups like the Cisco Talos system or FireEye, and analytical data from websites you browse daily,” noted Pulles. “This collection of data is commonly referred to as ‘big data,’ with cloud companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure known to be some of the biggest amassers.”
Cryptocurrency is frequently the requested form of payment with these attacks, the most popular being Bitcoin. Bad guys are driven to develop complex attacks and threat campaigns simply to get into any system it finds (home or office), which includes servers, desktops, tablets, smartphones, and even printers. Once they successfully get into (hack) a system, they install their software onto the servers or spawn scripts that can mine cryptocurrency for them.
To combat this, John J Pulles, CPA offers its colleagues and customers a Security Managed Service Program (SMSP), which was developed and tailored for CPA and accounting operations. It is manned by experienced cyber-security professionals and uses AI and machine learning to help protect from cyber-attacks known and unknown. These experts are experienced in HIPAA compliance to insure medical companies follow procedures for data privacy and security provisions to safeguard sensitive medical information. Safeguarding my client’s information is a high priority.
“Colleagues and customers are urged to better understand the growing cyber-threat landscape, and see how this protection is more effective compared to traditional anti-virus packages,” concluded Pulles. “All are welcome to use this SMSP to protect their endpoints within their own CPA or accounting offices for a small fee, an affordable account for a CPA’s peace of mind.”
