KRAA Security Finalist in Business Leader Media’s Business Leader of the Year Awards

KRAA Security Finalist in Business Leader Media’s Business Leader of the Year Awards

This month Business Leader Media announced KRAA Security as one of the finalists in their Business Leader of the Year Awards. This prestigious award is given each year to honor the top business leaders in South Florida. The demand for Miami-based KRAA Security’s information security services is growing rapidly with new offices opening up in Dubai, UAE ; Los Angeles, CA; Delhi, India and Sarasota, FL.

Miami, FL, April 8, 2009 -- This month Business Leader Media announced KRAA Security as one of the finalists in their Business Leader and Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. This prestigious award is given each year to honor the top business leaders in South Florida: those leaders who have made the greatest impact in the business community.

KRAA Security offers managed security services and security consulting services to small and medium businesses. Information security has become too difficult for a typical IT administrator to handle effectively. Small and medium businesses are often the most vulnerable to security attacks because they lack trained security staff, and they are increasingly turning to information security services.

KRAA Security was founded in 2007 to meet this customer demand, and has been growing rapidly, opening up new offices in Dubai, Sarasota, Los Angeles and India.

“We are honored to be selected as a finalist in this year’s Business Leader of the Year Award. This is further validation of our outsourced information security business model,” said KRAA Security founder and CEO Gary Bahadur. “We are seeing increasing demand for managed security services, particularly in the retail, healthcare and financial verticals. Our customers just don’t have the time and money for dedicated IT and security staff, so it just makes strategic and economic sense for them to outsource it to someone like us who can manage it expertly 24/7/365.”

KRAA Security is Mr. Bahadur’s third technology startup. He was the cofounder and CIO of Foundstone Inc, a $20M security vulnerability risk management firm with offices in the United States, Singapore and India. Foundstone was sold to McAfee for $86 Million in 2004. Prior to Foundstone, Mr. Bahadur was the President and cofounder of Ether2 Corporation.

KRAA Security Launched Managed Security for SMB

KRAA SECURITY LAUNCHES MANAGED SERVICES FOR SMB

Expert Security Services available for companies without dedicated Security staff

Miami, FL, March 23—KRAA Security opens up Managed Security Services (MSS) to small and medium businesses (SMB). Usually the most vulnerable to security attacks, SMB’s without trained security staff can now enjoy the same level of protection from data mining, zero-vulnerability exploits, vulnerability chaining attacks, sophisticated phishing, and pharming as large corporations. Now firms can save money and productivity, utilize the skills, facilities, and legal expertise of KRAA Security 24/7/365.

Security has become too difficult for an IT administrator to handle. However, hiring a dedicated security administrator can be costly and at the end of the day, they can only be available for limited hours of the day and can only know a handful of security technologies. Cost, accessibility and skill set are driving factors towards a MSS platform.

“Like other services being outsourced, security services make economical and strategic sense,” says KRAA founder and CEO Gary Bahadur. “How would a small business survive all the malicious attacks and be legally and regulatory compliant? Most don’t have the time and money for full time IT staff, let alone security staff…and that’s exactly what hackers are counting on.”

Most companies lose an average of 20-30% of their IT staffs productivity by forcing them to address security matters for which they are not trained. These IT professionals are not versed in detailed security technologies, concepts and are not up-to-date on the latest anti-hacker tactics. Moreover, they are only available during normal business hours, leaving a company vulnerable during off hours.

Utilizing KRAA Security Managed Security Services allows a SMB to scale without having to add additional full time staff, saving critical dollars for other important IT projects. KRAA Security can also stay abreast on the most threatening security risks as they emerge and provide real-time coverage against the latest exploits targeting a company’s infrastructure.
