 Cybersecurity: Consulting or Tool Manufacturing? The Example of PT SYDECO

In the field of cybersecurity, defending against cyberattacks relies on a complex ecosystem where every player plays a crucial role. But when it comes to choosing between cybersecurity consulting and tool manufacturing, which of these two pillars is truly at the heart of protecting businesses? This article explores this question by highlighting the three essential branches: consulting, tool manufacturing, and research. Through the example of PT SYDECO, we will see how these roles interact to create an effective shield against cyber threats.

Cybersecurity Consulting: The Users of Tools

Cybersecurity consulting primarily focuses on the implementation and optimization of defense tools. Security consultants analyze the specific risks that a company faces, propose tailored solutions, and deploy existing products to ensure the protection of digital infrastructure. They play a leading role in configuring firewalls, managing VPNs, and continuously monitoring systems using intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS).

However, these consultants rely on tools designed by others to accomplish their mission. Without these products, their work would be limited to theoretical risk management. The true line of defense is therefore drawn by those who manufacture the tools that make cybersecurity tangible. This reality leads us to explore the role of the manufacturer in this ecosystem.

Tool Manufacturing: Where PT SYDECO Comes In

The manufacturing of cybersecurity tools is a domain where research, innovation, and engineering converge to produce solutions capable of repelling the most sophisticated attacks. This is where PT SYDECO comes in.

PT SYDECO does not just follow the trends of the security market; we create them. Our company develops innovative and robust defense systems that include a comprehensive suite of solutions: firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (NIDS/HIDS/IPS/DPI), honeypots, a secure VPN engine, and an online file-sharing platform.

What makes our products so effective rests on two key principles: ZERO TRUST and micro-segmentation. The ZERO TRUST concept means that our systems do not trust any element, whether internal or external, without rigorous verification. Micro-segmentation, on the other hand, divides the private network into isolated segments, thus limiting the scope of an attack, whether it originates from inside or outside.

These systems are not only high-performing; they are also responsive. At PT SYDECO, our products are automatically updated every week or immediately in the event of new attacks, ensuring protection that is always in tune with the latest threats.

The Results Speak for Themselves

The effectiveness of our products is undeniable. In 2021, PT SYDECO repelled 2,357,351 cyberattacks over 11 months, with none of these attacks succeeding in breaching our defenses. These figures not only illustrate the reliability of our solutions but also the robustness of our approach to security.

Conclusion

In the end, cybersecurity is a field where the collaboration between consulting, tool manufacturing, and research is not only beneficial but essential. Each branch contributes uniquely to the protection of digital infrastructures. However, as demonstrated by the example of PT SYDECO, innovation in the manufacturing of security tools is the foundation upon which all effective defense is built. The results we have achieved show that our proactive approach and ability to innovate in real time make PT SYDECO a key player in the cybersecurity industry.
