Cybersecurity strategy, SOC 2 readiness and executive security leadership for your ecommerce, your connected devices, and every perimeter you defend, on both sides of the firewall.
Attackers do not respect the line between your network and your property. With two decades of cybersecurity experience, a critical part of operations, safety and security planning and implementation, NXT helps you see your full exposure, understand what matters most, and act on it with a plan your board, auditors and customers can trust.
What we protect
-
Ecommerce: Protect storefronts, payment flows and customer data against fraud, account takeover and downtime.
-
The Internet of Things: Inventory, segment and monitor cameras, sensors, robots and building systems that attackers treat as open doors.
-
Your digital perimeter: Cloud, identity, endpoints and networks, assessed against a recognized framework.
-
Your physical perimeter: Gates, sites and facilities, where physical access and cyber exposure meet.
