Like every entrepreneur on the journey to launch the next big software startup, security likely takes a backseat.
After all, your focus is accelerating growth, acquiring users, raising funding and going
to market as fast as possible.
But ignoring cybersecurity fundamentals in the name of speed is a recipe for disaster down the road. Data breaches could completely derail your ambitions right as momentum builds.
This article reveals the threats facing emerging software companies, simple oversights that leave your systems exposed, and steps to implement basic protections so you can confidently scale.
While all businesses face cyber risks today, three factors make fledgling software startups prime targets for attacks:
Even small oversights get exploited by attackers. But a few fundamental protections
implemented early allow software startups to confidently scale without nasty breach surprises down the road.
Follow these steps to build a basic security foundation:
By proactively applying security fundamentals early, startups stand the the best chance of avoiding disastrous breaches that devastate fledgling companies.
While following core security best practices is a vital first step for startups, finding tools that simplify and automate protection is key for resource-strapped teams.
The right platform converges essential capabilities to provide comprehensive defence without draining limited time and engineering resources.
Cyberangels all-in-one solution offers exactly what startups need by integrating the critical security layers of assessment, monitoring, access controls, compliance and more onto a single platform.
That convergence eliminates the headaches of managing disjointed vendors while enhancing protection by filling gaps and interconnecting defences.
As a startup, you face no shortage of challenges on the journey to change the world through software.
Securing customer data and IP shouldn’t be one of them. But the reality is, that most
emerging companies end up cobbling together disjointed tools that leave gaps hackers happily exploit.
There is a better way. The Cyberangels platform converges the essential protections growing startups need onto a single pane of glass. No more juggling dozens of security vendors and consoles. Instead, seamless integration of key capabilities to provide a comprehensive defence.
Here’s how the Cyberangels all-in-one solution fortifies startups:
Unified Visibility and Control
The interactive dashboard delivers an integrated view across defences. See endpoint, network, access and compliance status in one place. Enterprise-grade visibility fuels faster response without the clutter of disparate tools.
Automated Assessment and Remediation
Built-in scanning continuously checks code, networks and systems for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The AI-powered platform auto-generates action plans tailored to address high-risk gaps before they’re exploited.
Third-Party and Vendor Oversight
Startups rely heavily on vendors and contractors. Cyberangels vets, monitors and limits external access to minimise third-party risk. Partners adhere to your security policies without the manual oversight needed.
Compliance Automation
As you scale, regulations like SOC 2 and GDPR apply. Cyberangels monitors compliance
controls and alerts on policy violations to simplify meeting standards and audits.
Simplicity for Lean Teams
The platform integrates cleanly with your stack and is designed for easy use by small, resource-strapped teams.
Don’t wait for a crisis to occur – be proactive now in hardening defences.
