The modern criminal employs firewalls, not firearms; viruses not violence. Modern organizations are at war with increasingly sophisticated groups of cyberattackers that threaten to steal their data and risk their reputations. In 2014 alone, a total of 800 million records were breached worldwide, with hacked organizations sustaining an average US$11.6 million in losses. To help organizations navigate the volatile terrain of cyberspace, Rivera Group’s Eagle6 software enables clients to obtain a hawk-like view of their enterprises to spot hackers quickly, and limit the damage they can do. In a global cybersecurity market predicted to reach US $156 billion by 2019, Rivera has already established client relationships with America’s largest government agencies and private organizations.
