Ultra Scary LLC celebrates first year in business

Cyber-security Company Focuses On Compliancy, Security And Dark Web Monitoring

Ultra Scary LLC, a division of Sensible Gurus, Brookfield, Wis., recently celebrated its first anniversary with a ribbon-cutting by The Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, and a reception at its newly remodeled offices.

Ultra Scary specializes in four areas: dark web monitoring, phishing engagements, non-destructive vulnerability assessments, and Canary honeypot services.

Gjeret Stein, president and owner of Ultra Scary, said, “Small and medium-sized businesses are the prime target for attackers because they tend to be easier targets. They’re often less secure and unprepared for attack. With more cybercrime automation and the rise of hacking kits, the cost and time it takes to launch a successful attack on a company has decreased, increasing the amount of cyber-attacks executed.”

Seventy-nine percent of small businesses do not have an incident response plan. Without one, you may never be able to fully recover when a security incident becomes a reality. (Cybersecurity Trends Report 2017 https://bit.ly/2AredzB ).

Stein continued, “We work with your tech provider to get you the protection you need. Because we don’t compete with your IT staff, we have the unique ability to bring in our outside eyes and specialized tools to find vulnerabilities and recommended remediation.”
