Cybersecurity Lab 247lab

Over the past few years, the number of threats to business on the Internet has sharply increased. According to Kaspersky Lab, 90 million hacker attacks were carried out in Runet over the past 4 years. And the total losses from them of Russian companies reach 2.5 billion dollars per year. Nevertheless, the domestic market information security is still in its conception. Fewer than a dozen companies are represented on it, and most of them focus only on very large business, leaving no opportunity to protect themselves to the younger brothers.

Therefore, in July 2015, the St. Petersburg company 247lab began its activities. It focuses on creating an optimal solution for small and medium-sized businesses. The company provides a free opportunity to check your site for threats and get recommendations for their elimination. According to 247lab experts, their work is similar to that of a therapist - the main task is to correctly diagnose the "disease" and give recommendations to the "patient." In most cases, after a correct diagnosis, the "patient" himself can find a cure and solve his problems.

"Small and medium-sized businesses have been in the gray zone for a long time in terms of information security. They are not interesting to large auditors, as they are used to huge budgets. And the owners of companies themselves, as a rule, are sure that no one will crack them, that this is a danger only for corporations. But the thing is that most sites break not in order to break a particular site, but simply scanning in automatic mode. The hacker finds the hole, exploits it, and either receives user data for sale, or simply uses your server to increase the power of its next attacks. " - says the representative of the company Molchansky Andrei.

The Laboratory claims that out of 137 studied since the beginning of the site, only two did not contain safety-critical errors.
