Nomination Highlights

MKACyber helps decision-makers remove the noise from cybersecurity by approaching it as a business discipline. Using a highly-customized approach and a use-case methodology that transforms security operations into a repeatable process, MKACyber helps its customers make common sense decisions about cybersecurity based on strong business and technical acumen. The company partners with its customers to provide an individualized approach to security, including SOC assessments, high-touch managed SOC services and CISO advisory and collaboration support capabilities.

MKACyber has helped Fortune 1000 organizations and some of the largest agencies in the U.S. Federal Government better defend their networks while retaining security operations talent through the W@tchTower methodology and training CISOs to spend smart, while better communicating their needs to their respective CEOs and executive boards.

In June 2017, the company announced a Series A funding round and continues to innovate with the mission to improve SOC for both the private and public sectors.

How we are different

o Its use-case methodology is utilized to help clients remove the chaos around security operations and focus on the logic needed to properly protect the business. This methodology levels the security analyst playing field and brings more efficiency and process to the important role of security operations.
o It approaches security operations as a business challenge that can be solved by applying logic, elite expertise, and sound judgement. MKACyber’s goal is to create security operations programs that are repeatable, effective, and that safeguard its clients’ long-term business success.
o It believes that security professionals must be able to speak about their role and address company risk from a business standpoint. The company, therefore, works to give CISOs and other security professionals the metrics they need to work in tandem with CIOs to ensure the company infrastructure is stable and prepared to protect the company’s assets.
