tmg-emedia: Mitigating Risks with Right Security Controls

CIO VendorChris Moschovitis, Chairman & CEO
Cyber security risks and changing regulatory requirements add complexities that often restrict the process of seamlessly carrying out financial trades and transactions. Firms and institutions in the financial sector therefore need solutions that assure confidentiality, availability, and integrity of sensitive data to avert significant damages to their business. “However, companies should never fall into the trap of thinking that a set of solutions today will deliver them safely from cyber security threats tomorrow,” apprises Chris Moschovitis, Chairman and CEO, tmg-emedia. “Promises to the contrary are dangerous, expensive fantasies that deliver a false sense of security.” Understanding this scenario and enterprise needs, tmg-emedia, a boutique, broad-spectrum technology consultancy firm with its vast experience and expertise across governance, business transformation, development, IT management, and cyber security, empowers customers to have the right insights to mitigate cyber security risks. “Our solutions are never ‘one-size-fits-all’ answers. Instead, we approach each engagement with open eyes, quickly arrive at the assets of value, and select the right controls to protect them,” says Moschovitis.

Founded in 1989, tmg-emedia specializes in three key areas— consulting, development, and technology management. In their cyber security practice, they focus on advising and managing clients’ cyber security needs by conducting detailed asset valuation which involves in-depth assessments of what has to be protected and its overall value, followed by threat valuation, business impact analysis and ultimately, the creation of dynamic cyber security program. The company’s solutions satisfy key metrics beyond the classic confidentiality, integrity and availability triad: They look for solutions that also focus on responsiveness, capacity, and resiliency all critically important in the financial space.

tmg-emedia practices a culture of valuing people rather than vesting full attention only on technology. “Our focus is the people, their roles, their business, and then the enabling technologies, proper governance, and risk management,” explains Moschovitis. “We consider our relationships critical to the way we deliver value and to the way we conduct business.” At the same time, the company emphasizes on the delivery of cyber security awareness training, and proper security program governance, reporting directly to the board or CEO, never to IT. “We recognize the constant need for vigilance and change management, testing, tuning, and frequent cyber security awareness training,” states Moschovitis. “Our most powerful control, always, is to develop a culture that is aware and cyber sensitive. Only then will all the other cyber security controls stand a chance of success.”

A multitude of enterprises have been benefited with tmg-emedia’s cyber security awareness training that helps deliver appropriate security program development efforts focusing on objective asset and threat evaluations, the application of reasonable controls, and the establishment of on-going program management. Aside from carving a niche in industry through its consulting practice, the firm is known for its excellence in project and program management as well as infrastructure practice.

For the future, tmg-emedia aims to deliver more guidance and leadership in the realm of cyber security and partner with clients by leveraging its decades of experience and thought leadership. “We are set to forge forward, building on our long legacy by evaluating each assignment carefully, by delivering value to our client-partners, and by ensuring that we are the right fit with our customers’ needs,” concludes Moschovitis.
