What a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhat a year this has been to humanity, an epidemic has fundamentally changed the way we interact with one another, social distancing, lockdowns and restrictions in virtually everything we do. Covid-19 has changed the way we conduct business and shifted the way we secure our businesses.\n<\/p>

\nAdversaries\u2019 activities are at an all-time high, be it nation state actors or financially driven attackers. The ever-changing threat landscape is evolving faster than ever and OT networks and IoT devices are a core target for such malicious activities. Repeated attacks from threat actors sponsored by nation-states, such as the recent SolarWinds attack<\/a> on Microsoft, FireEye, the US government, and around 18,000 other organizations, have prompted fears not only of significant physical damage and economic disruption but also of the increased possibility of all-out cyber warfare. You could describe the situation as an all-out war, only with no guns involved and not a single bullet shot.\n<\/p>

\nIn the midst of all of this, we felt that it is imperative to support the broader community and so with the outbreak of Coronavirus earlier this year, we offered all of our products for free for an initial term. And today, we are honored to protect some of the world\u2019s largest organizations in manufacturing and critical infrastructure. In fact, the Japanese government publicly praised SCADAfence\u2019s efforts<\/a> to secure multiple Japanese organizations, completely free of charge.\n<\/p>

\nDespite the Covid-19 pandemic and possibly because of the recent spike in attacks, our team at SCADAfence<\/a> has managed to sustain our exponential growth and the continued scaling of our global footprint with rapid expansion in new markets, such as LATAM and APAC.\n<\/p>

\nThis rapid expansion can also be attributed to our technological advancements and innovation. Launching new features based on customers\u2019 real needs, such as our User Activity Tracking<\/a>, a feature that was built specifically for the new, work from home norm; and the SCADAfence Governance portal<\/a>, which centrally monitors the adherence to industry standard and regulations.\n<\/p>

\nOne of the things we\u2019ve always taken pride in is putting our customer\u2019s needs as our top priority. To that end, SCADAfence has won 11 industry awards in 2020, more than all companies in the OT security industry combined \u2013 but that all pales in comparison to having the highest customer satisfaction rating<\/a> on Gartner\u2019s Peer Insights. Not to mention the feedback we\u2019ve been receiving from our customers, here\u2019s just one example:\n<\/p>

\n \u201cSCADAfence has well exceeded all of our expectations in both service level and product quality. Their team has been extremely knowledgeable, customer-focused, and timely in all aspects of our interactions.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/p>

\nProcess Controls Engineer at a Fortune 100, O&G company.<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/p>

\nThere\u2019s no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year but also a year full of growth, dedication and grit. I\u2019d like to thank our entire team for all their hard work, efforts and creativity. A big thank you to all of our partners and of course, our customers for choosing to work with us, it\u2019s not a given and never will be.\n<\/p>

\nIf you\u2019ve made it this far and even if you did not, I\u2019d like wish you a great 2021!\n<\/p>

\nEnjoy the holiday season and stay safe.\n<\/p>

\nHappy new year!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
