Transforming the way businesses innovate and operate through a deep understanding of all aspects of information security: CyberQ Consulting Pvt Ltd.

Modern day organisations have to face a lot of pressure to comply with regulatory requirements, strengthen their operations and performance, as well as improve their shareholder value. Moreover, the business environment has turned to be hyper-competitive making it extremely risky for organisations to afford ad-hoc security measures. In order to be able to protect their intellectual property and other sensitive customer and business information, firms need to have a comprehensive security strategy that closely matches business objectives.

CyberQ Consulting Pvt Ltd. is aimed at helping companies such as the ones described above. It is a company that is dedicated to offer the best in class security advice based on its in-depth knowledge, expertise and experience in providing security consulting services to clients from India and overseas.

CyberQ: A Class Apart

CyberQ has carved a niche for itself and has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. While its strength lies in the skills and experience profile of key personnel, each one of its consultants are well experienced in their respective domains, with the average experience being around fifteen years. In addition to that, they also have extensive software development experience having worked in both India and abroad. Therefore, during training, the consultants are able to share real life experiences with the audience, making the interaction more meaningful. During consultancy, this reflects in practical and easy to use solutions without the rigors imposed by a purely academic approach.

CyberQ has several IT/Infosec experts with international certifications and a strong R&D team who continuously update themselves with the latest technology/tools to protect customers’ investments in IT infrastructure and Applications.
