Soumya’s Vision for 2030
Pioneering a Safe, Secure, Trustworthy, Sustainable Next-Generation Internet
Worldwide, ~80% of organisations suffered security breaches and ~40% organisations reported incidents that cost them $ 1M+ in revenue. So, how can an organisation reap the benefits of digitalisation yet not fall victim to such breaches?
At Digiotouch, I am spearheading Cloud and Edge Computing powered solutions where advanced cybersecurity, data privacy, and trust are natively integrated. I provide consulting services on securing infrastructure, apps, and services of B2B clients from manufacturing, robotics, and industrial automation companies. I also organise training for software developers and individuals who are willing to upskill on cloud security, secure operations, secure software development life cycle, and DecSecOps. By working with me, an organisation will reduce cyber risks in its products & services, improve cybersecurity awareness, and install state-of-the-art secure operations.
