Business Intelligence Security, or BIS as we’re known, has a very simple philosophy. We want to bring Enterprise grade InfoSec and Cyber Security to ALL small to medium businesses. We want to prevent SMB/SMEs we engage with, from becoming the next victims/statistics on the daily list of cyber security breaches. We not only think this is achievable, we know it is.
Cyber Security is not some mystical art. Sure, when we get down to nuts and bolts, you need some mind-numbingly extensive experience. But we’ve already done those “hard yards” for you. The business owner, CEO, Managing Director, Practice Manager, or Board Member doesn’t need 20 years in CyberOps to be able to make informed, proactive decisions about the Cyber Security of their business. They just need the correct information at hand to make informed, intelligent decisions. That’s where we come in.
It is the same issue as if we were to come and try and be CEO or managing director of your business. If we had all your experience, maybe we could pull it off, maybe not. But we don’t try to do that, because you’re already doing a good job of that. We can leverage your experience in that field, why would we spend all that time and money doing what you already do?
What we do have is very extensive experience in InfoSec and Cyber Security. We are, with all humility, experts in these fields. You can leverage our experience, to ensure your business doesn’t become just another unnecessary statistic.
This is what we do.
We have >50 years combined experience in IT Security, Penetration Testing and Consulting. We are also the sister company of Ramtech. BIS was started as a separate strategic security consultancy, so as not to muddy the waters between managed IT Services and private hosting, network engineering and design, and the dedicated profession of InfoSec (or Cyber Security). They’re quite different fields, so we thought quite separate companies would be more appropriate.
What we are passionate to see all businesses do, whether they’re already our clients or not, is to make informed, responsible and proactive decisions, before they are forced to, by a Cyber Security breach. Not afterwards, when they’re forced to make knee jerk, ill-informed decisions based on they’re circumstance. Making these proactive choices, is the first step towards not being just another Cyber Security statistic.
Ross Marston is the founder and CEO of Ramtech, and is also the founder and CSS (Chief Security Strategist) of BIS. While he is the driving force behind both businesses, he is also keen for clients to have the transparency to know both their relationship, and also their separate functions.
Thanks for reading this far, and please be sure to contact us directly if you have any further questions.
About our Founder and CSS (Chief Security Officer)
Ross Marston
Ross has an extremely long history in Cyber Security, Information Security and data Privacy. A current member of several key Australian and International Security bodies, Ross started his career in InfoSec around 30 years ago doing Pen Testing and InfoSec analysis (using BSD Unix, HPUX and Xenix tools), as well as Network Engineering and Design, for several Government and multi-national mining companies throughout South East Asia. Predominantly in Australia (Blair Athol Coal and BHP) and Indonesia (Freeport MacMoran).
While the nature of InfoSec and Cyber Security has changed somewhat over that period, Ross, through his work at Ramtech, has continued to hone his skills and overall knowledge and understanding of the InfoSec Industry continually since. He is after all, a heck of a Geek.
His passion has remained unchanged over the years. Ross is extremely passionate to see small and medium businesses prosper, and rise above the the hurdles that IT and InfoSec can throw in the way. It is impossible to keep abreast of the InfoSec world unless you are immersed in it, day in, day out as we are. Large Multi-nationals and enterprises have the luxury of large quantities of money and a much slower pace of change.
Being a small businessman for over 30 years now, Ross understands that part of the benefit of being a smaller business, is maintaining agility. So by bringing the knowledge and experience level of large enterprises, to the small and medium businesses that he is so passionate about, Ross aims to give them that continued advantage of being small and agile, but equipped with enterprise level technology.
Ross’ passion is to care for the BIS and Ramtech Client’s, IT and InfoSec needs, as if they were his own. He does this to enable business owners, managers, and board members to do what they do best… Get on with their business, with out the IT and InfoSec obstacles in the way.
So please feel free to contact us here at BIS, and discuss your InfoSec needs.
