Westchester's Black Talon Security Endorsed by CSDS

Kathlene Gerrity, Executive Director of Connecticut State Dental Services, LLC (CSDS), announced the endorsement of Black Talon Security as exclusive cybersecurity provider for its PROPS Center.

“Black Talon is a dedicated cybersecurity company with a team of highly credentialed specialists in information security and technology whose focus is to keep your sensitive data secure,” said Gerrity. “They will implement a multi-layered security solution to help prevent a cyber or ransomware attack at your business. The PROPS Center is extremely excited to collaborate with Black Talon to help protect dental and other small businesses here in Connecticut.”

Black Talon is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for the dental industry and other business sectors. The PROPS Center, which offers professional resources, office products and services, chose Black Talon for its advanced solutions that can help mitigate ransomware attacks resulting in significant lost revenue and productivity for dental practices.

According to Gary Salman, CEO, Black Talon Security, “We are excited to be selected by The PROPS Center to help better educate and protect their affiliates. The average cyberattack will force a practice or business to shut down for two weeks and could negatively impact its reputation. This does not even factor in the potential for ransomware attacks which could cost anywhere from $30,000 up to millions of dollars.”

Some of the benefits for PROPS Center affiliates include:

• Special CSDA member pricing and non-member discount pricing
• Additional layers of security provided by credentialed specialists in cybersecurity, who will work with an IT company to further increase the security of a network
• Cybersecurity Awareness Training on proper cyber hygiene
• Real-time internal vulnerability management to locate “open doors and windows” on the network that allow hackers to easily gain access
• Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI) which analyzes vulnerability data in real-time and alerts Black Talon of high-risk, exploitable vulnerabilities
• EAGLEi, a real-time security portal that provides a clear picture of the security risk in a central, easy-to-access, location
