Business Information Solutions (BIS), a prominent IT support and cybersecurity services provider on the Gulf Coast, has announced that its CEO, Phillip Long, has successfully acquired the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. This achievement marks a significant enhancement in the company's capabilities to safeguard businesses against evolving cyber threats.
The CEH certification, globally recognized in the cybersecurity industry, equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to think like malicious hackers. This expertise allows them to anticipate and counteract potential cyber attacks more effectively. Long's new certification complements his existing credentials, which include CISSP and CMMC certifications, further solidifying his position as a leader in the field.
With this new qualification, Long and his team at BIS are now better positioned to conduct penetration tests that simulate real-world hacking scenarios. This approach enables them to identify vulnerabilities within client organizations and develop tailored solutions to mitigate risks. The certification underscores BIS's commitment to staying ahead of cybersecurity trends and providing cutting-edge protection for businesses in the region.
Long emphasized the importance of this proactive approach to cybersecurity, stating, "The best defense is a great offense. You want to know what the bad guys are doing so you can defend against it." This philosophy reflects BIS's strategy of anticipating and preventing cyber threats before they can cause damage to their clients' systems and data.
The implications of this development are significant for businesses on the Gulf Coast. As cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication and frequency, having access to advanced cybersecurity expertise becomes increasingly crucial. BIS's enhanced capabilities, bolstered by Long's new certification, offer local businesses a stronger line of defense against potential cyber attacks, helping to ensure their digital assets remain secure and their operations resilient.
Founded in 2001, Business Information Solutions has established itself as a trusted partner for businesses seeking comprehensive IT support and cybersecurity services. Long's latest achievement reinforces the company's dedication to excellence and its ability to provide state-of-the-art protection in an ever-changing digital landscape.
