APRIL 2017CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM 19The traditional weapons that guarded against cyber attacks are no longer effective, as sophisticated hackers have implemented new methodologies to identify loopholes and break into even well-fortified networks. In the modern era, hackers can get in and out of a network within few minutes, exploiting organizations' sensitive data and digital assets expeditiously. These increasing vulnerabilities to systems and networks bespeak a failed technology paradigm and call for a new approach to solve the problem. The team at 3i International has ingeniously crafted the approach.3i International's sophisticated, state of art security tools and resources ensure total security of its clients' organizational infrastructures while allowing them to customize accordingly to meet their particular needs. Being a vendor agnostic firm that promotes efficiency, productivity, and profitability, 3i International has become the choice of cyber security customers around the world mainly because of its unparalleled mitigation strategies and managed services. "Many of our clients have found that there's even greater value in having 3i provide multiple products and services ­ and often ask us to come in and serve as their de facto IT department," says Mark Elliott, CEO, 3i International.The company's best-in-class managed services empower its clients with ingenious and appropriate remedies that detect and terminate cyber threats instantly. By deploying 3i International's managed services, enterprises are able to address all the security needs of their organizations and prevent data breaches from bad actors. In addition, it takes out the hassle of managing the IT department and allows safely accessing and sharing data across multiple systems and devices. Today's cyber breaches report indicates even the security giant themselves are becoming vulnerable to devastating cyber attacks that disrupt both business productivity and continuity. This occurs as they underestimate the cohesion of cyber criminals and lack the bandwidth or budget to hire a full time cyber security professional to fight the fast paced landscape of cyber security. With its quality driven managed services portfolio, 3i International proffers the resources these companies lack internally and delivers the right technologies at the right rate structure. "We have the ability to provide the resources they lack internally with a Managed Security offering that would be much like fractional jet ownership," states Elliott. Moreover, the company also evaluates its clients' current security capabilities and identifies and eliminates the potential threats that are rounding the networks and systems.Another part of 3i International mission revolves around addressing the zero day threat that exploits the security gaps in networks and systems. To help clients terminate the concerns associated with zero day threat, the company has brought forth a sand box solution. It captures the suspected malware and quarantines in a sandbox to determine its potential. "We extract and assess malware that hackers try to hide in SSL and TLS, preventing it from ever breaching the client's network; and we detect viruses, worms, and bugs--and eradicate them--in minutes, not hours," delineates Elliott. In the present scenario, the emergence of artificial intelligence as a risk management tool promises to future proof enterprise business identities and digital assets. "We have seen the application of machine learning and AI as resources to enhance the detection and response abilities of an enterprise," affirms Elliott. The company going forward intends to incorporate the AI and machine learning tools not only to enhance the detecting capabilities but also to optimize automatic AI platforms for ensuring complete security of organizations. 3i InternationalIngenious Cyber Security SolutionsMany of our clients have found that there's even greater value in having 3i provide multiple products and services ­ and often ask us to come inCOMPANIES - 2017 CYBER SECURITYTOP 25Mark Elliott, CEO
