Strategic Leadership Driving Productivity

Jeremy Murtishaw is the CEO and CTO of Fortify 24x7. He is responsible for the delivery of cybersecurity and consulting services to some of the world’s largest organizations in healthcare, financial services, entertainment, higher education, and more. A key component of that is creating a security strategy to deliver experience, security, and choice to customers. The flexibility that comes with that experience and choice enables workers to be secure and productive from anywhere, anytime.

Holding the role of CEO and CTO is unique, but monitoring physical security is yet another differentiator of Jeremy’s global technology and security organization. His empowering leadership style hinges on the trust and freedom he gives to his team to execute projects and bring creative, new ideas and solutions to reduce the complexity of operations and bring more visibility across IT, product, engineering, and security to stop the next attack. His team removes legacy technology to improve security, reduce costs, and improve visibility. That’s how the Fortify 24x7 is able to stop more than 56 billion unique security events per quarter. Also, the unique insights his team gathers enable them to help improve products and services by delivering the best possible experience for users.

Jeremy is a seasoned security veteran with more than twenty-eight years of experience in cybersecurity, reducing business risk, threat intelligence, corporate data protection, infrastructure simplification, and crisis management. His experience has provided him the opportunity to deliver durable security and risk solutions to global 1000’s, countries and public agencies around the world.

Fortifying Industry Through Research and Active Participation

Fortify 24x7 is an active participant in many working groups, associations, and consortiums focused on mitigating the threats of ransomware and hackers to businesses, communities, and individuals. Network, operating system and application vulnerabilities and exploits are artifacts of our Incident Response and Penetration Testing work and this research done by the Fortify 24x7 team is provided to the community either through its blog or its open source threat intelligence feeds.

Leveraging New-Age Technologiesto Create Risk-Free Environment

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) facilitate the rapid identification of known threats and deviations from normal patterns. Fortify 24x7’s Cybersecurity Managed™ program leverages both AI and ML based technology to protect its customers’ endpoints and sifts through terabytes of event data generated every hour.

The Fortify 24x7 Cyber Health Check is a 30-day assessment of customers’ IT environment looking for signs of activity that may be early indicators that a threat actor has access or is gaining access to their environment. Utilizing AI+ML enriched with its internal threat intelligence data, the company conducts its assessment by looking for indicators of compromises that have gone undetected, employee misuse that may lead to future compromise, shadow IT bypassing existing security controls, and malware that may be bypassing customers’ existing host-based protections. The outcome is a comprehensive report of all anomalies identified during the 30-day window which validates whether their financial investment and security controls are working to effectively reduce their overall risk.

Committed to Innovative R&D Initiatives

At the core of Fortify 24x7’s DNA are research and development. The company’s team spends more than half of their time performing security research, bug hunting, testing products, and product combinations to ensure compatibility. Its customer management team is constantly engaged with its customers and the community to understand their needs, which allows Fortify 24x7 to develop new and improved products and services to fit these needs. As technology and the threat landscape continues to evolve, the company’s commitment to R&D will continue to keep its customers protected.
